These Actors Are Notoriously Difficult To Work With
Edward Norton Meddled Too Much With The Incredible Hulk Script
In 2008, Edward Norton met with director Louis Leterrier to star in a reboot of Hulk. The actor agreed to the project on one condition: his suggestions for the screenplay would be used in the script. Norton proceeded to make a substantial rewrite of the script just a few weeks before shooting started, but it was far too late to change anything big. The director added Norton’s changes, but Marvel hated it, particularly the addition of more dialogue and character development, which Norton had inserted into the script. When the Hulk returned as part of The Avengers, Marvel replaced Norton with Mark Ruffalo.
