Mark Ruffalo tells Australia's Sunday Herald-Sun that if he had been offered the role of Bruce Banner/The Hulk in the first feature film based on the Marvel comic hero, he likely would've passed without regret.

"I probably wouldn't have done this movie in the past", Ruffalo tells the newspaper. "But because of what Robert [Downey Jr] had done and where that genre has gone since then, I did it".

Ruffalo, a fan of The Incredible Hulk TV show, says he's a bit way at the prospect of the green screen acting and the barrage of special effects he'll be acting alongside when The Avengers starts filming next year. But it sounds as if he's looking forward to playing a superhero - if only because he likes to do different things.

"I have always tried to stay ahead of being stereotyped and the more I felt you could f— with people's expectations of you, the longer a career you have. I consider myself a blue collar actor that way. What I do really enjoy is that rhythm and style and family and I like that kind of nomadic existence".

Ruffalo, currently promoting a new indy comedy called The Kids Are Alright, says he's "like, ';five for me and one for them'" - referring to the few studio tentpole pics he's made. "I have never really been one to go for the cash. If my dad knew how much money I had turned in my lifetime he would kick me in the a—".

Ruffalo says when he tests for something like The Avengers it has to feel like he's "going for more than a job".
