"Mark Ruffalo has discussed his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk in The Avengers. The actor, who took on the role previously played by Edward Norton, described The Hulk as &amp;quot;mercurial&amp;quot;.    &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s very unpredictable; he&amp;#039;s nuanced,&amp;quot; Ruffalo told Flicks and Bits. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a sense of humour there, there&amp;#039;s an ability to communicate.  &amp;quot;But he&amp;#039;s bristly and he&amp;#039;s incredibly dangerous - like a wild animal. His rage feels real, his reactions to things feel human.&amp;quot; Ruffalo went on to explain that both writer-director Joss Whedon and he had felt that it was important to give the character a sense of humour in order to humanise him. &amp;quot;What appealed to both Joss Whedon and I about the character is that he would have a common man sort of feel to him and possess this world-weary charm. We agreed he should have a sense of humour about his situation,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;Based on the last incarnation of The Incredible Hulk, there was the promise that Bruce Banner may actually have a little control over the behemoth. We wanted him to be fun and interesting as Banner and awesome as The Hulk.&amp;quot;  Ruffalo admitted recently that he is unsure about the possibility of a solo Hulk movie. &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Avengers 2&amp;#039; digs deeper, says Joss Whedon &amp;gt; &amp;#039;The Avengers&amp;#039; Tom Hiddleston on &amp;#039;exhausting&amp;#039; Loki role Watch Ruffalo discuss playing The Hulk below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
