Norton played the superhero in 2008's "The Incredible Hulk," but when he was not hired to reprise the part in the upcoming ensemble picture "The Avengers," the role went to Ruffalo.
"We feel like it's our generation's 'Hamlet,' and we're all going to get a crack it," Ruffalo told the New York Post of the character.
"We're copacetic; we're cool," he added, regarding his relationship with Norton.
