Edward Norton's Official Statement on Not Returning as Hulk« FirstShowing.net

Who would've thought that the big news of July, pre-Comic-Con, would be all about howEdward Nortonwas no longergoingto Comic-Con, replaced by an"unknown"in the role of theHulk. We've covered most of thebasic storyalready, but the man himself, Edward Norton, released an official statement today. It was forwarded to me by his rep so I can confirm that it's actually written by him and is his official word on the situation. It's a bit sad to read, but is a classy what to put an end to this crazy debacle. Sadly, it seems a few of youin the commentsdidn't exactly praise him, but I definitely enjoyed Norton'sHulkmore than Bana's.

This was originally posted on Norton's officialFacebook page. We still don't know who's going to be playing Bruce Banner / Hulk inThe Avengers(or anything else about the movie), but I'm afraid to find out anyway. It was confirmedover the weekendby Marvel Studios that they're looking at bringing on someone different to play Hulk inThe Avengersand beyond. This is just Norton's reply to that announcement that first hit last week, because, as you may have seen onSlashFilm, there's a bit of a yelling match going on with his agent. Marvel must really like replacing actors very easily. First it was Terrence Howard, now Norton.Who's next?
