bullet::::- mark ruffalo as bruce banner / hulk: a genius scientist who, because of exposure to gamma radiation, transforms into a monster when enraged or agitated. ruffalo, who was considered to play banner in "the incredible hulk" before edward norton took the role, was cast after negotiations between marvel and norton broke down. about replacing norton, ruffalo said, "i'm a friend of ed's, and yeah, that wasn't a great way for all that to go down. but the way i see it is that ed has bequeathed this part to me. i look at it as my generation's "hamlet"." about the character, he said, "he's a guy struggling with two sides of himself—the dark and the light—and everything he does in his life is filtered through issues of control. i grew up on the bill bixby tv series, which i thought was a really nuanced and real human way to look at the hulk. i like that the part has those qualities". regarding the hulk's place on the team, ruffalo said, "he's like the teammate none of them are sure they want on their team. he's a loose cannon. it's like, 'just throw a grenade in the middle of the group and let's hope it turns out well!" this is the first production in which the actor playing banner also plays the hulk. ruffalo told "new york" magazine, "i'm really excited. no one's ever played the hulk exactly; they've always done cgi. they're going to do the "avatar" stop-action, stop-motion capture. so i'll actually play the hulk. that'll be fun". the 3d model used to create the hulk's body was modeled after long island bodybuilder and male stripper steve romm, while the hulk's face was modeled after ruffalo. to create the hulk's voice, ruffalo's voice was blended with those of lou ferrigno and others; however, the hulk's only speaking line ("puny god.") was provided solely by ruffalo. ruffalo earned $2-3 million for the film.
