Marvel Studios has cast actor Edward Norton to star as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk , directed by Louis Leterrier and set for a June 13, 2008 launch.
Norton recently starred in the critically-acclaimed independent production The Painted Veil, and is probably best known to audiences for his roles in Fight Club and American History X . It was the actor’s ability to portray a wide array of characters that landed him the part, according to Marvel Studios production president Kevin Feige.
"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."
