Why did they change actors from the first Hulk movie to the second in the first place? And now they're changing again? Seems they're just indecisive.

They should just hire Ryan Reynolds to play Bruce Banner. He plays a role in every third comic-derived movie in the last several years anyway.

Eh. Norton was a good Banner, and he's a great actor, so losing him is a bit of a hit, but it could still happen. But do they really have the time to be recasting the role?

IT'S WORLD WAR HULK, GUYS! The rest of the Avengers are going to try and shoot Norton into space against his will now!

Norton was the best Banner in the movies. Eric Bana, while yes looked like some of the Comics artwork, was larger physically then any drawings I recall or in my collection of Hulk comics. I admit that I have a weak Collection of Hulk Comics, Hulk ranking up there with DC's Superman as lame since there is really no true Earthly threat to either of these heroes. But Norton not being Banner ranks up there with Disney Buying Marvel Studios.... Lame! Great now the mouse police will screw everything I love about Marvel! Norton not being in the movie is not my only *****. I hate that Chris Edwards is playing Cap. He's already Torch and Torch was in the Avengers briefly in the 70's. Though I will reserve my final comments on his portrayal or Cap till after I see "The First Avenger:Captain America".

I dislike this reusing actors for other characters in the SAME universe, so what they are saying to us is 1.) fantastic Four is over or B.) Avengers and FF will never have a crossover movie, while not entirely a bad thing it just chafes the cannon.

Deadpool is fun... not great but fun, I like him... I don't like Movie Deadpool, he's retarded and wtf is with the barracka knives in his arms I dont remember that in any of my comics? He likes his guns and swords, And for the pinheads that ***** that Deadpool got "killed" in the wolverine debacle... why are we bitching about a character that got mailed back to the King Pin during his first appearance in several Boxes? I think Ryan Reynolds did a fine job, wasn't his fault they changed the cannon on Deadpool. But I have to agree he's been in a bunch of Comic movies, at least him as Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green lantern movie is in a different studios universe. Hope that goes over well.

They... they didn't use... Edward Norton.

Possibly the finest actor of his generation...

Because of a salary.

Are they pants on head retarded??

Ugh, I for one am glad Norton's agent decided to issue a statement. Talk about unprofessional...

Real shame.

Oh, God... I just realised that there's been changes to Spider Man as well... Bleh...

here's hoping that Robert Downey Jr. isn't labelled as "too cocky" for the part next by the brain deads who dropped Norton.

Not cool, Marvel. Not cool.

Aquaman isn't in this, is he? :p
Touche' sir, though I would recomend watching Justice League and Justice League Unlimited where he is made much more awesome.
Oh I know, I was only joking. Most people think that all he can do is talk to fish and breathe underwater, without knowing that he also has some degree of super strength and resilience.
I never did get why people thought the talking to fish power is lame considering most of the planet is covered in water and he can control every creature in it. That and people evolved from fish, so he could probably mess with us on some level as well.
well we are related to fish but we "were" fish like a couple of hundreds of millions of years ago so i dont think it could have worked that way, but hey its a comic so really who knows.

If I wasn't so sure you all knew that those were DC heroes, and not Marvel, and would not be in the movie, I'd spaz :)

Here's my vote for worst Marvel character ever:

Howard the Duck... I apologize, that was uncalled for.

Anyway!
Oh well. I don't particularly care. After a certain best friend of a certain alcoholic, billionaire, play-boy magically changed his height, body build, skin tone, facial features, and voice I really don't care. I just hope they don't fuck this up. Captain America HAS to be good. Thor HAS to be good. Avengers HAS to be great.

Ryan Reynolds doesn't need to be in MORE movies right now. Let him finish up with Green Lantern and Deadpool first. Just let him focus on those.

EDIT: i almost accidentally triple posted...
Anyway, Apparently this was foreseen just a bit ahead of time.

I've heard that Norton is a real "hothead" on set, mostly due to script issues. From that I doubt his departure was financial.
Its true, even on his other movies like the Italian Job and American History X the directors complained that he nagged till he got more screentime. Obviously there was no way he could work in ensemble cast.

Dammit this sucks :(
If what the manager says is correct, he was glad to be on board.... but managers are kinda like lawyers... so I guess I won't ever find out what the hell happened.

And now the best Marvel Character ever:

The Best [http://marvel.com/universe/Squirrel_Girl] (Look at the stats)
How in the hell is she all 7's?

And we all know Deadpool is the best character to come out of Marvel. Breaking the 4th wall be damned, he was awesome before he even started doing that. Shame Wolverine: Origins screwed him up so bad, Reynolds did a fairly decent job before he was Dudepeel.

Well...I kind of figured that they wouldn't be able to pull it off. That many big name actors, that many heroes all in one movie...I figured something would snag down the line. It's one of those "dream team" things that usually get screwed up somewhere along the line. If they are to replace him, I'd like to see Eric Bana come back and play the part, as I always liked him better as Banner anyway.

If I'm at Comicon when they make this unveiling, Norton's usurper is getting a hot, greasy donut to the face.

I wonder if that bana guy will be the replacement. Heck he has most of the same letters in his last name as Bruce Banner!
