The film roars into theaters on June 13.

Not only will guest star Lou Ferrigno (who played the Hulk in the popular 1970s TV show) make a special appearance in the green-hued "Hulked Out" Gladiator Arena, the world will meet a very different Titan. Hopefully none of the contestants make him angry. They wouldn't like him when he's angry...

The competition is as fierce as ever in this special episode, as science teacher Tony Tolbert goes up against inspirational Columbine High School survivor Landon Jones. On the women's side, Army veteran Chuanda Mason goes toe-to-toe with gritty crime reporter Rochelle Gilken. Fans will also get an exclusive, never-before-seen clip from the upcoming "The Incredible Hulk" before the final contestants battle it out in the Eliminator.
