I guess Joaquin Phoenix wasn’t serious when he said he was retiring from acting because according to
CHUD he is considering taking on the role in The Avengers. Ed Norton was mistakenly released from the film and that is who they are thinking of replacing him. When I think of Bruce Banner I think of Ed Norton, when I think of The Hulk I think of Joaquin Phoenix unshaven and rapping.
Plus I just think the way that he said that he turned his back on Hollywood and retired, he needs to work way his back into the biz and not be handed such a great role for his return the big screen. But that is just me.
