That'd be interesting.
Bit of a visual change from Norton who was in better shape physically. 
I'd kinda like this though.

Yes!! Although I agree inferiorego, the American accent is definitely the make or break here.  
 
And Adrian Brody would be good too, as long as wasn't as ripped up as he is in Predators. But not Joaquin Phoenix. He's just so wrong for it.

I'm down with this, as long as he can nail the accent. I'm pretty bias thought as I loved him in Dr Who

Not a bad choice, We've seen him in that kind of position in Doctor Who but I can see him as bruce even if he could be a good choise 

A rumor is how I look at all these casting decisions until someone says something concrete.  
 
It's still funny to me how some fanboyshaveman crusheson certain actors just because they were in some genre show I see David Tennet and Nathan Fillion's names on every dream casting lists of posters on the internet if it were up to some of them they would play any comic book character. 

Just like I said.
Him or the guy from District 9 are my top 2 choices.
He probably looks like a genius because, he looks socially awkward.

C'mon, after Rogue, Gambit, and Black Widow, you guys still think anybody involved with a Marvel movie is even TRYING to match up accents? Heck, if you go waaaay back to the animated "Pryde of the X-Men," Wolverine had an Australian accent (right down to calling Toad a "dingo"). 
 
Honestly, as long as they get the core essence of Banner's character right, I'm willing to forgive inconsistencies like accent and appearance. What I won't forgive is when they utterly alter a character's background (yes, I'm talking to you, people who made the Street Fighter films). A slightly British-sounding Banner I can forgive, a Banner who is a suave insurance adjuster having a mid-life crisis who gains the ability to turn into the Hulk from an irradiated batch of Rogaine, I can not.

I think this rumour was probably started on Comicvine, lol. 
As much as I'd absolutely love to see David Tennant in the role! I think it will never happen.

I'd much prefer Ruffalo, sorry.

well, he surely looks the part.

adrien brody would be good.  so would ruffalo

He would be good for the role.

He certainly looks the part.

If he can do an American accent then I think he could play Banner really well, better than Mark Ruffalo.  However, I still think   Sharlto Copley would be the best person for the role.  While I would have liked to see Norton continue on as Banner for the sake of consistency, I agree with inferiorego that I never believed him as a genius.  The only actors in the Incredible Hulk movie that I really believed in their roles were Tim Roth and Tim Blake Nelson.  

I either want him or Adrian Brody to get the role.

Would be good, but only a rumour. He was also rumoured to be up for the role of The Riddler as well....guessing Dr Who fans are fanning the flmaes to all these rumours :P

 for the longest time I thought he was Callum Blue    

*Like* 
 
Well, better than Mark Ruffalo.

as the 9th Doctor would say "Fantastic!".

I could see this.... ;-; i want Norton back tho....

the accent worries me a little, but if he can pull it off, i think he'd make a pretty good Banner. kind of miss Ed Norton, though. i liked him

YES!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET IT BE TRUE!!!

Hahaha that would be AWESOME 
 
The guys a talented actor I reckon he could do it 

To be honest - this is a horrible choice.

I agree, he'd make a perfect Banner visually. It'd really depend on his vocal coach.

He is a good actor, but I would hope he had more screen time than playing Banner in the Avengers movie, where he would get little screen time compared to a role like the Riddler or something.

Best option so far. Very good.

I'll wait until an official announcement.  Though I have no objections to any of the three casting rumors I've seen.

" I either want him or Adrian Brody to get the role. "

Better than Phoenix, Ruffalo or roided Brody.

I still prefer Edward Norton's Banner. :(

I couldn't care less as to who plays Banner. When the Hulk is in a movie I don't go to that movie to see Banner I go to see the Hulk. They could cast Howard Stern as Banner for all I care.

I want Tennant!

yes 
yes 
this is the best choice apart from norton anyway
