It’s been over a decade now since Edward Norton’s one and only MCU outing as the star of Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk, but should Marvel Studios find themselves with another character fit for the Motherless Brooklyn star, then Norton has suggested that he’d be open to returning.
Avengers: Endgame packs a lot of fan-pleasing moments into its three-hour runtime, but in order to keep the Infinity War sequel from putting an even bigger strain on audience’s bladders, it was inevitable that some footage would be left on the cutting room floor.
