I was reading THIS article on the LATimes, and I saw the following in the comment section, directly addressed to Ed Norton:

 Quote:


Ed, Louis Letterrier was the director of "The Incredible Hulk". There were also writers, directors of photography and special effects teams. As the lead actor in the film, you played a key part in the production, BUT you were not the director or the screenwriter. There were dozens of other well-known actors who also could have shined in that role. What you did was let your galaxy-sized ego hijack the production. You insisted on re-writing almost every line of dialogue, making it different but not necessarily better, and you told the director how to direct your scenes. You're a smart guy, Ed, and a gifted actor. But your out-sized opinion of yourself and your importance would derail any ensemble film you were cast in. Simply put, casting you as the Hulk in the new Avengers film would have been a formula for disaster and ensured a painful and frustrating experience for everybody else involved in the production, including the other actors. Your past behavior on other sets is the reason you lost this part and I think that members of the crew who will work on Avengers are grateful that Feige and Marvel had the courage to drop you from the film.

Could that be, say, John Romita Jr. or someone connected to the production? They seem to speak with great certainty...
