MTV Movie Blogs spoke with Sam Elliot and Jennifer Connelly, who appeared as General Thunderbold Ross and Betty Ross in the previous 'Hulk' movie, about being replaced by an all-new cast for 'The Incredible Hulk'. While the actors expressed some small amount of disappointment, they are not losing sleep over not returning to the big green machine.
"Boo hoo," said Sam Elliott, pretending to cry over being replaced by William Hurt as General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross. "That's a little weird [to see someone take your part]. But I happen to be a huge Edward Norton fan, and I think he's a great choice for the Hulk. I'm sure he'll be incredible."
Ditto for Jennifer Connelly, who played his daughter. "I love Liv [Tyler]," Connelly said of the next Betty Ross. "She's a friend of mine and I'm so excited that she's doing it and I can't wait to see it. I love Ed [Norton] as well, and I can't wait to see what Ed does with it.
Still, Elliott wishes they'd have considered using some of the 2003 cast, "because I'd love to have done another one. But I'll be looking forward to seeing this one."
