  • That is too bad, The Incredible Hulk was a far superior film to the Hulk. Mostly because of Norton. Hope they don't mess it up too bad.

  • I would have loved to see Edward Norton in this role but I also think they will have some financial issues. Getting so many top actors would cost a fortune.

    Can't wait to see this movie though. I really hope they pull it of.
    Not collecting any more but I still enjoy comics now and then...

  • Look...I am sorry, but when they "launch" or "re-launch" a franchise they need to lock in a franchise player. Sort of like what they did with the American Pie cast.

    If an A-lister won't do it, then find a B-lister. Someone somewhere would be willing to be the next Hulk for 5 movies.

    It just makes the whole thing look stupid when put together. Of course they could just leave banner out of the Avengers altogether and just have the Hulk.

  • I agree totally. The Hulk could possibly be my favorite super hero of all time (on good days it's Sups). Norton did a great job and the effects were great but if they are going to do an Avengers movie that is somewhat true to the original story. Then it should be all Hulk all the time. Feel better now, tired, rest.

  • ah.. I wonder who will now. Edward Norton was great in the incredible hulk, and practically every movie ive seen him in.

  • Some actors are jus spoiled and think that we care about how they see things. We just want them to not make our favorite hero or heroine crapped out on screen. Ed Norton's "creative differences" was just him hurt because the director or producer didnt want to do what he wanted. Incredible Hulk was a great way to brink hulk to screen and do it justly. Now because of an actors stupidity, we have to reimagine a new Bruce Banner. I hope they leave the hulk alone at least.
