Edward Norton’s The Incredible Hulk was not as bad of a movie, nor was Norton a bad Hulk. In fact, many Marvel fans would love to have him as the Green Goliath instead of MCU’s Mark Ruffalo. Since the past decade, fans have been wanting to see more of the meaner and scarier Hulk instead of Ruffalo’s toned-down, friendlier version that we got in recent years.

So while fans might never get Edward Norton’s version of Hulk back, a notorious villain from the movie will be making his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Known as Mr Blue, Samuel Sterns will be the antagonist in Harrison Ford’s MCU debut film, Captain America: Brave New World.

Ang Lee's Hulk was released when the superhero movie genre was very much in its infancy. It joined a small club of early 2000s titles that includes Blade, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Daredevil, but the filmmaker's unique approach to adapting the Jade Giant for the screen split opinions.
Quite literally attempting to bring a comic book to life in a movie, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon director didn't lack ambition with his approach, but the technology wasn't really there to pull off either his vision for the character or those comic book panel-inspired screen splits.
A moderate hit at the box office with a $245 million haul, the movie remains a disappointment in the eyes of many, including Lee himself. Five years later, Marvel Studios released The Incredible Hulk, and retained elements of this Green Goliath's origin story (albeit with Edward Norton replacing Eric Bana).

New York — Linnea Norton spent Sunday at Columbia University jamming on the guitar with other students — a drummer and a cohort of harmonizing singers. They played Appalachian folk music and protest songs by Bob Dylan and John Lennon. The encampment smelled like sunscreen, and students kicked a soccer ball after a teach-in about imperialism. Some had brought their young children.
A Columbia Ph.D. student, Norton was one of the student activists who were arrested early on in the encampment. She remembered the vote that activists took as they decided...

We spoke to James Norton a few years ago about this film, just ahead of its release in the UK. With the film now coming out across the pond, we jumped at the chance of speaking to him again, as the film has stuck with us ever since we first saw it back in 2021.
Norton reflects back on a special project that means a lot to him, recounting experiences he has had along the way with audiences. He also looks ahead, as the star of Happy Valley talks about his own production company Rabbit Track Pictures, and what they have lined up.

Marvel’s The Hulk happens to be one of the most crucial and significant characters within the franchise and over the years, the character has played a major role in the narration of the story. The Strongest Avenger is always on the list for being the most powerful Avenger, as he has fought many compelling foes including his own Avenger team at one time or another.
Smart Hulk
The character has been smashing through the franchise and fans, but over the years the character has been portrayed by Mark Ruffalo but before him, Edward Norton played the role. However, the superhero franchise has made a mockery of the character. Naturally, the fans are divided as they debate over which actor played the role of Bruce Banner better, Norton or Ruffalo.

The World War Hulk project gets new updates every year despite Mark Ruffalo’s uncertainty about his return as the giant green monster. Now, a new rumor suggests that the upcoming movie will be developed as an Avengers installment.
Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers (2012)
Just like any other rumors about Marvel films, this should not be taken seriously until the studio makes an official announcement. The thing is, there have not been any formal reports about Ruffalo’s potential reprisal of Hulk.
Insider Reveals Crucial Information About World War Hulk
The reason why Hulk has always been paired with the Avengers and not given his own solo project since 2008 stems from a deal with Universal Pictures. The company owns the distribution rights to standalone Hulk movies.

With its second season now airing on Itvx in the UK, the creator and the producer behind Irish comedy-drama The Dry both sat down at Dublin’s Storyhouse festival to give attendees a masterclass in how they attempted to grab audiences in the first five minutes of Season One.
The series, which is written by Nancy Harris and produced by Element Pictures’ Emma Norton, follows Shiv Sheridan (Roisin Gallagher) as she returns to Dublin after years of partying in London. She tries to navigate a new phase of her life but trying to stay sober and being back with her family is not easy.
After showing the audience the first few minutes of the show, both Harris and Norton reflected on the craft of building a big opening scene that would keep the audience wanting more while also introducing the characters.

The Marvel Comics have a lot more than just a ton of superheroes, and each one of them is incredibly powerful with their own magnificent superpowers. While they all have their respective powers ranging from magic to super strength and a lot of others, some of them are also gifted with immortality. Like Hulk, for one. Or Wolverine. Or Thor.
The Marvel Comics Universe
But while these 3 are often regarded as some of the strongest deathless superheroes — with Point Break even considered to be the most powerful immortal after all the times he came out victorious despite facing the most brutal of villains — there is one other mutant who surpasses all of these characters’ undyingness: Mr. Immortal, aka Craig Hollis.
Craig Hollis’ Immortality Surpasses Every Other Character in the MCU
Created by John Byrne and renowned as Mister Immortal, Craig Hollis is one of the most powerful characters in the entire Marvel Comics universe.

The Crown’s swansong season has dominated the BAFTA TV nominations, picking up eight in a record year for Netflix.
Although it missed out in the coveted Drama Series category, four of the Netflix royal smash’s actors were handed nods today including Dominic West, who played Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki, who was Princess Diana. Salim Daw and Lesley Manville are the other two nominated actors and actresses, while The Crown also received nominations in the likes of costume design, make up and sound.
Netflix achieved a record haul and was second only to the BBC with nominations, comfortably eclipsing stalwarts ITV and Channel 4 as Top Boy and Black Mirror were also rewarded.
Although not its most critically-rated season, Peter Morgan’s royal saga ended late last year with a bang and plenty controversy, and the noms come amid the ongoing Kate Middleton saga.

CBS Studios and the BBC’s period drama series “King & Conqueror” has revealed additional cast members, including “The Crown’s” Luther Ford and “Game of Thrones” actor Joseph Mawle, as it begins production in Iceland.
According to its official plot description, “King & Conqueror” is “the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown.”
Additional cast members include Eddie Marsan, Juliet Stevenson, Jean-Marc Barr, Geoff Bell, Elliot Cowan,...

It ain’t easy being green in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with it being no secret that Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk is the black sheep of the Avengers family. Premiering in 2008 as the second MCU outing, it’s the only Phase One movie not to get a sequel.
We’ve come a long way from the early days of the Green Meanie, most notably as The Incredible Hulk was Edward Norton’s only time in the role before Mark Ruffalo took over for The Avengers. As things come full circle and we revisit some of these forgotten arcs, Leterrier has revealed his grand plans for a scrapped sequel.

In a candid interview with ComicBook.com, Leterrier has offered some insight into what he had planned, teasing an expanded family of Hulks long before Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk was on the scene. Confirming who would...
