Ed Norton is a popular guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he had conflicts with scheduling.

And the sad thing was, poor Norton got all excited about working with the team cast members too. Way to pull the rug out from underneath him >_>. I'm losing my respect for the other companies and such working with Marvel, meany-paiz.

Yeah I took the time to read the article right after I posted. Shame he won't be back and that they fucked him over.

Eric Bana was a better Banner than Norton was, just FYI and all that guys.

Still sucks though, since Norton was also really good in the part. Good to know that Marvel's grasp of continuity is just as good on the screen as it is in the comics.

I preferred norton tbh, he played the character far better than bana who merely portrayed an abused lil shit who couldnt connect with people.
The character is supposed to be friendly and gets on well with everyone like the way that norton portrayed him (which can prob be put down to absolutely crap directing in the first movie I guess)

Personally I thought the first movie was much better. The second one was good too, don't get me wrong, but far too formula and by the books. Plus Norton didn't play Banner as being messed up enough. Seriously, the dude is more fucked up mentally than virtually any major character in the Marvel Universe.
 
They axed him because there was some serious heat between Norton and Marvel. On the Hulk Norton was promised full creative control which Marvel didnt deliver on. Tensions ensued.

Dont get me wrong, the second film was far from perfect roth however was perfect before the whole abomination pish.
I just really disliked bana and his portrayel of the character especially the corralation between him and his father and the whole backstory of how the hulk became the hulk.
Better leaving it the way it was meant to be lol.

Norton is a great Actor, but has a bit of an ego. Shame because he's brilliant on screen and behind, imo. From what I've heard he was refused creative control on Hulk, as some of his script changes were "too dark" or something. Thus tension between him and Marvel. I would love to see him part of The Avengers, but I can understand the decision. Creatively he seems to be a bit of a control freak. Whild that is understandable (since many creative people are the same way) it can be detrimental to an ensemble film.

It still sucks since he seemed excited to do the film, and I think him+Joss+RDJ would have been AMAZING :(

Excuse my Australian bias, but hoorah, Eric Bana. I'm betting you all like Ed Norton because of his cult status anyway, because I sincerely think Eric Bana is a better actor in that he can perform a diverse range of roles well. In that respect he's better than Russell Crowe, and Russell Crowe somehow won an Oscar =P.

I thought the original hulk film was fucking TERRIBLE as a Hulk film, and a decent film overall.

I dunno how to feel about this.

Have you seen the Hulk cartoon series? I think it was made in the 1970s or something. That was TERRIBLE, imo. One reason I never really got into the Hulk as a character.
