From iwatchstuff, Never mind about Joaquin Phoenix possibly being cast as Edward Norton's replacement Hulk: we've got someone else. According to Deadline, Mark Ruffalo's the guy, and Marvel is in "late-stage talks" for him to take on the role of Bruce Banner. If signed, the Brothers Bloom star would join Eric Bana and Edward Norton on the ever-lengthening list of surprisingly respectable actors who have played the part--as well as joining Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Samuel L. Jackson when they make their little Avengers movie. The decision also proves Marvel's still got it when it comes to "Hah! Never saw that coming, did ya?" casting.

I just realized why I can't care about this acting choice -- the actor won't be involved being the actual Hulk at all. I mean, if Superman and Clark Kent were played by different actors, would you care who played Clark? If they said they were eschewing CG in favor of a big Hulk suit I'd be much more interested. Not happy, but interested.
