Edward Norton has revealed that he has not been approached to reprise his role as the Hulk in the upcoming superhero movie Iron Man 2.

After starring as Bruce Banner in last year's The Incredible Hulk, Norton has been linked to a cameo role in the Iron Man sequel. However, the actor recently debunked these rumours in an MTV interview.

"I heard that. I don't know where that's coming from," he said. "I am not in Iron Man 2 to my knowledge."

Norton's future as the Marvel character is currently uncertain, with the star previously refusing to comment on whether he would appear in The Avengers film. It is also unknown whether Marvel has designs for another Hulk movie in the foreseeable future.

Iron Man 2 arrives in theatres on May 7, 2010. The Avengers is slated for 2012.
