In fact, he's down right nice about the whole thing. "I can’t wait to see it," Bana said of the new Incredible Hulk film. "I’m a big fan of Ed’s."
Given that his role as the Hulk ended, not with a bang, but with a whimper, you’d forgive Eric Bana for being green with envy over the fact that the iconic character has been taken over by a different actor, especially since it was the role that was supposed to shoot him into superstardom... But no.
In particular (and somewhat weirdly perhaps), Bana’s especially excited about Norton, the actor they got to replace him, he enthused.
“I’m a big fan of Ed’s. I was really thrilled that someone of Ed’s caliber stepped up to play [Hulk] in the sequel,” he said. “It’s great. I’m sure his version will be incredible.”
What about you? Are you juiced for Norton’s “Hulk,” even though we haven’t seen so much as a teaser yet? And, now with the benefit of some perspective, what do you make of Bana’s version? Post your comments in our Hulk movies messageboards HERE.
