He’s been the subject of rumours almost since the minute Edward Norton quit the role, but now it would appear that a flurry of deal-making activity means that Mark Ruffalo wil be striding out on stage at today’s Marvel panel at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Of course, Marvel is naturally staying silent on the issue and with the panel mere hours away, we wouldn’t expect anything less, but with Deadline and at least one other site reporting that Ruffalo’s deal is sealed and he will indeed be the one to shoulder Bruce Banner’s big green burden. And that he’ll officially get the nod in Hall H at the convention centre alongside Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth and director Joss Whedon.
Oh, and not forgetting Nathan Fillion as Ant-Man. All right, that last bit was just Joss’s little joke, but it sent enough rumour flames scorching around the Interwebs to set several buildings on fire. But to be clear: Nathan is only appearing as Ant-Man in several fans’ fevered dreams.
Unless it’s a double bluff and… Must… not… dream…
