The Avengers (2012)

[j7wild]

You do know that Iron Man has two solo movies & Thor, Captain America have their own solo movies & The Incredible Hulk is canon to this movie. All leading up to The Avengers. Nick Fury, Black Widow, Hawkeye has appeared in some of these movies while Nick Fury has appeared in each one

yeah, I know that.

I just find it strange that

1. making the solo films not enough, now they got to get them altogether in one film?

and

2. the same actors in those movies are in this one

BUT

why is Edward Norton or Eric Bana not in this one as the Incredible Hulk?

The only reason why they make "Thor" and "Captain America" are they need them for "The Avengers". You have successful solo movie characters, so why not a movie together with everyone. What is strange about that?

2. the same actors in those movies are in this one

Contracts. I find this very nice. Tony Stark without Robert Downey Jr. is not same thing.

why is Edward Norton or Eric Bana not in this one as the Incredible Hulk?

The films are not very successful and tied to a specific actor, like Tony or Captain. So you can change the actor. It is okay.

Do not be naive, this is the film industry.
