Edward Norton Might Not Return for "Incredible Hulk 2"

Posted: November 22nd, 2008 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Edward Norton Might Not Return for Incredible Hulk 2Submit Comment
MTV News caught up with Tim Blake Nelson to ask if he would return for the rumored "Incredible Hulk" sequel to play the villain The Leader. Nelson revealed that he would be interested in coming back, but he is not sure about Edward Norton.

"We [Blake and Norton] talked about [Hulk] a little bit, yeah; we made some jokes about it," Nelson remembered. "It's all good, and I really do hope [the sequel] happens, for all sorts of reasons. But yeah, we did, we had a great time on 'Hulk' together. I'm eager to do 'Hulk 2' if they make it."

The more interviews are done with Norton, the more it seems that he would not be interested in returning for the sequel or for "The Avengers." But that won't stop Blake from coming back for "Hulk 2," even if Norton gets replaced.

"Well, I'm signed on to do 'Hulk 2' and '3' whether Edward's there or not, so it's not even up to me," he explained. "When I agreed to do 'Hulk,' I signed off for two sequels, so it's a moot question. I certainly hope Edward is on the sequel — but that's up to Marvel and Edward."

Does anyone want to see Edward Norton replaced?

Norton did a good job, I hope his issues with the studio are resolved by the time they want to make a sequil, or else that will be three Banners in three movies. This isn't Broadway, we fans like consistancy in the character, especially if they did a great job like Edward Norton did.

Fuck off lol- The man can't say "YES I'M DOING IT" until the film actually gets a green light. It's called being responsible and not releasing a false statement on behalf of a studio that gives you a sh*tload of money for not talking out of your ass. He's not playing hard to get- meal ticket my ass.

Norton should have been allowed to make the movie he wrote. I know I was looking forward to it as he described it. Plus why not allow him to fail at what he write and not what the suits deem viable. Who is the artist in this equation. Make I have studio's ruining artistic vision. Anyhow I hope for their sake Norton returns and that they learned their lesson.

There was definitely some meat and potatoes missing from the Hulk- I understand why after Ang Lee's dullard- but seriously there was SOOOOO much non-stop action in this film we, as an audience, COULD have been given a moment to rest into the movie with some decent exposition scenes...but they were cut. Even the Fantastic 4 had a great directors cut that rounded out the film better than the theatrical version. So a hack like Tim Story gets his vision seen- but Norton cant? I dunno- I'm on the fence since I enjoyed the latest film.

NO, Norton's a great actor and I hate it when filmmakers replace actors in sequels (Terrence Howard: Iron man 2). They should do as much as they can to keep him on the francise.

No one and I mean no one pays him to NOT express his interest in returning for the sequels. It DOES appear he is NOT interested in returning. Having said all that is factual, I THINK Norton should do the movies if he likes bigger payouts than what he makes on films like Painted Veil and such. Hulk is big business, and a guy like him can't go wrong with the Hulk franchise, seeing as it is primo Marvel property. Not like the sequels will have all the poor quality of a Punisher flick. in short, Norton should return. He can use the mainstream exposure. It did wonders for Bale and Downey.

Ummm naw you're an idiot- YOu just don't give OFFICIAL STATEMENTS without being given OFFICIAL PERMISSION. He can't say "Yes I'm doing it"- until someone at the studio greenlights the film so he's ACTUALLY DOING IT. He and the studio would look really dumb if Norton said yes and they decided not to make Hulk 2. So WTF are you jabbering on about?

Yeah...he'd make a bunch of money IF he did it and it would be a great meal ticket...But there's a huge IF on this film. It's a very strong possibility that Hulk 2 won't be made at all. Let's wait for the studios to actually decide to make the movie before we think Norton is passing on it. He can't pass on a film that isn't being made. You have no point.
