While the exchange over Marvel’s passing of Ed Norton as Bruce Banner in the Avengers movie was originally relegated to Norton’s Agent and Marvel folk, Norton jumped in on the news with a posting on his Facebook page.
Seems like a nice enough way to step aside and keep the fans from burning down the House of Ideas.

EDWARD NORTON BRING TEAR TO HULK’S EYE. HULK LOVE YOU TOO EDWARD!
It is a pretty classy note.
Fully agree. That’s a class act all the way. Very professional way of handling a silly situation.
If Kevin Feige had been this classy, this never would have been a story.
Well done Ed, Well done!
geez, what a gentleman.
Very gentlemanly. His agent could learn a thing or two from him.
See? I said it on my other post. He is the consummate professional. Which makes the idea of him not being enough of a “team-player” for the role absurd. I don’t know if it was financial or something else, but it wasn’t the man’s work ethic.
And I was really looking forward to see him opposite Downey Jr. Maybe he can play Moriarty or something.
