Adrien Brody as Bruce Banner?!?

emi · 02-12-2007, 08:45 AM

Make of it what you will...

From AICN:

Have They Cast The New HULK?!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

First time source here.

You know what that means. This is a rumor, and nothing more at the moment. Still, it’s a fascinating rumor, and if this does pan out, I think it’s a really cool choice for “puny Banner.”

Hey Harry –

I've been a longtime fan and wanted to fill you in on the latest casting news coming out of Hollywood. The movie? HULK 2 - which is one movie I have little desire to see. I'm still not quite sure WHY movie execs feel they need to remake this movie. Anyway, it seems they've signed their leading man and will be unveiling him to the public soon. The name is familiar and an interesting choice.

ADRIEN BRODY.

I'm curious as to what you think of him in the role? I haven't seen the script yet but my sources inside the studio say it's pretty good. If you share this news on your website, please keep my name secret.... you can refer to me as SCRUPLE.

Keep up the great work.

In my eyes, not a very good choice.

Stick with Eric Bana. The first Hulk started his career, and he has just continued to grow as a major movie star, in such films like Troy, side by side Brad Pitt, or Munich, directed by Steven Speilberg!

Adrien Brody might be able to pull off the "nerd" look of Bruce Banner, but he does not seem like a guy that would be able to get angry and turn into the Hulk. His performances are great, such as in The Pianist and King Kong, but just doesn't have the look. Eric Bana even looks like Bruce Banner in the current series run.

i would like Bana to come back but i will take Brody

... love the guy, he was awesome in The Village IMO and everything else i've seen him in.

brody does look like his ultimate counter part though

still prefer banner though, i don't want banner to be literally puny

Adrien Brody won an academy award for best actor. If you think he can't pretend to be fustrated and angry you're sadly mistaken.

What's so bad about Eric Bana?

Did anyone see Munich? It's BETTER than the Pianist.

But Banner IS literally puny. It doesn't make sense to cast someone who could pass for a greek warrior.

AVEITWITHJAMON · 02-12-2007, 09:41 AM

Have to say, if we cant get Bana back, Brody is a fantastic choice, he is a great actor and would be perfect if Bana doesnt come back IMO.

That's extremely debatable.

thats one of the major things people complained about the first film, maybe thats why they went with him, if the rumor is true that is.

. But yeah, if we cant get Bana back, Brody would be fantastic.

November Rain · 02-12-2007, 09:51 AM

how does banner's physique have to do with his personality/psyche...

the hulk keeps him in tip top shape, he shouldn't be in peak human condition but he should be similar to a man who is naturally in decent shape without having to apply too much effort which i think suited bana perfectly.

saying this, he only looks like the ultimate interpretation rather than any of the comic ones. bana looks more like a classic bana, maybe if he acted more like one and wore glasses people would have seen more of a resemblance...

Prognosticator · 02-12-2007, 10:00 AM

I think Brody's a fine actor, but he annoys me to point that I feel pissed off after a while. I WANT him to get slapped around, but not so he'll HULK up.

lets wait and see, if LL can pull this off, it would be a great start IMO, the perfect one would have been Bana back and Brody playing Emil

Can someone make a good manipulation of a deformed and green Brody's head on the Hulk's body?

Banner is Hulk's opposite - smart where Hulk is dumb, small and weak where Hulk is big and strong (the strongest one the is!

)

Adrian Brody would make a great Bruce Banner (but I'd take the rumor with a grain of salt)

kekekeke

he'd look like Joker on steroids.

November Rain · 02-12-2007, 10:25 AM

banner was never written as a weakling by stan lee,

besides, if banner was really the hulk's opposite, banner would be a weakling and a coward, and those weren't the qualities i saw in the man who risked his life to save rick jones...

banner and the hulk aren't polar opposites.

true, but alot of people complianed that Bana was too much of a pretty boy to be Banner, maybe thats why they are going this route.

Cosmic · 02-12-2007, 10:42 AM

Bruce Banner should be a tall, thin, shy and socially awkward, but highly intelligent geek. Even if this rumor is nothing, I think Brody would be a damn fine choice for the role.

It's really frightening that people are still talking about Bana, as if there were some slim chance of his return to the role.

none from Marvel or Banas' camp have ruled out his return, thats why we still want him to come back.
