You might know him in such great films like Shutter Island or The Brothers Bloom. He workd with great actors like Adrien Brody, Leonardo Dicapro, and Tom Cruise. Let me introduce to you the new Bruce Banner, Mark Ruffalo. He will play the comic book character, Bruce Banner in the new Avenger Movie. He will be next to an all star cast of Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlet Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, and Robert Downey Jr. What can we expect from the Shutter Island costar? Mark has worked with so many great actors in his movie career over the years, I am excited to see what type of vibe he will bring to the table with this awesome cast. In Iron Man 2, we saw the great chemistry that Scarlet Johanson and Robert Downey Jr. Had. I am eager to see what type of chemistry he is going to have with his costars. Will it be Samuel L. Jackson or Rober Downey Jr. This will be a must see!
Mark will definitely have some big shoes to fill. When I say big, I am not saying "figuratively" speaking but "Literally" speaking. He will be following all time greats; Bill Bixby, Eric Bana, and Edward Norton. So what can we expect from Mark like we expected from the other great actors who don the Banner Character? Well.... we can expect Mark to be a believable Bruce Banner. Not only does he have to play Bruce Banner but he does have to use his movements in motion capture for the hulk. As far as we know, He will be the first actor to do this. He will probably do some talking for the hulk as well, but I don't think that is confirmed.
When I first heard the announcement of the actor to play the incredible hulk, I had my doubts. With movies like going on 30 and Just like Heaven, come on! What was in your coffee Joss Whedon? I needed to find out why was Mark Ruffalo the chosen one. So I did my homework, and I watched Mark's recent Movies. I watched Shutter Island. Mark played Chuck Aule/Dr. Sheehan. I don't want to give away any information to people who haven't watched shutter island, but he had me believing throughout the whole movie he played Teddy Daniel's partner. He was manipulating yet loyal to Teddy Daniel. The other movie that I watched with Mark was, The Brothers Bloom. Mark Ruffalo played Stephen, the perfect con man. You would think Stephen was invisible or a magician because when you thought things he did was real, it was just a con. The last scene of the movie was when Stephen was killed. Even though Stephen was killed legitimately, it was still the perfect con because everyone was involved. Like Shutter Island, no matter how manipulative his characters were he was always loyal to the people who followed him. I believe this is going to be his greatest trait while playing the role of Bruce Banner. Going forward, Mark Ruffalo you have my blessing the hulk in one of his biggest on screen movies.
