Mark Ruffalo has signed on to portray the Hulk in six films following the impressive debut of blockbuster superhero tale Avengers Assemble.
Ruffalo's turn as Bruce Banner and his angry green alter-ego has been widely praised. Avengers Assemble (titled The Avengers outside the UK) is on course to be one of the year's biggest films and has received strong reviews. Joss Whedon's film opens in the US this weekend after debuting in the UK and elsewhere last month.
"The experience was great," Ruffalo told the Collider site during a video interview in which he revealed his six-film deal. "I really had a good time. It was fun, and I love that group of people." Marvel studios supremo Kevin Feige said last month that a new solo Hulk film was being considered. "When it'll be, who knows," he said. "But the conversation's definitely started." Ruffalo said at the same event in London that he planned to "try and get Joss Whedon in a room and work out what could be a Hulk movie, with Kevin's blessing of course".
There have been two recent Hulk films, both considered underwhelming, though Ang Lee's 2003 film Hulk has its advocates. Australian Eric Bana played Banner in that movie, while Edward Norton took on the role for 2008's The Incredible Hulk, which was directed by Frenchman Louis Leterrier.
Ruffalo had the advantage, for the first time, of playing the Hulk via motion capture in Avengers Assemble. The film also features Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans), all of whom first appeared in their own solo movies.

I went in love Steve and Tony most, I came out loving Bruce and Natasha. Yeah.
(thank you,
he would be perfect in a hulk/avengers film - he could even join s.h.i.e.l.d
an asian female lead. no. i can't believe it.
Also i've read before that Marvel is interested in making female leads, i didn't bookmark the link but if i am not mistaken it was somewhere around Captain America and Thor.
Actually, it's a pet project of the people in charge at Marvel, so it's gonna get done eventually, but it got pushed aside for the Avengers. Ofc. But now that they've established Cap, Iron Man, and the Hulk, they can use them as cameos in the Runaways movie.
yes
i'm like holy shit i bitch about twil/thg doing the four movie split but six that's beyond excessive
apparently it's just cameos? what films tho.
HELLO I HAVE NO NEED FOR CHRISTMAS NOW THANK YOU RUFFALO
but nhf a solo hulk movie. he should totally join rdj in the new iron man movie tbh. their interviews were amazing and their scenes look funny in the trailer
