Here are some of the actors who were recast in a franchise.

2008’s The Incredible Hulk was a relatively failed attempt made by Marvel Studios to revive the character of the scientist who transforms into a furious green-skinned giant. Edward Norton was cast as The Hulk, but in the 2012 film The Avengers it was Mark Ruffalo who played him.

Though different actors playing the same character is quite typical in the superhero realm, when it comes to two consecutive films created by the same team, it’s considered uncommon to replace the lead. There are several different versions to why Norton did not continue in the franchise, but there is one thing many people agree on: Mark Ruffalo makes a great Hulk.
