Edward Norton is taking over for Eric Bana as the giant green monster in The Incredible Hulk. Live Tyler will be stepping into Jennifer Connelly’s shoes as Betty Ross. But now we know who will step in to the role of the villain against our green-skinned friend the Hulk.

Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs) will join the cast and play Emil Blonsky. In the comics, Blonsky exposed himself to the same radiation that turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk. Due to the exposure, Blonsky then mutated into a Hulk-like creature called Abomination.

In the film, Blonsky’s role will be similar to that from the comics. He is a KGB agent who exposes himself to a good amount more radiation then Banner had been exposed to. This will then cause Abomination to be stronger and larger then Hulk, but also not able to change back to his human form. He will blame Banner for his condition and their feud will grow.

The Incredible Hulk is on course for release in theatres on June 13 of next year. That is of course tentative though and subject to change.
