Norton is a big name to be taking over the role. His career has spanned indie films as well as mainstream hits, from "American History X" to "Keeping the Faith." His most famous role to date is probably from his intense character in "Fight Club."
Marvel Studios production president Kevin Feige said, "Edward Norton is a rare talent and one of the most versatile actors in the business. His ability to transform into a particular role makes him the ideal choice to take on the character of Bruce Banner and the Hulk. Edward is perfectly suited to bring one of the most popular and important Marvel icons to the bigscreen in a new and exciting way."
