Mark Ruffalo Talks THE AVENGERS 2; Debunks Rumours Of Cast Members Not Returning
Mark Ruffalo assures fans that he WILL indeed return as Bruce Banner/The Hulk for The Avengers 2 and shares his thoughts on that recent report that the actors who play Earth's Mightiest Heroes are butting heads with Marvel over how much they're paid. Check it out!
Last week, we told you about a report that indicated that the cast of The Avengers 2 were clashing with Marvel Studios about the paltry sum (by Hollywood's standards that is) they were being offered to reprise their roles in Joss Whedon's 2015 sequel. There was even talk of Chris Hemsworth threatening to not return for Thor: The Dark World! Well, in an interview with Moviefone, Mark Ruffalo had this to say about those rumours. "I haven't caught wind of any of that. I was surprised to hear it, because I don't even think anyone's really started negotiating yet. As far as I know [everyone is back]. But sometimes actors are the last people to know what's going on." As for whether he will return as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Ruffalo said he will, and assured worried fans that they shouldn't panic. Asked if he would still return if the other roles WERE recast, he added: "I think so. I'd be really sad if they did. I can't imagine that. That would be bad. "That would not be good," as Joss Whedon would say. I don't foresee not coming back as The Hulk." How do you guys feel about this news? Sound off with your thoughts below!
