Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in "Iron Man," "The Incredible Hulk," "Iron Man 2," "Thor," and "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel’s The Avengers" is the super hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.


Mark Ruffalo, who is playing Bruce Banner/The Hulk, on Marvel's The Avengers has talked a little bit about replacing Edward Norton, who played the character on The Incredible Hulk:

Norton and I are friends, and he was like, 'You've gotta do it, buddy.' He basically bequeathed it to me. It was very cool and very generous of him.


The cast has Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson and Tom Hiddleston and it is coming on May 4th, 2012 in the US!

I haven't seen Ruffalo in many movies so I hope he's good.

He'll be good, and I know people say this all the time, but I LOVED Norton in the role. I'm not stubborn enough to hold it against Ruffalo's performance, especially because I haven't even seen it yet, but a cast change really goes against everything the Avengers is about: Bringing people from the previous movies together. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE AS SINGLE CBM FRANCHISE WITHOUT A RECAST OF A MAJOR ROLE???!!?? It'll be fine, it just kind of gets to me. So psyched for this tho.

I'm just glad that he and Edward are good friends. Edward's encouragement toward Mark is great.

@theboywonder: I feel you, man.

@BmanHall it might be because he underwent brain surgery and had partial facial paralysis. Either that or he's a terrible actor. One or the other.

I wish Ruffalo had been in TIH (although I can't imagine him running through Favela roof tops!). He deserves his own Hulk movie (Avengers success permitting of course).
