When Bruce accidentally spills blood into one of the bottles, a man falls ill from Gamma poisoning by drinking it, which is the clue General Ross ( William Hurt) uses to track Banner down. Bruce Banner ( Edward Norton) has taken refuge in Brazil as a worker at a bottling plant, where he keeps a low profile and works on controlling his anger in his spare time.

The story takes place five years after the tragic accident which created the Hulk, glimpses of which are seen in the opening credits.


The Incredible Hulk is a 2008 film based on the character of the same name directed by Louis Leterrier ( The Transporter, Unleashed) following the trend of rebooting a franchise rather than creating a sequel to an unpopular first effort, this film takes place in a different continuity from the 2003 version and is the second movie in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its Phase 1.
