Marvel: How Iron Man Convinced Mark Ruffalo to Play the Hulk

Do you like Mark Ruffalo as the superhero Hulk? So you can warmly thank Robert Downey Jr.! Indeed, the translator of Iron Man convinced the actor to portray the Green Giant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

At first, Mark Ruffalo didn’t really want to portray Bruce Banner/Hulk on the big screen. “was afraid”said the American actress in 2020 Interview with Jimmy Fallon. “I didn’t know what else I could add to what I thought was already done so well.” Let’s remind, the superhero was already portrayed by Eric Bana and Edward Norton in the movies Hulk and The Incredible Hulk.

Mark Ruffalo, who was also hesitant because he had only excelled in independent films before, so he didn’t see himself in the character at all. “I didn’t know if I was the right person, even though director Joss Whedon thought otherwise”– says the actor.

While Ruffalo clearly didn’t seem to be rhyming superheroes anymore, a certain Robert Downey Jr. got into the dance. “He called me, he had to tell us that I was hesitant, he just said, ‘Ruffalo, let’s go.'”– says the actor. “He really told me that, as Iron Man would have said it. After that I thought I should do it.”

After what we’d call Robert Downey Jr.’s slight pressure, Mark Ruffalo insisted on reading a few pages of the Avengers script before finally accepting the role. 20 pages written by Joss Whedon about the character of Bruce Banner seduce the actor who will give his “go”. “it was different”he says. “I thought it was funny, fun, and I could do something with it.”

Mark Ruffalo portrayed the character of the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first Avengers film, which hit theaters in 2012.
