Edward Norton is The Hulk
"Edward Norton is a rare talent and one of the most versatile actors in the business. His ability to transform into a particular role makes him the ideal choice to take on the character of Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Edward is perfectly suited to bring one of the most popular and important Marvel icons to the big screen in a new and exciting way," said Kevin Feige, President of Production, Marvel Studios.
Under the visionary direction of Louis Leterrier (The Transporter 2, Unleashed), The Incredible Hulk will return to the roots of the long-running comic series and television show.

Having appeared in more than 20 films to date, he has garnered numerous accolades, including two Academy Award nominations. He received a Best Actor nod for his portrayal of a former Neo-Nazi in American History X, as well as Supporting Actor recognition for his role opposite Richard Gere in Primal Fear.

Other film credits include: Fight Club, The Painted Veil, The Illusionist, The Score, 25th Hour, Frida, Death to Smoochy, and The People vs. Larry Flynt.

I agree Norton is one of the best but the movie is most likely gonna be cheesy. Only way this is gonna be good is if its relly edgy.

I think Norton is a good choise he has the perfect frame to be Bruce Banner and when has he ever choise to be in a crappy movie so that has to say something for the script.

Wow. I'm a huge Ed Norton fan but I agree with Creepshow, Hulk's place is on the pages of comic books, not the big screen. But what the hell? I'll go see it. If anyone has the power to make this movie half decent, it's Norton.. And I doubt he would take the part if the script was THAT bad.

Alright. I love Norton to death. But I can't help it. I think this movie is gonna be PURE CHEESE! And I know it's for the paycheck, but come on Norton, have soe self-respect man! This movie already came out. And it stunk. Honestly, I just don't think the Hulk is a good film character. Come on, who's with me?

WTF?
Yeah... Agreed.
Norton is better than Bana - by far. Last film was kinda hokey.

It's not easy being green.
I'm thinking Edward Norton is going to have to spend a lot of time in the gym to get ready.
