The Incredible Hulk is a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk, set for release on June 13, 2008.[3] It is directed by Louis Leterrier and stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, William Hurt as her father General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Tim Roth as the villainous Emil Blonsky, known in the comics as the Abomination. The film follows Banner as he flees the pursuit of General Ross while attempting to find a cure to rid himself of the Hulk. When Blonsky personally volunteers to be injected with Banner's gamma formula to aid Ross in his capture, he becomes an even greater monster, and Banner must accept his inner beast to defeat Blonsky.

After the 2003 film Hulk, Marvel Studios reacquired the rights to the character, and writer Zak Penn began work on a reboot that would be much closer to the comics and the television series. Norton rewrote the script after he signed on to star, severing all ties to its predecessor by retelling the origin story in flashbacks and revelations. Filming of principal photography mostly took place in Toronto, Canada in 2007, and the film's crew went to great lengths to reduce the production's carbon emissions. Letterier's direction aimed to make the monsters look more realistic and frightening. He redesigned the Abomination, who in the comics is a reptilian KGB agent, into a mutant soldier with bony protrusions.

Cast

Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner / The Hulk: A genius scientist who, because of exposure to gamma radiation coupled with childhood trauma, transforms into the Hulk when stressed or enraged. Eric Bana turned down reprising the role, as he viewed the first film as a one-time opportunity.[7] Gale Ann Hurd recalled Norton's portrayals of duality in Primal Fear and Fight Club,[8] while Norton reminded Kevin Feige of Bill Bixby, who played Banner in the TV series.[9] Lou Ferrigno, who played the Hulk with Bixby, remarked Norton "has a similar physique [and a] similar personality".[10]

Norton was a Hulk fan, citing the first comic appearances, the Bixby TV show and Bruce Jones' run on the comic as his favorite depictions of the character.[11] He had expressed interest in the role for the first film.[12] He initially turned down the part for this film, recalling "there [was] the wince factor or the defensive part of you that recoils at what the bad version of what that would be," as he felt the previous film "strayed far afield from a story that was familiar to people, [...] which is a fugitive story". When he met Letterier and Marvel, however, he liked their vision, and believed they were looking to him to guide the project. Thus, Norton rewrote the script.[13] "Norton's script has given Bruce's story real gravitas," Letterier said. "Admittedly I'm not the most adult director, but just because we're making a superhero movie it doesn't have to just appeal to 13-year old boys. Ed and I both see superheroes as the new Greek gods."[2]

  • Lou Ferrigno voices the Hulk. He also has a cameo in the film as a security guard who is bribed by Banner with a slice of pizza.[14] Subsequently, Leterrier publicly offered him to voice the character at the 2008 New York Comic-Con.[1]

Liv Tyler as Betty Ross: Bruce's girlfriend, whom he is separated from due to his condition. Tyler replaced actress Jennifer Connelly, who portrayed Betty Ross in the 2003 film Hulk. Tyler was attracted to the love story in the script, and was a fan of the TV show, because of the "humanity and what [Banner] is going through".[11] Tyler and Norton spent hours discussing Bruce and Betty's life before he became the Hulk.[15] She said filming the part "was very physical, which was fun",[16] and compared her performance to "a deer caught in the headlights", because of Betty's shock as Bruce's unexpected return into her life.[15]

Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky: An aging soldier serving under General Ross in the United States Army Special Forces who becomes a monster while pursuing the Hulk. The character is known as the "Abomination" in the comics, but Zak Penn considered this name too silly, and he will only be referred to as Blonsky on screen.[17] Roth took the part to please his sons, who are both comic book superhero fans. As a teenager, Roth was a fan of the TV show, and he also found Leterrier's ideas "very dark and very interesting". Roth started watching the 2003 film to prepare for the part, but stopped as he did not want to be caught up in the controversy over its quality, and to compare himself to it.[18]

Leterrier is a fan of Roth's work, and felt "it's great watching a normal Cockney boy become a superhero!",[2] but Marvel and Norton were initially reluctant to cast him.[19] Before he was cast in Punisher: War Zone, Ray Stevenson was in discussions for the role.[20] Roth found it tough playing Blonsky: although he constantly chases Banner, Roth could not work out because he had to portray Blonsky's aging that foreshadows his desire to become the Abomination.[15] Cyril Raffaelli performed some of Roth's stunts.[8] Roth enjoyed the motion capture, which reminded him of fringe theater, and he hired his trainer from Planet of the Apes to aid him in portraying the monster's movement.[15]

William Hurt as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Betty's father, who has dedicated himself to capturing the Hulk. Letterier cast Hurt because "Ross is more physical, more explosive in this movie, and no actor goes from zero to 100 as well as William."[2] He compared Ross to Captain Ahab.[19] The Hulk is Hurt's favorite superhero, and his son is also a big fan of the character. Hurt found production very different from the typical "pure anxiety" of a studio movie, finding it more akin to an independent movie.[21] He described Ross as "humiliated by Hulk's conscience: he actually sees and recognizes that it's more developed than his own, even though he's a patriot and a warrior for his country. He's sacrificed [much] for that purpose, but at the expense at times of his humanity — which he occasionally recovers."[22] Sam Elliott, who played Ross in the first film, would have liked to reprise the role, noting it was odd seeing someone take his part, "but I'll be looking forward to seeing this one".[23]

Additional cast members include Tim Blake Nelson as the scientist Samuel Sterns,[24] and Ty Burrell as Banner's psychotherapist Dr. Leonard Samson.[19] Michael K. Williams appears as a soldier: Norton wrote the role for him because he is a fan of The Wire.[25]

Robert Downey, Jr. cameos as Tony Stark in a post-credits scene, after starring in Iron Man. He did it as a favor to Marvel Studios, which he acknowledged as a smart move, because when he was promoting his film he would also have to mention their other production.[26] Hulk co-creator Stan Lee makes an appearance in a scene which Kevin Feige claimed "the whole plot of the movie hinges on".[14]
