10 Upcoming Movie Twists Everyone's (Probably) Already Guessed
6. Thunderbolt Ross Becomes Red Hulk - Captain America: Brave New World
The fourth Captain America film, Brave New World, will see Harrison Ford take over the role of Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross from the late William Hurt, and honestly, what better time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to finally pull the damn trigger on Red Hulk?
Ever since Ross first showed up in the MCU back in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, fans have been patiently waiting to see him become Red Hulk as in the comics - quite literally a red version of The Hulk who uniquely retains his intelligence once transformed.
Now in fairness, a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy leak seems to confirm that Red Hulk will be in the movie, but as we've seen before in the MCU, merch leaks aren't always 1:1 with the final film - especially one undergoing as many reshoots as Brave New World.
Even so, this feels like the right time for Ross to finally become the Big Red Guy and serve as a secondary antagonist to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), the pair likely being manipulated into conflict by the film's real villain, The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson).
