Mark Ruffalo already landed the part of Bruce
Banner/The Hulk in Marvel Studios upcoming The Avengers. What we
didn’t know is that he’ll actually do motion capture similar to Avatars for the Green Guy.
“I’m
really excited. No one’s ever played the Hulk exactly, they’ve always done
CGI... They’re going to do the Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture. So I’ll
actually play the Hulk. That’ll be fun.”
Ruffalo added that he’s going more for Bill Bixby’s
Banner: “I really love the first TV version of it, the Bill Bixby one... I’m
gonna shoot for that a little bit. He was an everyman in it. He’s always on the
run and trying to find love. It’s really a sympathetic character, before he
turns into the Hulk and f*cks everything up.”
The Avengers
is scheduled for a May 4, 2012 release.
