"Incredible Hulk": actors. Edward Norton

Edward Norton is considered an "elite" actor. He was nominated for Oscar three times, carefully chooses roles and films and does not agree to play in "nonsense," even if millions are offered for it.

Breakthrough in the career of Norton was a role in the cult film of David Fincher "Fight Club". Then there were such bright pictures as "Medvezhnik", "Frida", "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Illusionist". In 2008 he agreed to shoot in the film "The Incredible Hulk".

Actors usually stick to their roles, and, it would seem, why should Norton be the role of a fantastic green character? But the "Incredible Hulk" is endowed with a psychological component more than, for example, the same "Avengers". The script spelled out more nuances related to the hero's inner world, and fewer "battle" scenes. So it's not strange that Norton agreed to the film. But the actor withdrew in other franchise films.

Liv Tyler

In the film "The Incredible Hulk", whose actors are known all over the world, starring also starred as Hollywood star Liv Tyler.

Liv Tyler is known to moviegoers for the films "Armageddon" and "Lord of the Rings". In "The Incredible Hulk" Liv got the role of Betty Ross - beloved scientist Bruce Banner performed by Edward Norton.

The heroine Tyler throughout the film tries to help Bruce recover from his mutation. She tries to protect Banner from the attacks of her father (General Ross) and is ready to take the other side of his personality - the terrible and ferocious Hulk.

When Blonsky goes on the track of Banner, he learns a military secret - about the existence of the Hulk. Blonsky is hurt by the fact that he can not cope with some kind of green monster, so he voluntarily agrees to secret injections that can make him invulnerable. However, all ends with the fact that Blonsky turns into "Abomination" - a more terrible and bloodthirsty creature than the Hulk.

General Ross

Thaddeus Ross is a general and chief of a special detachment, who is called upon to hunt the Hulk. Ross is blinded by his hatred of Bruce Banner and tries to "persecute" him in every possible way. He even decides to inject into the bone marrow of Blonsky, not knowing how this will lead to consequences. It is because of the heartlessness that the old warrior often shows, he has not spoken to his daughter for a long time - Betty Ross.

Ultimately, when Bruce Benner and Betty Ross reach the laboratory of the scientist Sterns, they manage to set up an experiment and introduce the therapeutic serum to Hulk. Unfortunately, this serum has only a short-term effect. But Dr. Sterns deftly turns Emil Blonsky into an Abomination.
