Captain America: Brave New World
Summary
16 twelvemonth afterIron Mankicked off theMCUin 2008 , it is exorbitant to call back how much Marvel has mostly ignore the appealingness of seeing Mark Ruffalo’sHulklose himself to evil . You have to go all the way back toThe Incredible Hulkin 2008 for Hulk ’s fight with Abomination coming close to showing an malign Hulk , but the less suppose about that the better . Finally , in 2025,Captain America : Brave New Worldmight just be correct that ill-timed .
All it claim is a lilliputian rage . Savage Hulk has an important property in Marvel history , butthe MCU timelinehas moved forth from the estimation by balancing Bruce Banner ’s warring theatrical role and creating the more pacifist - like Smart Hulk inAvengers : Endgame . And despite the existence of Abomination ( Tim Roth ) , andShe - Hulk ’s HulkKing ( Jon Bass ) , it does n’t experience like the MCU has answer what would happen if Hulk was vicious in a lineal enough way . Harrison Ford ’s Red Hulkcan be that answer .
Between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment , here is every upcoming Marvel film release day of the month and what we know about the labor so far .
The MCU Is Finally Introducing A New Evil Hulk
Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross Is The Complex Villain We Need
The astonishingly early release of theCaptain America : Brave New Worldtrailerrevealed the imminent arrival of Harrison Ford ’s Red Hulk . It ’s fair to say it was an exciting development , crown by the release of an unbelievably nerveless poster shew Red Hulk ’s giant hired hand holding Captain America ’s buckler .
Ford ’s Thunderbolt Ross is the new MCU president , replacingSecret Invasion ’s President Ritson ( Dermot Mulroney ) , and footage show at CinemaCon suggest he will attempt to jell up a new Avengers squad . Butthe Red Hulk uncover and the conflict with Anthony Mackie ’s Captain America leaves no room for reading : he ’s not a salutary guy rope .
That perhaps is an over - reduction . More accurately , Ross has rise himself a desperate man uncoerced to do whatever it takes for the greater good . This was the man who created the Abomination , who spearheaded the Sokovia Accords , and who made the Avengers state of war crook . He did n’t do it because he ’s immorality , he did it because he believed it was necessary . But transforming into Red Hulk will expand the bad of him , and we ’ll get to see the Savage Hulk Banner can not be in the MCU .

For Hulk fan like me , that is incredibly exciting , and it ’s been a long time derive . Red Hulk is a redoubtable foe for anyone , who will stupefy a vast threat to Sam Wilson , and intriguingly , behind his fiery furore , he will have the complex belief that he is right .
The MCU’s Missing Evil Hulk History Explained
Marvel Has Flirted With A Savage Hulk Several Times
Marvel has previously explored the idea of an evil Hulk , with early plans forThe Avengersreportedly positioning Banner as the villain . The Avengers , sequelAge Of Ultron , andThor : Ragnarokall showed flashes of the potential plot line , but never fully delivered . The tightlipped we ever really got was Louis Letterier’sabandonedThe Incredible Hulk 2 , which would have live more savage :
“ Hulk is a complex lineament within the Marvel Universe . You need the primeval Hulk … the rage Hulk . And then when you go Grey Hulk and Smart Hulk you lose that a little bit and you get a piffling bit more kiddish with it . ”
It ’s all been so close , yetfelt incredibly far away from a true realisation of the story I ’ve wanted to see for years . A Hulk in control is not the most interesting reading of the character : the verbatim portrait of military man ’s capacity for rage and wickedness personified is more compelling . Hulk has been a tank in the MCU , predict upon to be a weapon of aggregative wipeout , and seeing him suffer ascendance inAvengers : eld Of Ultronteased something the MCU should have done more .
Captain America: Brave New World (formerly titledNew World Order)marks Sam Wilson’s first MCU big-screen appearance as Steve Rogers' successor after receiving the suit and shield in Phase 4’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Anthony Mackie returns as the titular Avenger alongside Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, Carl Lumby as Isaiah Bradley, and Tim Blake Nelson as The Incredible Hulk’s former ally Samuel Sterns. Harrison Ford makes his MCU debut replacing the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross.After meeting President Thaddeus Ross, Sam is caught in a global crisis. He must expose the mastermind behind a sinister plot before the world descends into turmoil. Captain America: Brave New World marks the big-screen debut of Sam Wilson as Captain America, and Harrison Ford makes his MCU debut, replacing the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross.
To think Marvel has never given us a full movie where Hulk goes wickedness is atrocious . Banner ’s bow has been all about his decision to be a wedge , and his seeking to cure himself . The unfortunate side result of him winning that battle is we ’ve not see more of him losing restraint . Age Of Ultron ’s Hulkbuster battle was too good to have been such a lowly part of the MCU . Now it feels like we ’re conk to get that , albeit from Red Hulk , and the prospect excites me massively .
Sadly The MCU Has Never Done A Good Evil Hulk Story
Emil Blonsky ’s Abomination history take up strongly in concept at least , butThe Incredible Hulkwas a originative muddle that Marvel part rebooted . And since then , Marvel Studios has taken a quality who was introduced consciously as a threat and defanged him . Blonsky was literally turn into a hipster in the name of a comedic buyback electric discharge . And anyway , it ’s not as creatively interesting to have a megalomaniac with no moral shade become a grievous Hulk as having someone well - intentioned go through that phylogeny .
She - Hulk ’s HulkKing was a flash in the pan , and honestly end up being the platform for a meta - caper based around how obvious the pay - off would have been . regrettably , what I ca n’t shake is the musical theme that it was obvious because Hulk fan in reality desire it to encounter : so the clever gotcha ofShe - Hulk ’s ending felt like a number of an insult in that respect . There ’s just not been the malign Hulk story I need .
Now Imagine The Future We Can Have For Hulk…
If We’re Lucky, We Could Finally Get World War Hulk In The MCU
It ’s not outside the realms of fantasy to indicate thatRed Hulk ’s MCU debut could lead to Hulk at long last meeting one of his most wanted baddie . That would , of course of instruction , rely onCaptain America : Brave New Worldnot killing him off ( or heal Thunderbolt Ross , obviously ) , but using him for only a handful of scenery at most would be inexcusable .
Even more excitingly , a really nefarious Hulk could lead totheWorld War Hulkprojectthat has long been suppose as part of the MCU ’s future . correctly now , it simply does n’t make sense for Hulk to be sent forth from Earth out of fear : after all , Banner is Smart Hulk , one of the most popular Avengers afterEndgame ’s events . Something would have to exchange to earmark Marvel to give us all what we want .
But if Red Hulk rampages inCaptain America : Brave New World , or vows to start a state of war with Banner that turn the public against him , we might really have the right way set for an version of World War Hulk that make sense . Perhaps this is aspiring thinking from a prospicient - terminal figure Hulk buff , but it ’s punishing not to get wind up by that .
