Thats Right folks! A new Hulk! A better Hulk! A Hulk that will actually Hulk Smash!
Edward Norton has been set by Marvel Studios to play Bruce Banner in "The Incredible Hulk."
Norton takes over a role played in the Ang Lee-directed "Hulk" by Eric Bana. Though that film opened strongly, it didn't fare as well as other Marvel efforts, including "Spider-Man," "X-Men," "Fantastic Four" and, most recently, "Ghost Rider."
Marvel Studios, which has a $525 million credit facility obtained through Merrill Lynch, made "The Incredible Hulk" its second film under that arrangement, and seeks to make a sequel that is less self-serious and more in line with the comic series and TV show. Leterrier directed the action-filled "Transporter 2," and "Unleashed."
Thank the Comic Book Gods That Ang Lee's Butchery Will Be Fixed! All I can say about this is.... HULK SMASH!
