Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk

[ericadawn16]

Louis Leterrier, director of Now You See Me and The Incredible Hulk:

When people are asking me, because Mark Ruffalo is in this one, who's the better of the Bruce Banners -- both are great; both are fantastic -- but I actually wanted to cast Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and Marvel was like "No, you should get Edward Norton because he's more famous." So you see what I am saying? They are the ones who wanted Edward -- and I was thrilled to meet him and work with him. I wanted Mark Ruffalo. And they were like, "No, no, he just does smart, intellectual movies." Which makes sense, then and there in his career. But that's how I know him. We've stayed in touch and it's why he said "absolutely" when I offered him the part in this one.

You mean we could have had continuity and Marvel just fucked it up all around? They didn't give him a proper script to work with either...

ugh

At least he's the Hulk now...

I believe it. Marvel...has a spotty track record on those types of calls a lot of the time. After all, they're the ones who had Vanko's and eventually Loki's sympathetic scenes cut because apparently moviegoers can't handle morally gray/sympathetic villains. In Quesada/Feige/Buckley's mind, anyway.

That's pretty upsetting to find out. I could only make it through the first 20-30 minutes of each of the Hulk movies. Maybe if Mark was involved it would have been better.
