The Incredible Hulk finds Liv Tyler

Get this: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Liv Tyler will star opposite Ed 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. He is the man behind The Transporter films.

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.

Filming on the new "Hulk" is slated to begin in the summer in Toronto. Universal Pictures is distributing.
