General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Chris]

Yeah bc Edward Norton refused to come back or something

 

[Jimmy King]

Ah yeah, I never really put all of that together

 

[Chris]

They changed War Machine's actor too

 

[Jimmy King]

Yeah, it was Terrence Howard in Iron Man

 

[Chris]

General Ross though was super important in Civil War and he's like the main villain in Hulk, same actor and all

 

[Jimmy King]

I’ve gotten so used to Don Cheadle as War Machine I can’t see it as anyone else

 

[Chris]

Same I think he was better casting

 

[Chris]

Norton vs Ruffalo is debatable bc I'm a huge Norton mark but Ruffalo has been great

 

[Sabretooth]

Terence Howard is bigger than Don Cheadle but Don is a much better actor so it’s hard for me

 

[Sabretooth]

Apparently they were strongly considering Ruffalo originally but he was busy so after Norton left it was perfect and they got what they wanted originally anyway lol

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Incredible Hulk was 2008 too but I don’t think they count that one as the MCU

They do, just not 2003, even though it’s basically in the backstory of the 2008 film. Hulk’s canon is confusing.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Yeah bc Edward Norton refused to come back or something

Norton apparently had too many demands to do Avengers.

 

[Sabretooth]

There was a lot of factors all of which is only speculation of course since we weren’t there.

 

[Chris]

I thought Norton had a contract dispute or something tbh

 

[Chris]

But I feel like I"ve only heard marvel fans side of that story anyway lmaooo
