MCU: 12 Things You Learn Rewatching The Incredible Hulk

11. Edward Norton Was A Great Bruce Banner

Though Mark Ruffalo has made the Bruce Banner character very much his own over the last six years, revisiting Edward Norton's original MCU performance in the role highlights just how great he also would've been in future films.

Granted, Norton's difficult-to-work-with reputation is what reportedly cut his franchise tenure short, but it's nevertheless pretty easy to imagine how well he would've slotted into the Avengers movies and, of course, Thor: Ragnarok.

It's easy to dump on Norton because he only ever played Banner once in a so-so movie, but he takes the material seriously and commits to it as full-heartedly as he would any of his Oscar-nominated roles.
