Mark Ruffalo told Australia’s Sunday Herald-Sun that if he had been offered the role of The Hulk in the first film, he likely would’ve passed.

“I probably wouldn’t have done this movie in the past. But because of what Robert [Downey Jr] had done and where that genre has gone since then, I did it”.

“I have always tried to stay ahead of being stereotyped and the more I felt you could f— with people’s expectations of you, the longer a career you have. I consider myself a blue collar actor that way. What I do really enjoy is that rhythm and style and family and I like that kind of nomadic existence. I have never really been one to go for the cash. If my dad knew how much money I had turned in my lifetime he would kick me in the a—”.

He also said that when he tests for something like The Avengers it has to feel like he’s “going for more than a job”.He says he’s a bit wary at the prospect of the green screen acting and the barrage of special effects he’ll be acting alongside when The Avengers starts filming.
