Mark Ruffalo talks about Hulk for the first time

When Mark Ruffalo joined the rest of the Avengers cast at Comic-Con the ink was still literally wet on his movie contract. Reportedly Ruffalo was understandably nervous when he was first revealed at the panel, obviously in part due to the Edward Norton fiasco that happened a week prior. Well, apparently Ruffalo has Ed’s blessing, check out his statement below.  

“He’s a guy struggling with two sides of himself — the dark and the light — and everything he does in his life is filtered through issues of control. I grew up on the Bill Bixby TV series, which I thought was a really nuanced and real human way to look at The Hulk. I like that the part has those qualities.

I’m a friend of Ed’s, and yeah, that wasn’t a great way for all that to go down. But the way I see it is that Ed has bequeathed this part to me. I look at it as my generation’s Hamlet.”
