While promoting his Obama documentary at the TCA press tour yesterday, Edward Norton was asked whether his Hulk would factor into Marvel's impending superhero supergroup movie, The Avengers. "I probably won't comment on that just because they keep a pretty tight rein on what they are letting out," said the actor (who notoriously feuded with Marvel and refused to do much press after making The Incredible Hulk), adding "I'll let them [address it]."
Oh, but they have! At Comic-Con, Marvel's president of production, Kevin Feige, was asked about exactly that, and his caginess indicated that things haven't exactly been smoothed over with the actor.
First, Feige was thrown a softball: Will the Hulk be in The Avengers? "I think so," he said noncommittally. "In the comics, he has." That's an understatement, as the Hulk (alongside Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor) is regarded as a core member of the Marvel team.
Then, when asked whether Marvel's relations with Norton had improved to the point where he'd do the film, Feige admitted, "I don't know. You should ask him."
Now he has been, so...tag, you're it?
