If you've seen The Avengers — and the super-team movie's $617 million domestic take pretty much guarantees that you have — than you know that the Hulk not only steals just about every scene he appears in, but that his presence in the final battle is essential to the team's success. Most of the Avengers had reservations about siding with S.H.I.E.L.D. against Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his alien invasion force at some point during the movie, but none more so than the Hulk's "puny" alter-ego, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who finally joins the team in the eleventh hour.
In anticipation of the release of The Avengers on DVD/Blu-ray next month, Marvel Studios has released a deleted scene from the movie that shows Banner's indecision about "Hulking out" during an extended conversation with the kindly security guard (Harry Dean Stanton) who found him lying in a pile of rubble after falling out of the sky.
