With Marvel Studios already prepping 2012's Avengers movie, fans have been wondering whether Ed Norton's Bruce Banner would be one of the heroes joining forces to fight evil. When asked at a recent press conference, Norton offered no help whatsoever. More »

It's official: there's no director's cut of The Incredible Hulk coming to DVD, at least not any time soon. Even though star and scriptwriter Ed Norton complained bitterly about all the vital material that was cut from the film, we're not getting to see the version he wanted us to watch. (Instead, there'll be 14 minutes of deleted scenes on the regular DVD, half an hour on the special edition, and 43 minutes on the Blu-Ray.) But just what was in Norton's Hulk-sized version that didn't make it into the theatrical release? We read Norton's script and found out. More »

Apparently, the Hulk can't help but get smashed at the box office, according to a recent Reuters story. Five years after Ang Lee's psychoanalytic take on the Jade Giant, Ed Norton's remake of The Incredible Hulk is set to be just as (un)successful as its predecessor, dooming the character to guest-spots in the Avengers movie.

A new Incredible Hulk trailer slowly plays the Hulk goodbye song from the 1970s series, "The Lonely Man," while voice-overing Bruce Banner's sad story. This special trailer is one of the first times we get to see much, if not any, insight into the life of this Banner. Thanks to Edward Norton's refusal to do any press, we'd almost forgotten he was in the movie. More »

If you were like me, and hated Ang Lee's take on The Incredible Hulk with the burning hatred of a thousand radioactive test-sites, you'd be thrilled to attend the New York Comic Con's Hulk event because it promised something completely different. If you were like me, your brain would have exploded at the results. Along with screening never-before-seen footage and a new trailer, director Louis Leterrier, Ur-villain Tim Roth, and a sometimes surprising panel were game to answer fans' most pressing questions. Want to know how The Hulk's love interest first sees him transform, why the Abomination's the villain, if we'll hear "Hulk smash!," or how director Louis Leterrier felt about working with absent star Ed Norton?

Creative infighting between Edward Norton and Marvel, and weak buzz about the first trailer, have many observers predicting the Incredible Hulk will be the summer's biggest bomb. Even Stan Lee, the Hulk's co-creator, doesn't think it'll do as well as Iron Man, which has supreme buzz and fans drooling over every clip. More »

Sure, we're won't like him when he's angry, but just what is Bruce Banner angry about? According to rumors, it may be an argument over who gets the final cut of the new Incredible Hulk movie that's getting Ed Norton, the new Banner, all hot under the collar and tearing up his purple pants. The feud may even prevent the movie from making its planned June release date. Find out more under the jump. More »

The first teaser trailer for the Incredible Hulk movie comes out Wednesday night, and here's a 15-second sneak peek. It's brief, but it does show a brief bit of HULK SMASH! goodness, and Norton comes within a hair's breadth of saying "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Check back late on Wednesday for the actual trailer. [Slashfilm] More »

Check out this newly-released photo of Ed Norton beginning to Hulk out! Based on what we've seen of this movie, it looks a lot closer to the way Bill Bixby became the Hulk than we would have thought. Hopefully the next picture will feature those creepy green contact lenses. Click through for a bigger image, plus special bonus pics of William Hurt as General Ross, and new pics of Wolverine from his solo movie. More »

Despite the attempts at super top-secret security on movie sets these days (which apparently means drawing as much attention to yourself as possible and then denying everything later) news has leaked out that the Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk crews are teaming up to film a scene together. Versions of that scene will appear in both movies, but the really exciting part is which kickass actor will be in both scenes. More »

Ed Norton wears a red hoodie in these new pictures from the set of The Incredible Hulk in Rio De Janeiro. While we haven't seen the big green machine much from this film, it's an interesting twist on the red hulk / green hulk ploy from Marvel. More »
