Synopsis
The second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is The Incredible Hulk, released in 2008. The film introduced a new backstory for the hulk to differentiate it from the movie Hulk in 2003.
In the first MCU Hulk film, actor Edward Norton played the role of the green hulk and his alter ego, Bruce Banner. He is joined by actress Liv Tyler who plays his love interest, Dr. Elizabeth ‘Betty” Ross. Betty’s father, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), is hoping to recreate a World War II super soldier program and, in the process, exposes Bruce to gamma radiation that transforms him into the Hulk. He flees to find a cure for himself but is eventually tracked down by Thunderbolt, who allies with Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth). Emil undergoes the process of transforming into a creature similar to Hulk to be able to fight him.
Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), makes a cameo towards the end of the film, talking about a group being formed. The Incredible Hulk has become part of The Avengers, but the character is played by another actor now, Mark Ruffalo.
