Kevin Feige has told HitFix that the rumors of Edward Norton being replaced in the upcoming Avengers movie are true. It has been doing the rounds on the web for a few days now that Norton would not play HULK in Avengers despite his eagerness to do so. Kevin Feige tells hitfix;
We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in the Avengers. Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members.
The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H, Chris E, Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks."So basically they want a cheaper actor who is hungry for the work and will do as he is told?

Here is a quote from Don Kramer regarding the changes to Wonder Woman. He will be handling art.Wonder Woman is THE female icon of comic books and probably the most recognizable female super hero in the world. When I was a kid, I was first introduced to her by watching the Super Friends cartoons and the Linda Carter/Wonder Woman show and loved it despite all the camp. Just seeing comic book heroes come to life was a real treat back then. I rediscovered her with the George Perez comics in the 80s. Over the years, her power level and costume has gone through many changes but her character has always remained true. I think her best years are still ahead of her. I feel fortunate to be working with such an iconic character on such a momentous occasion.
