Marvel, bunch of ego driven assholes. They don’t care about their cast. All Marvel cares about is money. I don’t think any other actor to take over the Hulk role will be as successful. Ed helped make “The Incredible Hulk” movie get millions in box office.

Fuck MARVEL! Ed’s a great actor, he’ll have better film projects up ahead of him.

Maybe Ed will get on a superhero movie for DC Comics? Could Ed Norton get a role for Chris Nolan’s “Batman” and “Superman” flicks? That be sweet!

BREAKING NEWS: Ed Norton is no longer starring the Incredible Hulk ever again…

Leave a comment

Marvel Studios President, Kevin Fiege, announced that Ed Norton will not play The Incredible Hulk in the “Avengers” or any other type of Hulk movie ever again. Fiege claims that the reason they fired Ed Norton they needed an actor that has the creativity and the collaborative spirit of other cast members. They want a team player that is able to work with other cast members in the film. In other words to keep it simple, Marvel plans to go for a new direction for the Hulk character and they feel Ed no longer fits.

Ed Norton immediately fired back by having his attorney hit back at Marvel with an angry rant, Ed’s lawyer claims Ed was all up for the “Avengers” movie and it was something he was looking forward to.

I’m totally on Ed’s side. I thought Ed made a perfect Bruce Banner. Ed was like a young Billy Bixby. I thought Ed’s “Incredible Hulk” movie was fantastic. I LOVED IT!  It was definitely better than the Ang Lee/Eric Bana version.

Besides, Marvel movies suck anyway. Marvel only made like a few good superhero movies. Movies I liked that Marvel has done:  “The Punisher” (Thomas Jane version), “X-Men” (the first one only), “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” (it was actually a fun movie), but that’s about it.

Watch out Marvel, I smell a big lawsuit coming by Edward Norton!

Report: The Incredible Hulk does well in box office this week…

Leave a comment

“The Incredible Hulk” starring Edward Norton did a whopping $54.5 million on it’s opening weekend. It did not top Ang Lee’s version of “Hulk” but still the Ed Norton version did well.

The Associated Press Reports:

I plan to see it soon, it’s been getting positive reviews that this version is much better than the crap Ang Lee version.

Plus, the main reason why I want to see it is because my favorite actor Ed Norton is in it. It’s about time he’s got a huge role, it’s been a long time coming. That man has been an underrated actor for years and he’s been struggling, it’s about time he’s got the star power recognition he deserves! I love all of Ed Norton’s movies, yep, I’m a loyal fan of his work. “American History X” and “Fight Club” are two of his best films.
