No movie due for release this year has been as whispered-about as Black Widow, with speculation running rampant that the movie will either usher in Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) as the new Black Widow, or perhaps even find a way to resurrect Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) following her demise in Avengers: Endgame.

But there's another big rumour that's even more insane than the possibility of Natasha coming back from the dead - the MCU debut of Red Hulk.

It's no secret that Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt) will appear in the film in a supporting capacity, and there are murmurs that Ross may even end up transformed into his comic book alter-ego Red Hulk.

In the comics, Ross was secretly turned into a crimson doppelganger of the Hulk in order to better combat the big green guy.

While this doesn't seem like the most plausible fit for a Black Widow solo movie, the fact that Hurt has been spotted walking around set with a cane caused some fans to suggest Ross may be ill at some point in the film, and undergo an experimental operation in order to prolong his life, leading to the creation of Red Hulk.

Even if this turns out to be true, it's rather unlikely we'll see much of Red Hulk in a film that already has plenty to juggle, but it's entirely possible a credits scene could provide fans with a brief glimpse of the character.

Similarly, though, it could be nothing more than total wishful thinking from a few imaginative fans.
