He is a cool actor, but I don't think he's bulky enough!

I've seen him in A.H. X, and yes, he was nice and big... but The Incredible Hulk character in the comic is at least twice bigger!

sorry but my reply to that would be how many more times can they do a bloody remake... The last one was dire....

i wasn't that impressed with the first hulk film and director ang lee. the fact they are making a sequel is somewhat of a joke, considering how mediocre the previous movie was. having said that though, if there had to be a sequel then it should still have eric bana in it. ed norton is a great actor, very underrated but his best performances have always come from low key or non hollywood films such as fight club and american x for example. the hulk film is not the type that suits him. for an actor of his calibre, it's very much big budget and mainstream and yet it's too much of a risk to take, it could even put a dent to his already impressive movie career. hopefully, this hasn't been made official and that norton will do the right thing and turn the role down

If no one has pointed this out - Ed is NOT the Hulk - he'd be Dr. Banner. The Hulk will probably be some CGI "actor".
Now, can Ed play Dr. Banner? A man constantly in fear of loosing control of his rage in fear of what he may become? Hell, yeah!
I believe that Edward Norton is one of the most under rated yet versital actors in Hollywood. Just look at his characters side by side in movies like:
The Illusionist
American History X
Fight Club
Red Dragon
25th Hour
Death to Smoochie
Rounders
Everyone Says I Love You
Primal Fear
Each character is unique in it's own way - the only thing Ed fails to do is transform himslef so much you actually forget what he looks like from role to role (something Gary Oldman has mastered) but you otherwise forget his comedic works or his wimpier characters when we see him in tough guy roles.
He's an actor first - a celebrity second.
Will Ed Norton pull it off? I say he can pull of any role he wants to do - the only REAL question is if the script and the director are going to be worth thier salt. Let's just pray Mark Steven Johson isn't involved in this on...

The 2003 action picture had Nick Nolte through fact the insane father. That grow to be fictitious and in basic terms created to save the lack of ability of life action picture. The 2008 action picture grow to be closer to the unique Hulk tale line. outcomes have been extra useful and production high quality grow to be impressive. there is not any assessment between those video clips. The 2003 version is on the comparable checklist with the affection Guru.

They use CGI for the Hulk actually - so he would only play the character before he changes into the green monster. I can't believe Ed Norton is doing it - he sucha great actor - he really shouldn't lower his standards to this - and the last Hulk film was such rubbish.

Have you ever seen American History X??? He was bulky enough in that movie....and totally yummy I might add! They will use computers for the hulk anyways but the I think he will do a good job for the role of Dr. Bruce Banner, especially if he bulks up again like he did in American History X.

Ed Norton is one of our better actors at this point. just take a look at his resume.
but i'd almost prefer that he not take the role because the better the actor, the more screen time Bruce Banner will get.
i personally would prefer a film where the Hulk got the majority of the screen time, not Banner (his human side).

he is a very good actor. I'm not surprised, he plays many different roles.
I was surprised when I saw Death to Smoochy after Fight Club.
He is so perky comparablely I wasn't sure it was him at first.
I don't think bulk has anything to do with it, it's all going to be special effects and makeup. Part of his role might even be to bulk up.
It's disgusting how actors do that stuff just for a movie, In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Benicio Del Toro gained a bunch of weight to be the "fat samoan"
and I'm sure its happened in a lot of other movies.
Thats pretty sick and probably unhealthy for the actor, even though they lose the weight after the film.

Personally i think he is a good actor but the role of Bruce Banner is not suited to him. Ive noticed that alot of users mention that he is not bulky enough. thats too bad because the role of Bruce Banner does not require muscle. the Hulk is entirely CG anyway (for those who paid attention in the first film).
personally i think they should have stuck to Eric Bana. But perahps he turned down the role for some reason.

if its gonna be much the same as the previous diabolical pile of crap that attempted to be a hulk movie then he should stay well away from it.But maybe the producers are thinkin that no matter how crap the film is then people will still want to see it because it has such a great actor in it!

Is this because Mr Bana doesn't want to sign up for the sequel.....? lol
Oh, and to all those people who don't think Ed Norton's big enough....there's this new invention doing the rounds in the film world....it's called "Special Effects"...ahem
