Mark Ruffalo Close To Becoming The Hulk
With Edward Norton officially out as The Hulk in Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers movie, rumors have been swirling about his replacement. The latest, according to Deadline, is that Mark Ruffalo is in “late-stage talks” to become Marvel’s new mean green machine.
Losing an actor of Norton’s caliber is a blow, but if they can land Ruffalo, I’d call that a major coup. Dude has been killin’ it for years in flicks like You Can Count on Me, Zodiac and The Kids Are All Right. He’d probably come at a cheaper price than Norton too, not that money is an issue. Wait, it’s Hollywood — money is ALWAYS an issue.
Ruffalo’s soft-spoken style seems like an ideal fit for the mild-mannered Bruce Banner. However, don’t get too excited just yet. Deadline has a pretty good track record, but nothing has been confirmed by the powers that be. For now, we’ll have to keep our fingers crossed the negotiations are legit.
