To be fair, I haven't really had all that much exposure to Ruffalo as an actor before, but from the past movies of seen of him, he seems to play very cool, mellow characters. I don't know how that's going to translate into a role as the Hulk, basically the living embodiment of rage.
He should have stayed and done the job for less money than he deserves? And what is with people insisting he needs a starring role, and a ton of screen time. I, for on, didn't even realize he was in Kingdom of Heaven until I saw the credit. He's played plenty of smaller roles.Jbird said:
Have you also considered the possibility that Marvel wanted Norton to having a starring role in the Avengers but didn't want to give him starring pay? Because I would think that's a definite possibility. Bruce Banner usually plays a pretty significant role especially if they are going to draw from the Ultimates story line, which I think would be a good bet.
There is also the possibility he just didn't have confidence in the film. No doubt it will be successful, but Joss Whedon is directing it so... yeah.
There's an article about all the confirmed actors on yahoo. Samuel L. Jackson announced it at comic-con,

I'm not really seeing where all the Norton love is coming from. Sure the Hulk movie he starred in happened to be good, but it didn't seem like he revolutionized the role or anything. It mainly just seemed like he did his job right, and as long as the new guy can pull off being all conflicted and such with his angry alter-ego he'll pull off the roll just fine.
The only real issue I see with this whole thing is the actor-character continuity that is being broken. It does seem like a slight shame that Marvel isn't going to be able to pull off a perfect character continuity with all of these movies they are setting up.

huh i heard Joaquin Phoenix was interested in the part this morning on my yahoo news account, but its a shame about norton he really is one of my favourite actors
I really and truly hate it when they do this. The Punisher, Batman, other examples I can't think of off the top of my head, it never goes well.
Am I the only one who wishes that they would use unknowns for the characters instead of getting "name" stars? I know it's so they can get that elusive "non comic fan" to go to the movies, but for me it just destroys the illusion. What I mean is, I don't see Tony Stark and Nick Fury, I see RObert Downey, Jr. and Samuel L. "I'm in 316 movies this year" Jackson. (And yes, I know Ultimate Nick Fury was based on Jackson)
I don't know, I just think that the characters are what we should be going for, but by putting in well known actors it turns into an (insert the name of the actor here) Project instead of an Avengers movie.

Yeah, especially since he saved the Hulk Franchise from that nightmare that Ang Lee created...Nouw said:
