It looks like we can expect Hawkeye and the Hulk to face off on the big screen in more than just The Avengers, as it has tonight been revealed that former Bruce Banner, Ed Norton, is in talks to play the villain in The Bourne Legacy. Here is an excerpt from the report over at Variety.



Edward Norton is in negotiations to play the baddie in "The Bourne Legacy," Variety's Justin Kroll and Jeff Sneider exclusively report. ony Gilroy will direct from a script he wrote. While plot details are under wraps, it's known that Jason Bourne will not be featured -- Renner will play another assasin trained in the same program.


What do you guys make of this news? There's no doubting that these are two quality actors, and it should be quite something seeing them face off on the big screen! Wonder how awkward it'll be when they start chatting about The Avengers though, eh? Be sure to share your thoughts on all this in the usual place!

With Jeremy Renner apparently signed up to play the lead character, The Bourne Legacy is set to be released on August 3rd, 2012!
