As a seasoned film enthusiast who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless cinematic icons, I must say that the announcement of Harrison Ford donning the Red Hulk armor in Captain America: Brave New World has me thoroughly excited!
Discussion about the movie “Captain America: Brave New World” has been intense due to extended filming sessions following the initial wrap-up and reportedly challenging test screenings. Fortunately, after numerous delays, the fourth installment in the Captain America film series now has an official release date – February 14, 2025. Originally scheduled for May 3, 2024, and then moved again to July 26, 2024, it appears Marvel Studios is firm about its Valentine’s Day weekend slot, with much anticipation building up. Key elements include Anthony Mackie starring as Captain America in his own film, the return of villain Samuel Sterns (The Leader), and the intriguing cast addition of Harrison Ford playing President Thaddeus Ross.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, the director of Brave New World, Julius Onah, discussed John Ford’s portrayal of President Ross and his transformation into the Red Hulk, a key aspect in the film’s promotion. Onah expressed excitement as he watched Ford embody the character, exclaiming (using strong language): “Everyone on set was amazed, ‘Wow, he absolutely nailed it! It’s fantastic to have a Hulk who is truly smashing things and acting as a rage monster.
In the last few years, apart from a brief incident involving Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk), the uncontrollable Hulk was last seen in the 2015 movie “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. Here, Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) had to use the Hulkbuster armor to calm down an out-of-control Bruce Banner/Hulk. Since then, different variations of the Hulk character have emerged, with the latest being Smart Hulk. With nearly a decade passing, the return of Ross/Red Hulk, portrayed by Ford, will undoubtedly bring a fresh feel to the character.
Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk Will Be A Much-Needed Change of Pace
Among the captivating revelations from “Captain America: Brave New World,” I must admit one that stood out was the introduction of Samuel Sterns, portrayed by Tim Blake Nelson, as the antagonist. Though we had anticipated an engaging adversary for Sam Wilson, the twist of a gamma-related character and a potential Hulk battle was quite unexpected, particularly considering the new Captain America’s lack of superhuman strength. Interestingly, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” the series that established Sam Wilson as our new Cap, hinted at his non-powered status, which seems to be a recurring theme in this upcoming film with the possibility of Red Hulk emerging as the villain.
In a familiar setting given his work with blockbuster franchises such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford is set to fit seamlessly into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). His portrayal is certain to uphold the esteemed legacy left by the late William Hurt in his role. However, fans find themselves curious about how the character of Red Hulk will unfold within the MCU and whether Ford has agreed for multiple appearances in future films.
In the scenario presented, the character portrayed by Tim Blake Nelson, known as the Leader, poses a greater intellectual danger rather than physical one. Introducing Red Hulk as a physical menace seems logical under these circumstances. The intrigue hinted at in the trailer suggests that the President of the Marvel Cinematic Universe might transform into an enraged and mindless weapon. The outcome could significantly impact the ongoing Multiverse Saga.
