Prior to running the New York City Marathon this weekend in support of the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, "Incredible Hulk" actor Edward Norton dropped by Splash Page HQ with one of the Maasai warriors who joined him on the run. While Norton had some lofty goals for the race—and the charity he's campaigning for—we had to slip in a question or two about another Norton project on our minds these days—namely, the future of the "Incredible Hulk" movie franchise.

"I will probably find out after you do," laughed Norton when we asked him if he'd heard anything new on the "Hulk" front. "Nothing new." Read more...

Last week, "Incredible Hulk" star Edward Norton told us why he likes the idea of Marvel's green-skinned behemoth being the destructive force that forces Iron Man, Captain America and Thor to team up in "The Avengers."

However, while we had Norton talking about superheroes, we had to ask him yet another burning question on the minds of comic book movie fans: Will he be the one playing Bruce Banner when "Avengers" (or "Iron Man 2" or any of the other Marvel movies) come around?

"It's purely a function of time," said Norton. "It's always about just working things out on the schedule." Read more...

Ever since the moment "The Avengers" movie became official, there's been speculation about what the plot will entail—specifically, what force could be so great that it would need the combined efforts of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the stars of the rest of Marvel's solo movies to share the spotlight. The most obvious answer has always been Hulk, the green-skinned behemoth that first forced the eclectic group of heroes to team up in the comic book world.

When MTV News caught up with Edward Norton, the actor who brought Hulk (or rather, his alter ego Bruce Banner) to the big screen in 2008's "Incredible Hulk," we asked whether he could see the character return to the screen for a brawl with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

"In the comics, there was always a tension between the rest of the superhero community and he was always this problem... They treated him as this problem," said Norton. Read more...

Among the multitude of rumors surrounding who is and isn't making an appearance in "Iron Man 2," there's been much discussion regarding a potential cameo for Marvel's green-skinned behemoth, The Hulk.

While in Toronto attending the International Film Festival, MTV News tracked down Edward Norton, the actor who most recently brought Hulk to the big screen in 2008's "Incredible Hulk." In town to promote his new film "Leaves of Grass" (which received rave reviews after its premiere at the festival), Norton addressed the rumors that his comic book alter ego will appear in "Iron Man 2."

"I heard that. I don't know where that's coming from," Norton told MTV News. "I am not in 'Iron Man 2' to my knowledge." Read more...

The future of the "Hulk" film franchise is uncertain, thanks to a poorly reviewed first movie and a moderately received reboot. But the final scene of "The Incredible Hulk" revealed a tie-in to the greater Marvel movieverse by way of a Robert Downey Jr cameo, which begs the question: just what is Marvel's plan for the Green Goliath?

As far as "Incredible Hulk" director Louis Leterrier is concerned, Bruce Banner could continue on the big screen, but likely not through his directorial vision. The filmmaker told Hero Complex that he's contracted for one more Marvel movie, but he'd rather tackle a different character than the Hulk. Read more...

Even if "Iron Man 2" was the centerpiece of Marvel Studios' Comic-Con lineup, there are eager eyes awaiting "The Avengers," the eventual superhero smash-up that would combine Tony Stark, Thor and Captain America in one mighty movie. But a fair question that hasn't been addressed in quite some time involves a decidedly less heroic Marvel creation -- and a significantly greener one, too.

Edward Norton, who starred as Bruce Banner in last summer's "Incredible Hulk," previously expressed skepticism on whether he'll appear as the Jade Giant in "The Avengers," but Sci Fi Wire reports that the actor is currently keeping tight-lipped about the feather in Marvel's cap.

"I probably won't comment on that just because [Marvel] keeps a pretty tight rein on what they are letting out," Norton told reporters. "I'll let them [address it]." Read more...

Fans of this past summer’s “The Incredible Hulk” had a smile put on their faces recently when producer Gale Anne Hurd revealed to MTV News that a proper sequel for the big green guy was very much in the works. As it turns out, they weren’t the only ones.

“I know Gale Ann was talking to you guys about that recently, and I liked hearing it,” beamed an enthusiastic Tim Blake Nelson when MTV spoke with him recently, telling us that he’s on board with Hurd’s plan to have him play the villainous Leader in the next film.

These days, the talented writer/director/actor is in a dark editing bay assembling “Leaves of Grass,” a quirky 2009 drama that features Edward Norton in a dual performance. Nelson told us that during the shooting of “Leaves,” he and Norton sometimes spoke about their recent blockbuster experience, but he still can’t say with confidence that Norton will return following his rumored falling-out with Marvel Studios.

As many of you know, the "Incredible Hulk" DVD hits stores this week featuring a deleted scene that shows a cool blink-and-you'll-miss-it Easter Egg: Captain America frozen in ice.

We just took a new interview live with producer Gale Anne Hurd in which she talks about the future of the character, "Hulk 2” vs. "Avengers," and who'll be battling the green guy in the next film. She also explained to us that she didn't get her signals crossed with "Incredible" filmmaker Louis Leterrier when she said Cap wasn't in the movie – because at the time, that was still true.

"No, he wasn't in the movie, and that's what people had asked me," she reasoned. "It was something that was thought of to be in the movie, but then the sequence wasn't completed, so it was completed for the DVD." Read more...

Earlier this year, "The Incredible Hulk" director Louis Leterrier got the ball rolling with the coolest comic idea since the pencil, telling MTV News that he thought his green hero would make a perfect villain — a conflicted behemoth out to fight each and every one of Marvel's greatest in "The Avengers." "Iron Man" scripters Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus (who are in talks to potentially write another Marvel franchise) told us recently that they couldn't agree more, saying they love nothing more than when "good guys have to fight each other."

If reporters can be allowed causes, then this has been mine — one I've championed in every discussion about the myriad possibilities for "Avengers."

"So YOU'RE the one," Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige laughed in a recent conversation to talk about "The Incredible Hulk" DVD (read our chat about Feige's thoughts on the success of the film, as well as why there isn't yet a "Hulk 2" here.) Read more...

"The Incredible Hulk" hits DVD (and Blu-ray) shelves tomorrow, and the long list of special features found on each version of the film is pretty impressive, to say the least. The 3-disc set of DVDs and 2-disc Blu-ray versions will contain more than two hours of extra footage, including a heap of behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Oh, and there's that Captain America cameo everyone's been talking about, too.

Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Marvel Studios have provided MTV with EXCLUSIVE clips from two of the "Incredible Hulk" featurettes, including the following look at "Becoming The Hulk" -- featuring a cameo by none other than TV's "Hulk," Lou Ferrigno:

After the jump, check out another EXCLUSIVE clip from "The Incredible Hulk" featurettes, titled "The Making of 'The Incredible Hulk.'" Read more...
