The last shot of Edward Norton in Incredible Hulk (meditating & smiling, eyes going green) implied that he had gotten in control of the Hulk.

The Avengers movie could have a smart, in-control Banner Hulk as a revenge seeking baddie against Gen. Ross, Nick Fury, & SHIELD. Like Ross said, Banner never knew what he was working on was a new super soldier formula.

They wouldn't even have to have Norton in it as Banner would be the Hulk for the entire film, just a cameo at the end when they inevitably get him to change back.

i really enjoyed "The incredible Hulk" i think we can all agree it was better than "The hulk" id love the avengers film to feature the hulk in one form or another my only real problem is i hated how the handled the character in Ultimate Avengers.

The cast for the Avengers movie should be

Nick Fury (Sammy J)
Captain America (NA)
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr)
Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)
Thor (Chris Hemsworth)
Hulk (Ed Norton)
Spiderman (Tobey Maguire)

^ i know it dosnt really fit with any current know avengers list but imo it would offer the best cinematic experiance all the characters are currently know playing that part and it would be really nice to see how they interact.

almost forgot

Venom played by stan lee :p

I'll be very surprised if he comes back. There are plenty of ways around Hollywood contracts, and at the end of the day, no sane studio or director wants a high-cost, high-maintenance actor who doesn't want to be there.

Expect the role to be recast with an announcement that Norton can't make it because of scheduling conflicts.

I hope so. He did write a great Hulk movie. But the editing sucks.

I have to wonder if participation in an Avengers movie (or a sequel, or whatever) was part of the contract for Norton in the first place; it's not unusual for non-AAA/cover-of-People actors to get a "If you do THIS, you gotta do the sequels, too" clause; is Norton a big enough name to be able to get out of that these days? He wasn't back when he did _The Italian Job_ (if memory serves, he did that purely to satisfy contractual requirements) ... is he bigger these days? Dunno.

Who's up for a Loki controlled Hulk? Sounds like a threat too great for any single hero to me!

Maybe Loki even splits Banner and the Hulk so we can have a Banner who is happy at first, but then realizes that the Hulk and Banner are inseparable and ends up helping the avengers

Why retread old ground just to get the live action version?

You REALLY want The Batman the live action movie too?

@Certifiable:

Oh, forgive me for retreading old ground, because every Comic book movie has been completely original, with no inspiration from any past storyline in the source material.

I mean come on! Loki tricks heroes into fighting the Hulk, it's the first freaking Avengers story!
