Edward Norton in. Edward Norton out. Candidates Rumored. Mark Ruffalo frontrunner. Ruffalo wins. It appears that an actor as been inked to be the Hulk in Marvel’s The Avengers. After a public fallout between Norton and the studio, rumors floated around as to who might become the Hulk. Now, it appears that we have a winner that we’ll be announced pretty soon.
UPDATE – Deadline claims the deal is done for Ruffalo to join AVENGERS, and that you’ll get the official announcement at the Saturday Comic Con panel from Marvel!
Mark Ruffalo is a great underrated actor. I have no worries regarding his portrayal of Hulk. I’m sure he will bring great balance to the character, and add a little touch of his style. I’m glad that this is going to be announced pretty soon. Now we’ve got Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Sam Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Neal McDonough. This is an awesome cast. Can’t wait!
What do you guys think? You ok with Ruffalo going green?
I was hoping Eric Bana would have done it. I liked him in the first Hulk. It is the Hulk that I didn’t like in that movie
Hold on a minute. What character is Jeremy Renner playing?
he’s hawkeye..
He’s quite a different Banner than Norton–more like a Bana. It’s a shame we couldn’t keep the continuity of Norton, but I think Ruffalo will do a great job.
In a perfect world, Norton would be back and that would be my first second and third choice. That being said, Ruffalo is a very good actor and Im glad they went with a talent rather than a throw away or unknown. This casting tells me two things, one: Bruce Banner will be in the Avengers as much as the Hulk, and two: pretty good chance there will be an Incredible Hulk sequel. Good news on both fronts.
Ruffalo is a quality actor and should do the Hulk proud. He has this likability about him that just draws you in, kinda reminds me of Bill Bixby in that regard. Yes, Bill Bixby is still my favorite Bruce Banner, in my opinion no one compares to him.

Whoever plays the role I will still watch the movie bigtime…
Love it!!
