The Incredible Hulk is a 2008 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character the Hulk. Produced by Marvel Studios and Valhalla Motion Pictures, and distributed by Universal Pictures,[a] it is the second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). It was directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Zak Penn, and stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner alongside Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Ty Burrell, and Christina Cabot. In the film, Banner becomes the monstrous Hulk as an unwitting pawn in a military scheme to reinvigorate the "super soldier" program through gamma radiation. He goes on the run from the military while attempting to cure himself of the Hulk.
Edward Norton as Bruce Banner:
A nuclear physicist and biochemist at Culver University who, because of exposure to gamma radiation, transforms into an enormous green humanoid monster when enraged or agitated. David Duchovny was a front-runner for the film before Norton's casting,[10] while director Louis Leterrier's original choice was Mark Ruffalo who would later play Banner in future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films.[11] Producer Gale Anne Hurd recalled the duality of Norton's performances in the films Primal Fear (1996) and Fight Club (1999),[12] while Norton reminded producer Kevin Feige of Bill Bixby, who played Banner in the 1978–1982 television series.[13] Lou Ferrigno, who played the Hulk in that series, said Norton "has a similar physique [and a] similar personality" to Bixby.[14] Norton was a Hulk fan, citing the early comic books, the Bixby series, and Bruce Jones's run on the comics as his favorite depictions of the character.[15] He had expressed interest in the role for the previous film, Hulk (2003),[16] and was initially relucatant to take on the part after that film had strayed from the fugitive story that he associated with the character. He was won over by the vision of Leterrier and Marvel Studios and believed they were looking to him to guide the project. Norton subsequently rewrote the script.[17] Leterrier praised Norton for bringing gravitas to the script, and said they were both approaching superheroes as "the new Greek gods".[18] Norton was particularly drawn to the Greek myth of Prometheus for the character.[19]: 108 [20]
Lou Ferrigno voices the Hulk.
Liv Tyler as Betty Ross
Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky / Abomination:
y be a soldier rather than a KGB agent as in the comics.[28] Leterrier was a fan of Roth's work and felt it was "great watching a normal Cockney boy become a superhero",[18] but Marvel and Norton were initially reluctant to cast him.[29] Before he was cast in the film Punisher: War Zone (2008), Ray SteveA Russian-born officer in the United Kingdom's Royal Marines Commandos who is loaned to General Ross. Lusting for the Hulk's power, Blonsky is injected with various serums that transform him into a near-skeletal humanoid monster as strong as the Hulk himself. Roth said he took the part to please his sons, who are comic-book superhero fans, and because he found Leterrier's ideas "very dark and very interesting". Roth was a fan of the Bixby series as a teenager. He started watching the 2003 film to prepare for the part, but stopped as he did not want to compare himself to it.[27] It was Roth who suggested Blonsknson was in discussions for the role.[30] Roth trained with gun and military experts in preparation for the role,[28] but did not work out due to Blonsky's aging. This made it difficult to film some stunts,[25] including being pulled by a harness to show Blonsky's enhanced 30–40 mile per hour running speed.[31] Cyril Raffaelli performed some of his stunts.[12] Roth enjoyed the motion capture for Abomination, which reminded him of fringe theatre. He worked with Terry Notary, his trainer from the film Planet of the Apes (2001), on the monster's movement.[25][19]: 103 Roth was signed on for three more films.[32]
