Mark Ruffalo Talks About Motion Capturing For The Hulk

Guess we'll definitely be seeing some "Hulk Smash!" in the Avengers movie.

I'm still a little bummed that Ed Norton won't be reprising his role as the Hulk. Of course I'm willing to give Mark Ruffalo a chance and I'm going to trust that Marvel Entertainment knows what they are doing as far as casting. Ruffalo has done a variety of roles in the past so his interpretation should be interesting. Also, in the comics we've definitely seen different 'versions' of the Hulk so we shouldn't dwell on this too much.

 Ruffalo recently told NY Magazine's Vulture about how excited he was to be playing the Hulk. 

"I'm really excited. No one's ever played the Hulk exactly, they've always done CGI. They're going to do the Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture. So I'll actually play the Hulk. That'll be fun."  

It's good to hear that Ruffalo himself will be doing the motion capturing. Perhaps I'm a little unclear by what he meant that no one's ever played the Hulk. They did use motion capturing for the last movie, only it wasn't Norton that did it in one of those funny suits. To get an idea of what this entails, check out this clip Universal sent us back in October 2008.
