In a recent interview with British newspaper,
The Telegraph, the actor revealed some key details about how Marvel Studios will use motion capture technology to transform him into the Incredible Hulk in
The Avengers. And judging from his below comments, it looks like he's already tried it out!
Given that Ruffalo is slim, shortish and seemingly untroubled by anger issues, this is either very bold or very batty casting. Ruffalo isn’t sure himself, although he’s excited. The Avengers will be shot using a technique called 'motion capture' whereby he’ll be digitally transformed into the Hulk at the same time as playing him.
"There’s this algorithm that digitally puts 2,000lbs of muscle onto my body. It’s weird. I wear this skinny little suit with reflective balls all over it," he says. "When we shot the stuff, I was actually standing in a warehouse with a couple of cardboard boxes and some foam mats. But when I looked at the monitor there I was as the Hulk in this landscape with cars and boulders and hills."
Also starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr and Chris Hemsworth,
The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!
