Speculation about Harrison Ford appearing as the Red Hulk in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World film has been sparked by a new set photo. Ford, who will be playing Thunderbolt Ross, a character originated by the late William Hurt in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, has caused a stir on social media due to his damaged pants in the photo. Fans on Twitter have begun to speculate that this could be a tease for Ford's transformation into the Red Hulk in the film, which centers around Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson.
Will Captain America 4 Really Feature Thunderbolt Ross As Red Hulk?
Speculation has arisen about whether Harrison Ford will take on the role of Red Hulk in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World film. While there has been no official confirmation, a recent set photo has fuelled the rumours. Given the stature of Ford as an actor, it's unlikely that Marvel would cast him in a generic government role, and it's been suggested that Red Hulk could be the character's end goal. With Ford approaching 80, it's possible that he could pivot to voice acting for the character in his Hulk form in the future. This would certainly offer Ford the opportunity to do something different and please audiences in a new way.
The upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World appears to be a continuation of The Incredible Hulk storyline, with William Hurt reprising his role as Thunderbolt Ross, a key character from the Hulk's solo MCU movie. Fans can also anticipate the return of Tim Blake Nelson as the main villain, the Leader, as well as Liv Tyler as Ross' daughter, Betty. Both actors have been absent from the MCU since their debut in 2008. Rumors suggest that the film will center around the Leader's efforts to create an army of Hulks, leading some to speculate that Ross may transform into the Red Hulk.
