Edward Norton to play Bruce Banner in ‘Hulk’ sequel
Monday April 16, 2007, 5:02 am
Variety reports that Edward Norton has signed on to play Bruce Banner in the sequel to the 2003 Hulk film.
“Edward Norton is a rare talent and one of the most versatile actors
in the business,” Marvel Studios production president Kevin Feige said
in a statement. “His ability to transform into a particular role makes
him the ideal choice to take on the character of Bruce Banner and the
Hulk. Edward is perfectly suited to bring one of the most popular and
important Marvel icons to the bigscreen in a new and exciting way.”The Incredible Hulk will be directed by Louis Leterrier, whose previous work includes the two Transporter films. Norton, of course, has appeared in Fight Club, American History X, The Italian Job, Death to Smoochy and one of the best films of last year, The Illusionist. For his role in that film, Norton told the make-up artist he wanted “to look like Dr. Strange.”

BLACK CANARY SINGS SOLO IN JULY
The
Black Canary’s steady and continued rise to prominence in the DCU
Universe continues in July as she headlines a new four-issue limited
series, written by new DC exclusive writer Tony Bedard and artist Paulo
Sequeira. The series serves as a sort of companion to the Green Arrow: Year One limited series also premiering in July.Let’s let Tony Bedard explain…
“2007 is a banner year for Green Arrow and Black Canary, and while the Emerald Archer’s origins are explored in Green Arrow: Year One, a present-day turning point in the life of Dinah Lance drives the new Black Canary mini-series,” the writer told Newsarama..
“Dinah is torn between Ollie’s proposal and her new status as a
foster-mother. While training with Lady Shiva’s sensei in Southeast
Asia, Black Canary rescued a young girl named Sin who was being cruelly
groomed to take Lady Shiva’s place as a master assassin. Dinah resigned
from the Birds of Prey to give Sin a shot at a normal childhood. But
can she do so if she pursues her volatile relationship with Oliver
Queen? And when the League of Assassins hires a deadly Green Arrow
villain to retrieve the child, Black Canary faces the most unbearable
loss of her life.”
According
to Bedard, Black Canary is assuming a greater stature in the DCU than
ever before, and this is the story that cuts to the core of who she is
and sets the new direction of her life.“When [editor] Mike Carlin and I first discussed this, it began with a
general desire to give Black Canary a spotlight similar to the Year One
story planned for Green Arrow,” Bedard explained. “But the more we
talked it over, the more it became clear that Dinah had more immediate
issues to confront and explore. We could tell a story of her early
days, but there was a stronger, more compelling tale to be told in the
here and now. The result is a four-issue miniseries beautifully
illustrated by a true rising star named Paulo Sequeira. It’s my
favorite thing I’ve worked on in a couple of years and I’m immensely
proud of the results.”The first two issues of the four-issue series ship in July. Look for
more information on the series in the coming weeks here at Newsarama.
