Black Widow: 12 Huge Rumours That Would Change Everything
9. Red Hulk Will Appear
Though we know Black Widow will take place in the space between Civil War and Infinity War, the appearance of William Hurt in the movie's marketing is throwing into question if this is the only time that will be explored.
A snippet in one of the movie's trailers shows a computer graphically de-aged Thaddeus Ross, suggesting a flashback. There have also been leaked set photos showing the character leaning on a walking cane, looking frail and jaded. Much more so than in Civil War, Infinity War or Endgame. While this could mean a time jump forward, there is a rumour it could mean something else.
Could this version of Ross instead be suffering from the side effects of experimenting on himself? In the comics Ross undergoes a procedure to turn him into the Red Hulk. This is something that has been speculated about ever since the character first appeared in the Incredible Hulk back in 2008, but it could be in Black Widow in 2020 that we finally see the transformation.
With Team Cap on the run after the events of Civil War, could Thunderbolt Ross be looking to bring Rogers and co. in by himself?
