Hollywood: In case you're a normal civilian who keeps their computer shut off during the weekend, you may have missed out on the biggest comic book movie drama of the year - a rumor suggesting that Marvel Studios was passing on Edward Norton for "The Avengers" due to monetary reasons was confirmed by Marvel, though the studio said the reason was not financially based. Unsurprisingly, Norton's representatives fired back against allegations that the actor is not someone who embodies "creativity and collaborative spirit." Regardless of who is right or wrong in this he-said she-said situation, one thing is clear: Edward Norton will not play Bruce Banner in "The Avengers" or, most likely, any other future Marvel movie.
