In the 2003 film, actress Jennifer Connelly played Betty. In a interview, Connelly remarked how she was attracted to the role by way of director Ang Lee. "He's not talking about a guy running around in green tights and a glossy fun-filled movie for kids. He's talking along the lines of tragedy and psychodrama. I find it interesting, the green monster of rage and greed, jealousy and fear in all of us." ^[1]

In the 2008 film, Liv Tyler played her. Tyler was attracted to the love story in the script, and was a fan of the TV show, because of the "humanity and what Banner is going through".^[2] Tyler and Edward Norton also spent hours discussing Bruce and Betty's lives before he became the Hulk.^[3]
