Wow, someone gave old William Hurt a job.  Who knew that the veteran actor was still in demand? 

57-year-old Hurt has joined the cast of The Incredible Hulk & will be taking on the role of General Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, a military guy whose life is basically devoted to arresting the green hero.

Director Louis Leterrier must be getting excited as the cast is forming into a great superhero film which will also star Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth & now William Hurt.

The current target release date for The Incredible Hulk is June 13, 2008.  So not too far off really.
