I won't complain about that at all!

Edward Norton isn't coming back as Bruce Banner.

Super big drop in interest now. F*cking boo.

That article is ****ing insane, Kevin Feige is a huge prick.

Ed Norton wanted to give Banner depth, and was excited about the possibility for the idea of The Avengers since he filmed Incredible Hulk. Norton understood Banner, and the comics, and how to make a superhero film work, and to see him with Downey would have been awesome.

Changing the actor for a character 3 times in a decade worked out super-well by the end of the 90's Batman franchise, right?

Thinking about it, I wouldn't be so pissed if Feige wasn't so incredibly unprofessional about it.

Pretty much the only thing of interest to me was, "How cool it's going to be to see Ed Norton bouncing off of Robert Downey Jr., Sam Jackson, and company." And the promise of seeing that was practically packaged when The Incredible Hulk came out.

Now... it's not so? F this movie. Not seeing it.

I was wondering what you guys would think. God, I hope they can mend fences. I love Norton and he was a great Banner.

Not to disregard the enjoyment these big name celebs bring to these movies but this is why you shouldn't type cast a big name in a re-occurring hero/bad guy role...

Believe me I want to see Norton reprise the role but F'k it if Hollywood won't produce what the audience who has invested time and money into this wants...
