Fans of the MCU, despite some recent disappointments, remain hopeful for a revival, especially with the upcoming release of *Captain America: Brave New World*. This film features Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, taking on the mantle of Captain America and facing off against Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus Ross, who becomes Red Hulk. The narrative promises themes of morality and duty, raising questions about Wilson’s abilities against a formidable opponent. The film hits theaters on February 12, 2025.
While many fans may have turned their backs on the MCU since the conclusion of the Infinity Stones saga, there remains a dedicated group of viewers eager for a revival. Despite some underwhelming projects, there have been standout hits post-Avengers: Endgame, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the latest series Agatha All Along. Marvel is gearing up to continue its cinematic journey with the upcoming release of Captain America: Brave New World.
Harrison Ford Takes the Helm as Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World
With the successful release of Deadpool & Wolverine rekindling hope among skeptics, many fans who had previously lost interest are now eager to catch up. The next installment in the Marvel cinematic universe, Captain America, promises to be familiar territory. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame and the series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it will be Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), also known as Falcon, who takes up the iconic shield instead of Steve Rogers.
Although glimpses of the film have been shared through images and teasers, Disney recently unveiled a brand new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World during the D23 event in Brazil. This trailer presents a thrilling blend of action and suspense, characteristic of the Captain America saga. However, the spotlight shines on Harrison Ford, who steps into the role of Thaddeus Ross, now serving as the President of the United States and soon to be revealed as Red Hulk in this exciting new chapter. Don’t miss the trailer linked at the top of the article!
A Pivotal Conflict that Raises Concerns for MCU Fans
The upcoming Captain America film will certainly put the new hero to the test. Facing off against Red Hulk, particularly when he is also the President, represents a significant challenge for Sam Wilson, who is expected to protect such an influential figure. Themes of morality and duty are expected to play a central role in this narrative, even as audiences eagerly anticipate an epic showdown.
Nevertheless, this confrontation has sparked some debate among discerning fans. Unlike Steve Rogers, who benefited from the super-soldier serum, Sam Wilson remains a highly skilled but entirely normal human (albeit armed with advanced mechanical wings and a vibranium shield). Comparatively, Iron Man’s ability to withstand Hulk’s power came from his Hulk Buster suit. Given that even Thor faced difficulties against Hulk, some fans are curious about how Sam Wilson will match up against Thaddeus Ross, even if Ross may not possess the same level of strength as Bruce Banner. The answers will unfold in Captain America: Brave New World, slated for release on February 12, 2025, in French theaters.
Recently, Disney and Marvel made waves with the release of Deadpool and Wolverine. Following this triumph, Ryan Reynolds is eager to collaborate once again with Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy, as they work on a new film together.
