Massive Marvel Showdown: Harrison Ford's Red Hulk vs Thunderbolts - Is This the Ultimate Setup for Captain America 4?

Marvel's Thunderbolts movie unveils an thrilling fan poster, hinting at an epic confrontation between the team and Harrison Ford's Red Hulk. Led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, this covert team has been meticulously assembled over time. The Thunderbolts consist of a diverse roster of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, David Harbour's Red Guardian, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes, Wyatt Russell's John Walker, and Hannah John-Kamen's Ghost. There are strong rumors circulating that Ford will make a significant appearance as Red Hulk. Recently, digital artist @marvels.wolverine shared their own rendition of a fan poster on Instagram, depicting the team uniting against Ford's formidable Red Hulk.

Given how most of the Thunderbolts are similar in terms of power and fighting style, going up against Red Hulk would be a major challenge for the team.

Why Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk Makes Sense For Thunderbolts

Ford assumes the part of Thunderbolt Ross succeeding the late William Hurt. Marvel Studios' decision to recast the role signifies their ambitious plans for the character in the MCU. This confirmation came from Kevin Feige himself, who disclosed that Ford's Ross holds the esteemed position of the President of the United States in Captain America: Brave New World. Consequently, Ford's upcoming debut as Ross instantly enhances the character's significance in the MCU.

The content fragment has been rewritten:

Rumors suggest that the character will make an appearance in Thunderbolts, a movie centered around the team that shares his nickname. In the comics, Ross has been a member of the Thunderbolts as the Red Hulk, and considering Ford's age of 80, it's reasonable to assume that the MCU may have already offered him the role, potentially transitioning to a voice-over part in the future.

Although there is currently no confirmation of Ford's involvement in Thunderbolts, speculation about the Red Hulk has been fueled by a recent set photo from Captain America 4. The photo reveals Ford in torn pants, hinting at Ross's transformation into the Red Hulk at some point in the film. Given the character's association with the Thunderbolts in the comics, it would make sense for him to be included in the movie. Additionally, introducing the Red Hulk would be a valuable addition to the team, especially if the rumored villain, Sentry, who possesses Superman-like powers, is featured. Should this rumor prove true, the Thunderbolts will require all the assistance they can get in Marvel's upcoming film.
