We've known since Comic-Con that Mark Ruffalo will be portraying the Hulk in Marvel's upcoming The Avengers. But it seems that Mark Ruffalo's performance will be much different from the Hulks we've seen in the two previous feature films. Vulture recently caught up with Ruffalo, who revealed that he will not only be portraying Bruce Banner, but he will also play the actual Hulk using the same motion-capture technology utilized in James Cameron's Avatar. Here's what he told the site:

"I'm really excited. No one's ever played the Hulk exactly, they've always done CGI. They're going to do the Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture. So I'll actually play the Hulk. That'll be fun."

Mark Ruffalo also said that he was going to try and stay closer to Bill Bixby's version of the Hulk from The Incredible Hulk TV series:

"I really love the first TV version of it, the Bill Bixby one. I'm gonna shoot for that a little bit. He was an everyman in it. He's always on the run and trying to find love. It's really a sympathetic character, before he turns into the Hulk and f*&ks everything up."

We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further news on The Avengers as soon as it is made available.
