Also rumored problems with Fincher on Fight Club etc.
I reckon he is a pain in the arse perfectionist, who doesn't realise he is just there to act the part and go home. Its a shame he has that rep, because he is undoubtedly losing parts because of it. I like him as an actor, I enjoy watching him, it appears that he is a bit of a dick on a personal level though.
To be fair, the Marvel President essentially said that Edward Norton isn't sufficiently “creative or collaborative” as the rest of the cast, he can't “work as part of an ensemble", and he isn't sufficiently “passionate.”
That isn't exactly a nice thing to say so I can understand why his manager would be a bit peeved at such a statement and I would be too.
I do like the films he has been in and would rate his performances as very good, but it's no surprise to find he doesn't get offered big roles much as the rumours about how difficult he is to work with are rife. If I was directing a film and the star of said film tried to wedge me out and take over, I'd have hit the roof and done whatever I could to stop it from happening. Just because he thought he was right doesn't give him permission to be an arse.
i think he is a bit over rated personally. He has been in some great films and put out some really decent performances, especially American History X but lot of people seem to rate him with guys like De Niro, Pacino, Brando, he not even close imo. I'd even say he is a bit samey in his roles.

Oooh the Avengers one is pretty damning!

The final scene is jaw dropping.
Explain yourself this instant!
