The Avengers Choose the Next Bruce Banner/Hulk!

[Surfer]

I agree with someone who had said earlier that Ruffalo looks more like Bana. Which to be honest I didn't hate Bana as Banner, I just didn't like the direction of the movie as much.

[Chewy]

I don't think he looks anything like Bana. Or Norton.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Or Bruce banner.

 

[hatebox]

Yeah, not seeing the Bana comparison apart from the fact he's more heavy set than Norton.

Incidentally I'd take Bana over all 3 of them, he's a very watchable actor even when the script is lacking.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Double post

 

[Steve Holt]

I guess I can see him as Banner. Still would've liked for Norton to be back but oh well.

if he slims down (or bulks up, depending on where he is now) to this look, i could live with it

 

[Symbiotic]

My voted are with either Copley or Crudup. (Though, I'd still love for Marvel to make a surprise Norton announcement)

 

[LightningFlash]

Uh huh. So you're suggesting an obscure actor in an episode of that one tv show who resembles Bill Bixby.

Not ever gonna happen.

Hey, a guy can dream, right? A lot of TV actors are way better actors than big-name Hollywood celebrities. And money sounds like an issue between Fiege/Norton, so, I only thought, lol.

Banner isn't the hero, so Ruffalo wouldn't have to bulk up at all.

 

[Adenjo]

I sort of see banner here... Sort of...
Damn shame about Norton tho, TIH was a class film..

btw did anyone mention Noah Wyle as a possible Bruce Banner?

 

[LightningFlash]

^^ Actually, he reminds me of Freakazoid in that pic.

 

[JeetKuneDo]

RDJ without his Tony Stark goatee kind of looks like Bill Bixby. If he weren't playing Stark he could've been Banner. Maybe he could play both roles and play opposite himself, but give two totally different performances so that they look like two different actors. After all, who else could hold his own against RDJ but RDJ?

Very true.

Ok...I'll come off my "no Banner" stance for this guy. He would be the best Banner to date.

The best part:

Like Edward Norton, whom he'd be replacing, Ruffalo would bring real chops to the role. But, unlike Edward Norton, he wouldn't an on-set a**hole.

A definite upgrade.

 

[Golgo-13]

I agree that Ruffalo looks too much like Eric Bana for my liking. He has one of the most annoying voices for a male actor too.

 

[Steve Holt]

Banner isn't the hero, so Ruffalo wouldn't have to bulk up at all.

what i mean is for all i know he could be fat right now, or anorexic. I haven't seen him lately. but in the that pic he looks just right. i'm just saying that from either side of the spectrum head towards that pic lol

 

[Spider-Fan83]

just came cross these old scans... lol

(I think thats his "don't make me angry" face) lol

 

[misjuevos]

dont forget how the captain america casting went. we heard names then got one from left field. keep that in mind. i still would like the talking hulk. time to put your nuts on the table marvel and go full cg hulk.

 

[Doc Ock]

My voted are with either Copley or Crudup. (Though, I'd still love for Marvel to make a surprise Norton announcement)

I would be so happy with a surprise Norton announcement.

 

[Son of Coul]

Me too, but this is Deadline. And though Nikki Finke is kind of a *****, her sources never fail

He looks the part, would need to just drop a few lbs. Norton really did have that spot-on look though.

 

[Khemik@L]

BRUCE: But What about Parker?
Mary Jane: Who? Peter? He cries too much, I'm looking for a man with more testosterone
BRUCE: Ahh I don't know
Mary Jane: C'Mon... I'll take places Betty can't take you

 

[misjuevos]

just get rockwell to be banner, marvel has him on speed dial, or depp, disney has him on speed dial.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Johnny depp is not needed.

 

[terry78]

Johnny Depp is holding out for Dr. Strange anyways.

 

[OwlBoy]

Or maybe he doesn't want to play a superhero

 

[Golgo-13]

I'm sorry but the Ruffalo casting is not good. I find his voice VERY annoying.

 

[Stripesy Strip]

Ruffalo would be boring to see as much as Bana. Similar acting style and personality. I would prefer someone that you feel like he's this struggling uneasy guy that something hidden can come out at any time. That is why Jason Patric would be my guy. He's like a lost soul. Ruffalo as Bana are too easy going guys that have a cool personality.

 

[Agent 194]

Actually it was Lou ferigno who voiced hulk in the movie and in the 90s cartoons, not the 60s.

You misunderstood my post. The voice of the '60's cartoon was done by the guy who plays the pizza parlor guy (he was also the voice of Spider-Man in the '60's cartoon too - Paul Soles is his name). I was simply pointing out that Ferrigno had a cameo in the movie as well. I know Ferrigno didn't voice those early cartoons. It was all the little touches I appreciated about the movie. Just other reasons I'd like to see Norton back. He loves the history. I think my point was misunderstood.
