Mark Ruffallo Wouldn't Have Done Avengers in the Past
What Downey Jr. has done and where the genre has gone convinced him
|
Mark Ruffalo told the Sunday Herald Sun (via What's Playing) that he wouldn't have done a movie like The Avengers in previous years. "I probably wouldn't have done this movie in the past. But because of what Robert [Downey Jr] had done and where that genre has gone since then, I did it." "I have never really been one to go for the cash. If my dad knew how much money I had turned in my lifetime he would kick me in the a—." Read more about: |
Norton is not gonna be in the film, deal with it. And it wasn't like it was only Marvel's fault, both parties are to blame here, he obviously wanted more money/control/screen time, whatever, and since he didn't get it, he bailed out, so it's not "Oh poor Ed Norton, he really wanted to be in this film but he didn't get to because of the evil company who didn't give in to his demands". If he did, he would be doing it, like Robert Downey Jr is doing it, like Sam Jackson is doing it, and everyone else who had the decency to sing up for the whole 9 picture deal from the start. Except Norton.
On the other hand the fact that Norton is less of a team player also worked because this is exactly what Banner/Hulk is. Ultimately a shame but it's happened this way so we have to deal with it. Though one last interesting factor does spring to mind and that is that Hulk, throughout his comic-history, has experienced more multiple personalities than probably any other hero (Grey Hulk, Smart Hulk, Mr. Fixit, Hulk Smash. It seems this is being replicated here outside the comic-books.
That said, who am I to judge why Ruffallo took this job? Do I want Norton back? Mostly, but such s life.
