Re-Evaluating Incredible Hulk with All Things Considered

from Breakdowns & Blockbusters Hosted by Breakdowns & Blockbusters

Why Marvel fired Edward Norton from The Incredible Hulk (2008) is one of the most chaotic behind-the-scenes stories in MCU history. The Incredible Hulk was meant to build on the success of Iron Man and help launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe—but instead, it became a full-blown power struggle at Marvel Studios. In this episode of All Things Considered, we break down why Edward Norton was fired from The Incredible Hulk, how Edward Norton rewrote the script, clashed with Kevin Feige and Zak Penn, and threatened not to promote the film after Marvel cut 70 minutes of his version. From a bitter writing credit dispute to a chaotic editing room war and one of the most infamous production battles in Marvel history, this is the real story behind The Incredible Hulk (2008)—and how it all led to Norton being replaced by Mark Ruffalo. We break down how The Incredible Hulk truly scores, with All Things Considered.
