Marvel drops Ed Norton -- maybe they don't like him when he's angry

<< < (2/3) > >>

well I enjoyed Norton more than Bana and as a whole and I think this is a fairly bad decision on the studios' part but Phoenix would work well, I think.Still kind of wack since the version with Norton started to introduce us to the whole Avengers universe

 This is my main problem with it as well.  Marvel went as far as putting Robert Downy Jr. In the "Incredible Hulk" movie to begin to tie their Universe together, and one movie into their Hulk reboot, they're going to recast the lead actor...again.  The whole thing is because Norton was pissed that they edited the "Incredible Hulk" movie down, when he felt that they should have released a version that was closer to what he and Louis Leterrier agreed was the better cut of the film.  Since Marvel seems determined to never release that cut of the film we may never have the benefit of knowing who was right in that argument.  But who knows, maybe the version that Norton liked was the better cut of the film.  Either way, I can't believe Marvel Studios is so petty that they can't get past one difference of opinion for the benefit of "The Avengers."  Norton probably isn't the easiest guy to work with, but if they want to be in the business of making movies, they better get used to having to work with people and occasionally deal with differences of opinion.

Not all that excited about this movie. It seems like there would be too many heroes involved to tell a good, character-driven plot. I'd much rather just have sequels to each of these movies.

since banner will be in the movie for a whole collective 5 minutes i don't think it really matters who plays him

 I think Mark Ruffalo is a pretty good actor.  To me he seems like he would make a better Bruce Banner than Joaquin Pheonix who is also a good actor but I just can't see him in that role.  Still wish they would have stuck with Norton though.
