Former Incredible Hulk Actor Edward Norton Shades Marvel In Resurfaced Video

Edward Norton slammed Marvel over the script for The Incredible Hulk in a video that has begun to recirculate online.

During his appearance at the Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis, Edward Norton called out Marvel and took a shot at the studio. The actor said that he “wanted a better script.” Despite reaching an agreement with Marvel to rewrite the script penned by Zak Penn, the studio ultimately removed most of the scenes Edward Norton fought for during the editing process. After going head-to-head with the producers over script and editing changes, Edward Norton was replaced as the Hulk by Mark Ruffalo for future installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And it seems that even after a decade, Edward Norton is still not over his falling out with Marvel.

When Edward Norton took the stage at the Comedy Central Roast of Bruce Willis, the actor told Bruce Willis:

“I tried to be like you. I did a big action movie called The Incredible Hulk. You know what went wrong? I wanted a better script…I thought we should make one Marvel movie as good as the worst Christopher Nolan movie, but what the hell was I thinking.”

Although Edward Norton was replaced by Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, and despite the character not having his own solo outing since 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, the Marvel superhero has grown to have a key role in the MCU, reaching his full potential as Smart Hulk and helping the Avengers undo Thanos’ decimation in this year’s Avengers: Endgame.

Here is the official synopsis for Avengers: Endgame:

The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, “Avengers: Endgame.”

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Avengers: Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Benedict Wong, Jon Favreau, Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Josh Brolin.

Avengers: Endgame is now available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
