The Hulk is a Marvel character who made his debut in the Incredible Hulk comic series on May, 1962. He was created by both Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Because of exposure to gamma radiation coupled with childhood trauma, Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk whenever he is stressed or enraged.
In the 2003 film, the Hulk was played by Eric Bana. He turned down the offer of reprising the role, viewing the first film as a one-time opportunity.[1] In the 2008 film he is played by Edward Norton; Lou Ferrigno, who played the Hulk with Bill Bixby, remarked Norton "He has a similar physique, similar personality. Ed is a very fine actor and it adds tremendous credibility for him to be involved with the movie."[2]

Behind the scenes
According to Kurt Williams, the visual effects supervisor for the 2008 film, they decided it was important to make The Hulk a consistent size throughout the film.
| We wanted him to be one size the whole time, so we picked 9 feet, because it would still allow him to relate to human beings and not be so big that he would be almost alien or unbelievable. It allows you to believe he's really there, but you still have the ability for him to believably pick up a car and throw it and show other great feats of strength like slamming the ground and creating a giant chasm in the street.
