Find out what you missed over a non-stop news weekend
Edward Norton at the world premiere of "The Incredible Hulk" in 2008.
[It's become clear to those of us on the HitFix team that the news never stops whether it's the weekend or not. And with the fine summer weather keeping you away from the computer, you may have missed a slew of news, reviews and more. We hope this new feature will become a regular part of your Monday web surfing to let you catch up. If you like it we'll keep it, so share your thoughts below.]
The biggest story of the weekend broke right here on HitFix. First, Drew McWeeny broke the story Friday afternoon that Edward Norton would not be returning as Bruce Banner in Joss Whedon's "The Avengers." Saturday, Marvel chief Kevin Feige sent HitFix an exclusive statement explaining Marvel's decision. Sunday, Norton's agent responded to HitFix with some harsh words regarding Feige's statement. No word from Norton himself, yet. What is clear from this continuing evolving story is that Marvel's plan was to debut The Avengers at Comic-Con later this month. Whether a new Hulk can be found in time to make that happens remains to be seen.
