Mark Ruffalo to “actually play the Hulk” in Marvel’s The Avengers
Quote:
The last two attempts to bring the might of the Hulk to the big screen have seen Eric Bana and Edward Norton morphed into CGI bastardisations of themselves, neither to hugely convincing effect.
That's led to some chatter about how Marvel intends to tackle things with the next actor to take on the role, which happens to be Mark Ruffalo. Ruffalo is portraying the big green guy in the forthcoming movie The Avengers, and he's been talking to Vulture about how his take is going to be slightly different.
He told the site that he's actually going to be playing the Hulk for real on the big screen. "I'm really excited. No one's ever played the Hulk exactly, they've always done CGI," he noted. And he continued, "They're going to do the Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture. So I'll actually play the Hulk. That'll be fun."
This does seem to be the most logical approach right now, short of giving Lou Ferrigno a call. You can read more over at Vulture.
