Mark Ruffalo shed the Hulk suit and had 'a blast' making 'Poor Things' | Fresh Air

Mark Ruffalo plays a debauched cad in Yorgos Lanthimos' bawdy, dark comedy "Poor Things." The role was a big departure from his previous work playing real people in dramas like "Spotlight" or "Foxcatcher," or as the Incredible Hulk in the Marvel movies. The Oscar-nominated actor spoke with Sam Briger about these roles, how he got his start in acting, and how a brain tumor changed his life.
This interview originally aired February 13, 2024.
