Posted by Horror Grinder on May 6, 2007

THR reports (via SciFi Wire) that Liv Tyler will star opposite Edward Norton in Marvel Studios’ The Incredible Hulk, signing on to play Betty Ross, the longtime love interest of Dr. Bruce Banner/the Hulk.

Louis Leterrier is directing the movie, which is being produced by Avi Arad, Gale Anne Hurd and Kevin Feige. Ross, a classic Hulk character from the comic book’s beginning in 1962, is Banner’s fellow scientist and an ally in his quest to rid him of his lurking monster deep inside. The movie will unfold with Ross estranged from Banner (Norton), but with the pursuit of the Hulk heating up and Banner on the run trying to cure his condition, Ross finds herself swept back into his life.

Jennifer Connelly played the character in the 2003 movie Hulk, directed by Ang Lee. Filming on the new Hulk is slated to begin in the summer in Toronto. Universal Pictures is distributing.
