The Avengers The Official 'Hulk in Avengers' thread.

[ironman29758]

If Hulk is the main villain it will be a ridiculous decision by Marvel, as they will run the characters name into the ground, the Hulk is an anti-hero, not a villain.

I wouldnt mind him 'appearing' as a villain for the first half of the movie, but during a fight the Hulk saves a bunch of innocents from a collapsing building and they realise he isnt a villain, he is just defending himself.

I am really interested with what Whedon does with the character, but I hope they aint making him the villain.

If they do show the Hulk to Ultimate Hulk, Hulk in Avengers ORIGIN and the first 3 Avengers issue, Hulk: Gray # 4, The Return of the incredible Hulk, and episodes like Iron Man Armored Aventures, FF:WGH, Wolverine and the X-men, Incredible Hulk film. Where he is just attacking everything in sight and something someone use his anger to direct it something

i have a feeling we'll have norton in the avengers panel as a surprise in SDCC. i'd totally cream myself if that happened.

If this rumor is true, bring a change of pants!

"Now comes word from the direct source that said Edward Norton and Jeremy Renner would be confirmed for The Avengers at Comic-Con 2010, that the director of Doctor Strange will be Guillermo Del Toro and should be announced later this month at Comic-Con 2010 as well."

Guillermo Del Toro is MADE to do Dr. Strange and ED NORTON confirmed in Avengers would make my July!!!!!!!

 

[Doc Ock]

I sure hope Edward Norton is in Avengers....I deeply hope so....

 

[Sawyer]

If Edward's not in, I walk. I'm not bluffing.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Likewise

Marvel needs to stop recasting characters. Edward Norton did a fine job as Bruce / Hulk. This is the same excuse they used for recasting Terence Howard.

 

[JP]

I donno, remember when negotiations weren't looking good with Sam Jackson. And everyone made it seem like him playing Nick Fury was a lost cause. Then, a few weeks later they announce he has a 500 picture deal.

 

[Jaxxon]

Until the studio confirms it and the question mark is removed from the end of that headline, I see it as a rumor. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Son of Coul]

this is the worst thing in the world

I don't get worked up about these movies. They're all just good fun. That's Marvel to me. Good fun about some fun characters with some fun powers. I don't take them too seriously. I was a little disappointed in the Terrance Howard recast at first but I ultimately turned the other cheek because Don Cheadle's a good actor and it wouldn't hurt the movie's continuity much. It's all just good fun. But upon reading the hitflix article I damn near punched a hole in the wall. Awful, awful decision making on Marvel's part if true. And I hope to the lord it isn't.

I'm sure the movie will be great if Whedon really is blowing the actors' minds with some meetings, but ****. Major bummer.

 

[Sawyer]

this is potentially the worst thing in the world

fixed.

 

[Iron_Stark]

I'm serious, I don't care if Iron Man is in this, if they decide to go with an unknown even though Norton wants to do this, I'm boycotting.

FU Marvel, FU Feige.

 

[Da-Scribe]

If this rumor ends up being true, then the Avengers film won't mean nearly as much to me. I've never cared too much about recasting, but that's usually because the character is minor or the actor sucks. Huge character + amazing actor = recast? That's beyond terrible decision making. But we'll see...

 

[Son of Coul]

I was prepared for no Banner, but a replacement Banner would be an even bigger slap in the face to anyone following these movies, bigtime fans or not.

Del Toro on Doc Strange would be amazing but it sounds a little too good to be true, ya know? Plus they took the story down so the link is dead. I guess we'll know more in a few weeks.

I really hope Ed is going to be a part of Avengers. He sounded like he was really into the idea last I heard and it's going to be pretty disappointing if they have to recast.

In fact I'd just as soon they use Hulk and not even have an appearance by Banner, if the alternative is to recast. It's bad enough when it's a supporting character like Rhodey or Dawes but when it's one of your main dudes...ugh.

Norton for Avengers plz!

Also, remember the negotiations with Favreau and Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2

I'd like to wait to SDCC to see if this is true.

 

[Son of Coul]

I'd like to not have to wait to see if it's true

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

If Norton is out which would be the suck the mention of just casting an unknown seems really like a total move for the studio just save a little more money. Give someone like Adrian Brody a shot at Bruce Banner instead of some guy who was an extra on that one show that lasted a week.

 

[Ipodman]

Man.... I was hoping for Ed Norton to come back

What has he been doing ever since Incredible Hulk anyway?

 

[Son of Coul]

seriously though

 

[LostSon88]

One of the biggest appeals of "The Avengers" for me was seeing how these 4 guys work with each other. ESPECIALLY RDJs Tony Stark and Norton's Bruce Banner.

Having those two guys on screen together?

...i'm still to this day irked over the Rhodey recast (though I think Cheadle is better) on an aesthetic level.

If Norton isn't in The Avengers...to say i'd be "disappointed" would be an understatement.

 

[LostSon88]

I think he produced a documentary regarding President Obama?

[Figs]

seriously though

This sums up my thoughts as well.

This sucks bigtime.

 

[Hurm...]

Guys, keep in mind that this may be a financial issue Marvel is facing. This doesn't mean they don't want him back, it's just that he may be too expensive to bring back that it may cut the budget in other areas. Keep in mind, Marvel studios is relatively new.
