Captain America: Brave New World Reveals First Look at Red Hulk

Red Hulk is hinted to be introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the debut trailer of Captain America: Brave New World.

Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Captain America, Danny Ramirez playing Joaquin Torres / Falcon, Carl Lumbly appearing as Isaiah Bradley, Tim Blake Nelson portraying Samuel Sterns/The Leader and Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross being played by Harrison Ford are all featured in the trailer below.

The sneak peek of Red Hulk in the trailer is bound to spark discussions among fans regarding its implications for both the movie and future developments within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The story established in the trailer commences with President Thaddeus Ross summoning Sam Wilson and proposing that Captain America become an official military asset, which doesn't sit well with Sam. Other influential figures such as Leader weigh in on global issues. Additionally, Isaiah from Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier tries to assassinate Thaddeus Ross amidst plenty of epic action scenes showcasing Sam's newly acquired ability to fly. At some point during a confrontation between them, Thadeeus points out that Steve Rogers isn't replaced by him; thereupon agreed upon by Sam himself.

Towards the trailer's conclusion, Red Hulk seizes Captain America's iconic shield and smashes it onto the ground. Sam appears to engage in a skirmish against Red Hulk that may seem imbalanced; however, Marvel is undoubtedly keeping some tricks under their sleeve.

Prior leaks had suggested that Thaddeus Ross, played by Harrison Ford in the film, would undergo a dramatic transformation into an immense and computer-generated monster. The recently released trailer for Captain America: Brave New World provides confirmation of this speculation. It appears likely that certain aspects of the movie's plot draw inspiration from Hulk comic storylines published between 2008 and 2010 - including those featuring Red Hulk as a prominent character. Some enthusiastic fans have gone so far as to propose theories about this possibly being an undisclosed installment within Marvel Studios' larger universe or even Mark Ruffalo's last appearance onscreen. Rewritten passage improved with AI assistance: Speculation preceding its release indicated that debuting footage from Captain America: Brave New World might finally validate rumors regarding Harrison Ford's portrayal of Thaddeus Ross evolving into a colossal CG-rendered creature; fortunately, subsequent events align well with conjecture thus far. As there are shared elements drawn from various iterations seen across multiple different stories focusing on Bruce Banner/Hulk during years popularly known as "World War Hulks," dedicated readers may discern another connection here—specifically pertaining to tales involving his crimson-hued counterpart (alias Red Hulk). Fanatics actively debate three main possibilities underpinning these potential clues: it could be either secretly categorizable within what some clamorously term Phase Four—an overarching project said boundlessly burgeoning forth—or Green Goliath actor Mark Rufallo going out after one more go-round before dropping proverbial superhero mic forever recurring sources say backstage revolving around dismal development prospects should plans fall apart without successful renegotiation terms satisfying all parties involved meanwhile audiences eagerly await further updates!

On February 14, 2025, Captain America: Brave New World will hit theaters and Marvel has already unveiled its first poster.

Giancarlo Esposito, known for his roles in Breaking Bad, Star Wars and The Boys, has been confirmed to star in the upcoming movie. It was reported in May that Captain America: Brave New World would undergo reshoots to introduce Esposito's villainous character into the storyline.

Though the actor had previously shown interest in portraying Professor Xavier, leader of X-Men, it wasn't until May that he declared his inclusion as an undisclosed character in MCU. Esposito even went on to assure fans that the role is beyond their imagination and later confirmed a TV series revolving around his character's journey.
