* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/BillyCrudup and Creator/EdwardNorton were initially approached for Bruce Banner. Norton turned down the offer due to his dislike of the script. Norton would eventually portray the character in [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk the MCU reboot]].
*** Creator/TomCruise, Creator/JohnnyDepp, Creator/JeffGoldblum, Creator/DavidDuchovny, and Creator/SteveBuscemi were also considered.
** In an early version of the script, Talbot became the Abomination and fought the Hulk at the movie's end.
** In the script's first two versions, David was called Brian like in the comics.
** The animation studio originally made Hulk with a shade of green similar to what he has in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. But Ang Lee wanted Hulk greener to resemble his comic book counterpart better, as shown in the final film.
** An earlier screenplay had slightly more physical interaction between Betty and the Hulk during their two scenes together.
** As storyboarded and shown in concept art, the dog fight would've had the Hulk naked throughout the scene. To keep a PG-13 rating, they kept trying to find ways to [[SceneryCensor "cover up" his modesty with the trees and branches]], but Ang Lee thought it was reaching ''Film/AustinPowers''-levels of silliness.
*** The dog fight would've been more violent, with the Hulk killing the hounds more gruesomely, like crushing one's head in his hands. Betty would've also gotten minor injuries from the fight.
*** Concept art shows the Hulk Dogs as slightly larger than in the film.
** James Schamus began work on the script for the sequel before the release of ''Hulk'', and early drafts featured the Gray Hulk. Schamus also considered the Leader and the Abomination (who was still Talbot) as the main villains. The Leader eventually became the BigBad of the video game sequel.
** Talbot suffered a grislier death in an early script, getting himself riddled with bullets after shooting at the Hulk.
* An unfinished workprint of the movie got leaked online weeks before the film's theatrical release. People consider it one of the worst leaks in Hollywood history.

Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted. Since the choice was made by Ang Lee, it doesn't count.
