Poll of the Day > I wish the Incredible Hulk 2008 movie had the same actor from Avengers

(+) Yeah! (+)

Edward Norton sucks. he thought he was super important and got fired for having too much of an attitude on set for Avengers. Marvel decided his ego was too big.

Maybe, but Edward Norton knows Mark Ruffalo's name at least.

Ed Norton is a much better actor, they were stupid for replacing him, American History X and Fight Club were both better than anything ruffalo has done (including avengers)
---

Kinda indifferent between the two, but I hated the 2003 film actor's accent. The really awful casting in Incredible Hulk was Tim Roth (and Tim Roth in general is a little hit or miss)
---

Ruffalo is the perfect Banner though. Norton doesn't really seem like a scientist to me.

also I think Norton made them fire him. he was demanding too much money for his role. and he wanted to be the star of the movie. imagine Avengers if the main character was Hulk. plus you know Norton would want most of the scenes to be as Banner and not the cgi actual Hulk. so it would just be the adventures of Dr Banner and his pals the Avengers

Mark Ruffalo can't act. He plays himself in everything.

A top actor wants a lot of money for a big role? Holy shit

he was acting like his role was bigger than it was. he wanted more money than Cap and Iron Man and Thor. when those 3 are Marvel's "trinity"

Norton is notoriously difficult to work with, and I cant say that is acting range is much broader than Ruffalos.

All I know is that the Hulk we have now is way better from the one in 2008 and that would probably be true regardless of the actor.

He is a bigger actor than the rest, its not about role, it's about being the biggest actor on the project (besides Jackson)

I guess that's why Jennifer Lawerence made more money for Passengers even though the main character is Chris Pratt. she isn't even in the entire movie but he is. yet he made less than she did. the movie is told from his point of view and is his story

He certainly isnt anymore. He got himself a bad rep so most studios dont want to work with him. He also wanted creative control of a 4 billion dollar film. That is beyond arrogant for an actor in an ensemble cast.

Edward Norton was better imo. Dont like Mark

They should do a new Hulk movie with Ruffalo that's canon to the MCU instead.
