Edward Harrison Norton
Edward Harrison Norton (born August 18, 1969) is an American film actor, screenwriter and director. In 1996, his supporting role in the courtroom drama Primal Fear garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. A year later, his lead role as a reformed neo-Nazi skinhead in American History X earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Marvel Studios’ The Avengers is easily one of the most anticipated superhero movie releases of all time, with the studio laying groundwork for the major motion picture event in films like Iron Man, Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America. There was also a memorable cameo appearance by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark at the end of 2008′s The Incredible Hulk, but according to a new report, The Avengers will make one very significant departure from the Jade Giant’s most recent appearance — Edward Norton won’t be reprising his role as Bruce Banner, with the part going to an unknown actor.The lack of Norton in The Avengers is reportedly not because the actor doesn’t want to be a part of the film.according to DrewvMCWeeny at HitFix,Marvel will announce the full lineup of Avengers at Comic-Con in a couple of short weeks, with an unknown actor filling the role of Bruce Banner. McWeeny reports that Norton’s interest in The Avengers went so far as the actor taking a meeting with not-confirmed-but-come-on-really director Joss Whedon about the project. Although Norton wants to be a part of the film, McWeeny indicates that Marvel has moved on, presumably for financial reasons.
