A new Bruce Banner

A double dose of Marvel movie news today.

Marvel announced that two-time Academy Award Award nominee Edward Norton will play Bruce Banner in Marvel Studio’s “The Incredible Hulk.” As you may recall, Eric Bana had the Banner role in Ang Lee’s “Hulk.” The new movie, directed by Louis Leterrier, is scheduled to rampage into theaters on June 13, 2008.

Meanwhile, “Spider-Man 3” had its world premiere today in Tokyo. Why Tokyo? I have no idea. Here in the U.S., we’ll have to wait until May 4.
