Hey guys, quick update on the “Who becomes the Hulk rumor mill”. Like I stated in the previous post, there’s been lots of great actors being considered for the part of Hulk in The Avengers. Well, apparently actor Mark Rufallo is leading all candidates. Might he get the gig, and be announced at Comic-Con? We’ll see…
Imagine the Hollywood actor whom you’d least expect to play The Incredible Hulk in The Avengers, and maybe, just maybe, you’d come up with the name of Mark Ruffalo. He’s always been an actor’s actor and is getting critical raves in Focus Features’ The Kids Are All Right which oepned last weekend. But I’ve learned that he’s now in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his brand-new agency United Talent to play this key member of The Avengers ensemble. Like Edward Norton, whom he’d be replacing, Ruffalo would bring real chops to the role.
Mark Ruffalo is a great actor. Very, very good. I personally think he’s one of the most underrated actors of our generation. If he’s chosen, I have no problem with this. In fact, I’m glad that he’s gonna be getting a role that lands him a big payday at last. So, I’m at ease with Marvel choosing him, Joaquin Phoenix or Adrien Brody to Hulk-it out.
What do you guys think?
