Mark Ruffalo To Change Into The Hulk For Avengers Film Imagine the Hollywood actor whom you'd least expect to play The Incredible Hulk in The Avengers , and maybe, just maybe, you'd come up with the name of Mark Ruffalo . He's always been an actor's actor and is getting critical raves in Focus Features' The Kids Are All Right which opened last weekend. But I've learned that he's now in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his brand-new agency United Talent to play this key member of The Avengers ensemble. Like Edward Norton , whom he'd be replacing, Ruffalo would bring real chops to the role. But, unlike Edward Norton, he wouldn't an on-set asshole. Meanwhile, let me get out of the way that Thor (May 6, 2011) and Captain America (July 22, 2011) will be in 3D.
