A new creative team and a new cast has been brought in to inject life into the franchise after the initial Hulk excitement was lost when the film received only a lukewarm response despite costing nearly $200 million to make.
In this new beginning, Edward Norton takes over from Eric Bana to play scientist Bruce Banner who desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him, which is personified by his alter-ego The Hulk.
The threat of a transformation, which occurs when he gets angry, isolates him from the life he knew and the woman he loves, scientist Betty Ross. Liv Tyler replaces Jennifer Connelly as Bruce's love interest.

Banner's life becomes one of subterfuge as he attempts to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.
Joining Norton is a high calibre cast including Tim Roth as well as Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role as Tony Stark, Iron Man's alter ego, to share a scene with Hurt's General Thunderbolt Ross.
As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk's creation, Banner the scientist must make an agonising final choice: accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds inside - The Incredible Hulk.
The Incredible Hulk will go on general release in the US June 13

The Hulk has been re-imagined as a grittier character with the big green monster sporting a weathered body and scarred face
