Mark Ruffalo hopes there are no hard feelings with his Hulk predecessor Edward Norton, insisting his pal's public exclusion from The Avengers wasn't "a great way" to kick off the project.
Fans were left stunned when Marvel Studios bosses announced last month that Norton, who played Dr. Bruce Banner and his monstrous alter-ego in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, would not star in the upcoming superhero movie.
A statement declared he would be replaced by an actor who "embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members".
Ruffalo was confirmed as the new Hulk as the The Avengers line-up appeared at the Comic-Con event last week - but he admits he regrets the way the situation unfolded.
He tells EW.com, "I'm a friend of Ed's, and yeah, that wasn't a great way for all that to go down. But the way I see it is that Ed has bequeathed this part to me. I look at it as my generation's Hamlet."
