Mark Ruffalo possible replacement to Norton for Bruce Banner role

[MIB41]

You have GOT to be kidding me. This dude has been in so many chick flicks, I'm not going to believe him as Bruce Banner. Is he going to get jilted by some girl, while he's looking for a cure? Of course, my wife will love it. She's the one who planted me in front of those movies...

Mark Ruffalo to Play Hulk in The Avengers?

Dr Manhattan as Dr Banner, not a big stretch for me.

?? Watchu talkin' about Willis? Billy Crudup played Dr. Manhattan. Rufalo was in 13 going on 30, and a bunch of other things.

[MIB41]

Exactly. I was lost by the Watchmen reference as well. Look at Ruffalo's films. The guy is more like a soap star (for movie scripts) than he is for the hero genre.

Anybody will work for Banner. think of it this way, with the large cast, Downey Jr. and Jackson probably asking for more screen time/money than the others, and all the new heroes being launched (reportedly Pym and the misses, and Hawkeye), Banner will be lucky to get more than 5 minutes total screen time. Really, hes just there to turn green....after that its all Hulk.

Got my wires crossed, I really don't know the guys work obviously.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I know the name, but I can't think of anything this guy's been in.

Chris

He was just in Shutter Island. I see no reason he couldn't play Banner.

Here's his filmography...

One word Collateral he was brilliant in that

Does this mean Leaf Phoenix of Parenthood fame passed on the part?
WILL THE NEW HULK RISE LIKE A PHOENIX?

He's not really a high profile guy, but I don't hate him as a potential Banner.

I couldn't figure out Why I never heard of him before..., I guess this sums it up.

[Goblin19]

He's always really good. He's done more indies than mainstream.

[saildog]

He was once in a movie with Tobey Maguire that Ang Lee directed.
Ride with the Devil (1999/I)

(I know it has nothing to with anything, just an interesting Marvel Movie connection.)
