Over the weekend at Comic-Con, Marvel announced the all-star cast for its upcoming superhero movie, The Avengers, and they have confirmed that Mark Ruffalo will play the Hulk.

Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner, Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans are in the film as well, but there was an awkward moment when a fan yelled out "Edward Norton!" to Marvel Studios production head Kevin Feige. “He’s not here today, “ Feige responded. "We love consistency, we love continuity, I think (Norton) said it best, ‘The Hulk is bigger than all of us."

When Robert Downey Jr. took the mic, he asked the frenzied crowd if they had seen Inception. “That was the most ambitious movie I’ve ever seen,” he said. “Then I thought: Wait a Goddamned minute. Marvel is going to take all of their top superheroes and put them together in one movie. THAT is the most ambitious movie ever.”
