The upcoming movie, Captain America: Brave New World, promises a thrilling new chapter in the. Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While details remain scarce, a recent leak confirms the arrival of a major villain: Red Hulk.
This transformation may not come as a surprise to fans of General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, played by the legendary Harrison Ford.
Ross’s hatred of Hulk fuels his monstrous transformation in the comics. But here’s a breakdown of this complex character and his possible role in the .
From Military Leader to Monstrous Foe
General Ross has been a thorn in Bruce Banner’s side since the very beginning, appearing as early as 1962’s The Incredible Hulk #1. Primarily a military figure, Ross relentlessly pursued capturing and controlling Hulk. However, the comics took a drastic turn in 2008 with the introduction of Red Hulk.
Red Hulk’s Powers and Weaknesses
The strength and durability are as great as that of his Green counterpart. But It’s intelligence is maintained when you transform him, like Hulk.
He’s got a special ability to absorb energy, too. But It’s rage is a double-edged sword. While Hulk thrives on anger, It’s fury generates excess gamma radiation, causing him to overheat.
The Man Behind the Monster
For nearly two years, the identity of Red Hulk has been a mystery to comics readers. The shocking reveal? It’s none other than General Ross himself! Driven by his hatred for Hulk, Ross underwent a secret experiment that granted him monstrous power.
However, this transformation wasn’t entirely what Ross expected. Ross developed a newfound empathy for his former enemy as he watched Bruce Banner’s struggle within Hulk. He even joined forces with Hulk to defeat a group of supervillains.
From Enemy to Avenger (and Back Again)
The Red Hulk had no choice but to accept Captain America’s offer to join the Avengers when his human form appeared to have vanished.
He’s also leading his own version of the Thunderbolt team. Eventually, however, Bruce Banner drained his strength in order to rid the world of excess Hulks. This left Ross in a powerless shell, which ultimately led to his death in the comics.
Red Hulk’s Marvel Cinematic Universe Debut and Potential Conflict
The highly anticipated debut of Red Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be Captain America: Brave New World, and it’s also possible that Ross would return to comics. Harrison Ford, who takes over the role previously played by William Hurt, will also play an important part in this movie.
The movie seems to position Ross in a position of power – the President of the United States in the aftermath of the chaotic events of “Secret Invasion.” With the world still reeling from alien threats, Ross’s military background and experience with superpowered beings likely fueled his rise to leadership.
Early footage suggests a complex dynamic between Ford’s Ross and Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. While not openly antagonistic, Ross appears to advocate for a militaristic approach, potentially clashing with Sam’s ideals.
Red Hulk and the Thunderbolts
What remains to be seen is how Red Hulk fits into the upcoming Thunderbolts movie. Does Captain America: Brave New World lay the groundwork for this film? Would it be possible to name the Thunderbolts after Ross himself?
Is it possible that the disgraced Red Hulk has become a member of the Thunderbolts? These questions add a layer of intrigue to the upcoming. Marvel Cinematic Universe slate.
Conclusion
The arrival of Red Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe promises to be an exciting new chapter for Captain America and comic book universe.
His complex relationship with Hulk, his transformation from foe to (reluctant) ally, and his potential descent back into villainy make him a fascinating character to watch.
With the upcoming Captain’s movie: The Brave New World on the horizon, fans are eager to see how this legendary villain is brought to life on the big screen.
