After Bruce Banner/The Hulk was already played by two different actors within five years of eachother, it’s safe to say that people were skeptical when Mark Ruffalo was announced as the third actor to play the character in Marvel Studios’ THE AVENGERS.
Bruce Banner was previously played by Eric Bana in 2003’s HULK and Edward Norton in 2008’s THE INCREDIBLE HULK, and although I think that both films are ludicrously underrated Mark Ruffalo most certainly won the audience over in THE AVENGERS. After his terrific performance his interpretation of the character is widely regarded as the best by fans and critics alike. Ruffalo also made a memorable cameo in the post-credits sequence of this years IRON MAN 3 making him the only actor to play Banner on film more than once.
Now everyone is wondering where Joss Whedon will take the character in his upcoming sequel AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. Well it appears as if Ruffalo knows exactly where as he posted on his Twitter that he has received his copy of the script for the film. Here is what he posted on Twitter yesterday:
Okay. Just got the New Avengers Script. And I am going to read it now. I hope Banner/Hulk are represented. @Marvel @josswhedon. Fingers X’d.
