Adrien Brody in the Running for "Hulk" Sequel?

joe fish

After thinking about it a while it doesn't seem like a bad choice. Like Scott said, he'd have to hit the gym, but as long as there's more than ten minutes of action in this one, unlike the last one, it should be entertaining.

Is it even possible to bulk Brody up? Some men just can't bulk up. But then again, this is a physically transforming superhero, not someone with the same physique while incognito. Like say Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne.

I'd rather see Eric Bana come back but given the dismal BO of the first film I don't see it happening

Yeah, I'm with insanemansam, I'd like to see Eric Bana come back.

I still don't think Brody would be a good choice, let Bana come back.

He wouldn't need to bulk up. Bruce Banner is supposed to be a scientist, not an athlete.

Brody is a good choice. He's a great character actor, which is exactly what we need. Especially now that this sequel is going to be a mindless smash fest, we're going to need the best actors to keep it interesting. Although I'd prefer to have Bana back for continuity's sake.

Simon Pegg as the Hulk.

Nick Frost as the Reporter.

Directed by Edgar Wright.

Yeah, Banner is supposed to be a puny, nerdy scientist. That's the whole point of the character-- he's NOT a physical, athletic male and he has to become the Hulk when he gets so frustrated at his inability to solve his problems. That's exactly why someone like Bana is dead wrong for the role. At least this gives me some confidence that the producers actually understand the character, and are looking to be more true to it this time around.

Did someone say puny and nerdy? This looks like a job for Superman ... No wait, I meant Nicholas Cage!

As long as he doesn't get pigeon holed back into his staring blankly into the camera role from "a thin red line" I think he'd be a good choice for puny banner. Pianist SMASH!!!!

Just bring Bana back. Geezus, the original wasn't that bad.

Katt was great in Dazed and Confused - he only came for two reasons -- and he is just about out of beer.

Brody might do better as a bad guy. He's not really done anything like that yet. I thought he would have been perfect for the Joker in the new Batman. I'd like to see Bana back in action with a slightly less arty director. If not, then I'm with CFM on this one, except Nick Frost as Banner and Pegg as Abomination.

i would actually like to see if Brody could pull it off. Him OR a Villian. Could be intersting.

Brody's schnoz is too big; there, I said it. You can call me a nose-bigot if you want.

Since Adrien Brody has no meat on his body... when he will transform into the hulk... he will simply look like a GREEN normal (--one that has some meat on his ass kinda--) human male.

Actually, Adrien Brody did muscle up for the King Kong role. He even had an impressive photo shoot for Men's Fitness that showed off the new body. Granted he's no Arnold, but he had a very cut body going for Kong. He'd be a perfect Banner for Hulk in my opinion.
