So, Eric Bana didn't feel like being the Hulk for the second film.

No biggie, now Ed Norton is taking his place. Sounds like an all around improvement.

I must say I'm Impressed. Although I must admit minus the fight scene at the end of The Hulk I liked most of it. This is definitely a better cast judgement then Rumored Dominic Purcell.

Actually, from what I've read at the same site a while back, Eric Bana wasn't ASKED to return as Hulk.

Either way, AWESOME. Ed Norton makes the perfect Bruce Banner!

Shame, I for one think Bana did a great job.

But Norton is an awesome actor, I suppose he'll deliver a good performance as well.

This might not be so bad, though I'm not sure I can stomach another superhero film.

Awesome! I've had a man-crush on Norton for years.

With movies like American history X and Fight Club under his belt, he should be perfect for the role.

I wanna see hulk give a "curby"

I just watched the Illusionist, and I thought Norton did a good job playing a tortured soul. Good casting indeed, this movie is turning out to be really good.

Sounds cool, Norton is an amazing actor

Ed Norton FTW! You are not your gamma radiation.

I guess I'm one of the few who thought the first Hulk was awesome. Sure it was slow, but not every comic book movie has to be 100% explosions, like the films of a certain director we're all familiar with. I thought the way the scenes were arranged on the screen was fun and the character exploration excellent.

But I'll be looking forward to the next instalment, even if it's nothing like the last one.

i enjoyed the first one more than most people, and i thought bana did a fine job, but hell, it's hard to think of a time when edward norton wouldn't be a step up from the previous actor.

I enjoyed the first one as well.
I think Norton could pull off a great Banner as he has the "look" of the comics Banner.

Didn't he say something along the lines of, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..." in Fight Club? At any rate, his subtle threatening voice he used in that movie will make an awesome Bruce.

I like this change. I enjoyed HUlk 1 to a small point, but the cgi was totally awful, and way too fake.

If they had cgi like they had in king kong the movie would have been awesome.

This could be interesting.

Looks like we have a new Betty Ross, as played by Liv Tyler. Things continue to look up for the franchise.

I hate Liv Tyler. She can't act worth a damn, and--Although the CoM (Coalition of Men) might take away my manhood for this--She isn't even all that hot to me.

dammit. the first movie may not have been one of her best roles, but jennifer connelly is still an infinitely better actress than liv tyler. not that that's any major feat, as just about anyone can outact liv tyler, but connelly actually has quite a bit of talent (ie requiem for a dream).
