Norton speaks out about 'Avenger' role

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Hulk is venting on Facebook. Ed Norton is speaking out on Facebook after Marvel Studios announced last week he won't be in the next Hulk movie: "Avengers."

Norton says he felt it would be rude not to respond to an outpouring of support from fans. Over the weekend, Marvel president announced the studio would replace Norton with "an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members."

So, Norton is apologizing that "it won't work out" for him to play
Bruce Banner again. But he adds he's proud of his work as the Hulk
film and grateful to the studio for the opportunity to play the
part.
