Norton's performance is his usual quality of work, and it certainly would've been interesting to see him perform alongside Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and the rest of Marvel Studios' heroes in The Avengers. However, that wasn't to be, as Norton was replaced by Ruffalo, reportedly due to claims that the former was hard to work with. Ruffalo has ...
Bruce Banner and Jennifer Walters aren't the only Hulks that have been featured in the MCU, as several other Hulk-related characters have made their way to the franchise over the years. In 2008's The Incredible Hulk, Tim Roth portrayed Emil Blonsky, a soldier who became the Abomination after combining a version of the super-soldier serum with Banne...
Marvel Studios hasn't yet confirmed whether Harrison Ford will actually be portraying the first live-action version of Marvel Comics' Red Hulk, but the actor's casting in Captain America: New World Order and Thunderbolts could tease the Red Hulk's MCU debut.
