desconocido quiere decir alguien que labure por dos pesos... que es un peso y medio mas de lo que merece ese...

WILL THE NEW HULK RISE LIKE A PHOENIX?
By Devin Faraci Published Today News

It broke Friday that Marvel was officially parting ways with Ed Norton. No more would the prickly, difficult actor be playing the role of Bruce Banner in any future Marvel film, including The Avengers. Over the weekend the war of words escalated, with Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige issuing some choice statements about the actor, and his agent rebutting (head to HitFix for all the details on that battle). So there won't be an Ed Norton in The Avengers, but who could be joining the team?

Reliable sources tell me that Marvel has already put out an offer, and the actor they've spoken to is Joaquin Phoenix, believe it or not. Phoenix is taking time to mull over the offer and the bigger implications - Marvel may yet resurrect the Hulk franchise - but Marvel hopes to have him in place by Comic Con, which is when they want to announce their new Bruce Banner.

As of right now treat this as a rumor, as I was unable to get solid confirmations or denials (it's the weekend!). Phoenix might very well turn the studio down - I'm hearing that whoever plays Banner will be the lowest man on The Avengers pay totem pole - but this would probably be a good move for the actor. Phoenix needs to come back from the wilderness, where he has firmly planted himself since he made a weird, probably put-on documentary with Casey Affleck. Over the last year or so Phoenix has seemingly melted down, becoming a terrible rapper, an inveterate drug abuser and a complete train wreck, leading up to his supposed retirement from Hollywood. That may have all been for the documentary (which has been screening for potential buyers), so getting back in the saddle immediately, now that the doc is done and on the market, makes sense for him.

But does he make sense for Marvel? If Feige is moving past Ed Norton because he's tough to work with, will he have better luck with Phoenix? This isn't the first time Marvel has had this problem - part of the reason why Terrence Howard didn't come back for Iron Man 2 is because he wasn't the most pleasant dude in the cast. And Iron Man 2 itself had some legendary on-set moments with Mickey Rourke that will one day be incredible book fodder. But that's what happens in a company that lives in a post-Robert Downey Jr moment, where they think they can tame the wildest horse.

If Phoenix doesn't take the part, Marvel will quickly go to someone else. The reason why they haven't officially announced Joss Whedon for The Avengers is probably because it's going to be a big part of their presentation at Comic Con, and they're going to want to present the full team if at all possible.

Con propositos historicos, el HulkGate paso a paso

Round 1: Kevin Feige, presidente de Marvel Studios

We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in the Avengers. Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H, Chris E, Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks.

Round 2: Los representantes de Norton

This offensive statement from Kevin Feige at Marvel is a purposefully misleading, inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light. Here are the facts: two months ago, Kevin called me and said he wanted Edward to reprise the role of Bruce Banner in The Avengers. He told me it would be his fantasy to bring Edward on stage with the rest of the cast at Comic-Con and make it the event of the convention. When I said that Edward was definitely open to this idea, Kevin was very excited and we agreed that Edward should meet with Joss Whedon to discuss the project. Edward and Joss had a very good meeting (confirmed by Feige to me) at which Edward said he was enthusiastic at the prospect of being a part of the ensemble cast. Marvel subsequently made him a financial offer to be in the film and both sides started negotiating in good faith. This past Wednesday, after several weeks of civil, uncontentious discussions, but before we had come to terms on a deal, a representative from Marvel called to say they had decided to go in another direction with the part. This seemed to us to be a financial decision but, whatever the case, it is completely their prerogative, and we accepted their decision with no hard feelings.

We know a lot of fans have voiced their public disappointment with this result, but this is no excuse for Feige's mean spirited, accusatory comments. Counter to what Kevin implies here, Edward was looking forward to the opportunity to work with Joss and the other actors in the Avengers cast, many of whom are personal friends of his. Feige's statement is unprofessional, disingenuous and clearly defamatory. Mr. Norton talent, tireless work ethic and professional integrity deserve more respect, and so do Marvel's fans.

Round 3: Norton

As most of you know, I don't like to talk much about the business of making movies because it means a lot to me to protect the audience's fullest enjoyment of the 'magic' that films can have, but I am so appreciative of the outpouring of support from fans of the Hulk and the Avengers that I feel it would be rude not to respond. So here goes: It seems it won't work out for me to continue playing Bruce Banner for Marvel in 'The Avengers.' ... I know this is disappointing to many people and that makes me sad. But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extending the offer and even more so for giving me the chance to be part of the Hulk's long and excellent history. And I really can't thank the fans enough for how much enthusiasm you have sent my way about what Louis and I tried to do with our turn with the legend. It means a lot to me. I grew up with Banner and Hulk and have been a fan of every incarnation. I'm really proud, and very blessed., to have been one of them and will be thrilled to see him live on through other actors. Hulk is bigger than all of us, that's why we love him, right?

Sincerely

Edward Norton
