     The new Banner?
     The new Banner?
    Like most people, I wasn't that surprised when I heard that Edward Norton wouldn't be reprising the role of Bruce Banner in the coming "Avengers" movie. Every report on "The Incredible Hulk" mentioned him as being a bit of a control freak--rewriting the script and such--which certainly wouldn't sit well in a film where his character's screen-time will undoubtedly be minor. I was, however, shocked at the news that Mark Ruffalo will be taking over the role. Not that I think he's a bad actor or anything, because I don't, but because he's just not... Bruce-like.

    Everyone knows Bruce Banner is a scrawny, nerdy scientist. That's the whole point--to contrast the Hulk's size and strength. Ed Norton certainly had the physique for the role, but I don't think he really pulled off the nerdy aspect. Mark Ruffalo on the other hand, looks like he could play a nerd... but he's not at all scrawny! Now I'm not going to play Casting Director and go into who I think should play the role, because, to be honest, I haven't even thought about it, but surely there are others out there who would suit the role more so than him.

    How are they gonna explain him becoming shorter, and tanner? 
    Who I think should have been cast is: David Tennant or Sharlto Copley.
    If you don't know who Sharlto is, he's the lead in District 9.

    @Mr.Hulk_Smashin'!: I think you're spot-on with that Copley guy. He looks much closer to the Banner I know.

    As pissed as I was about hearing that Norton wasn't gonna be Hulk anymore, I actually like this choice. He's a good actor and I can see him as Banner. I'd still rather have Norton but Ruffalo will do.
