Is there a Hulk curse now? You play Hulk once and you get booted. Happened to Bana, Norton, this guy might be next 
Not true, the director and producers of American History X and The Italian Job complained that he gets into the editing process and makes sure he gets ALOT of screen time. There is no way a guy like that could work with 7-8 stars sharing one screen. Its a fact that he isnt a team playerNautical Honors Society said:
I love Norton, it's disappointing they're shafting him, and I hope they reconsider.
But I think it's for costs. They're going to have over half a dozen leading men fight for screen time and first billing.

Considering the movie, the cast and what will most likely happen in it, the role of Dr Banner will be a small one indeed.
He did an ensemble cast in the Italian Job. More over he's often paired up with actors who's characters steal the show. To be fair I'm sure he won't work for peanuts either, and Marvel seems to expect exactly that. Chris Evans is getting paid $300k for playing Captain America, which really seems kind of off.Jbird said:
Marvel has said that they feel the actor is not important, people pay to see their heroes. While the new Hulk didn't do great, most of that could be attributed to the fact it was rebooting a franchise from only 5 years ago. I'm sure a fair amount of people, if not most, saw The Incredible Hulk solely because of Norton.
American History X was an amazing movie because of Norton, if he got involved in the editing process to see that he had more screentime, kudos to him. He was the whole damn movie. As for the Italian Job, he really didn't seem to have much screen time, at least not more than the other leads.soapyshooter said:
I recall hearing he wanted more Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk, but hell I did too. The Incredible Hulk was intended to most closely resemble the old TV show, in which we saw Bill Bixby for 40 minutes, and Lou Ferrigno for about 3.
I really like Ruffalo as an actor (he was my favorite character in Zodiac and damn good in Shutter Island), but I'm not sure if he could be Bruce Banner. I liked Norton, but I'm not going to ***** about that. I say we give Ruffalo a shot if it is indeed him. He's surprised me before, I think he can do it again.
Biggest thing that pisses me off about people talking about Mark Ruffalo: no one ever mentions his small but awesome role in Collateral! I can understand why people don't mention The Brothers Bloom, for instance, but Collateral was huge and really helped propel him to his current semi-stardom. Has this movie been completely forgotten already?
they also just confirmed that the dude from Hurt locker....Jeremy Renner will be Hawkeye for the Avengers along with Ruffilo as the Hulk
There's still no denying that Norton is a primadonna. If the guy was about doing the job, like most actors, then he would have stayed and did is part. If he felt as though Banner wasn't going to get enough screen time, then he should realize that the Avengers aren't about Banner OR Hulk, alone. Besides, if Banner has small part of the film, then Norton could have gone off to do another project after he filmed his scenes. Not much common sense when it comes to the greedy.mindlesspuppet said:
I personally don't see Mark Ruffalo ever fully portraying the Hulk as it should. He's too damned mellow.
Isn't the hulk going to be played by the same animated mesh as before?
The guy who plays banner doesn't really matter that much. He's only interesting when he's the hulk so long as the new actor can look conflicted over how he's "a monster" then he'll do fine.
