While Harrison Ford’s role in the movie was confirmed, his transformation into the Red Hulk has been a mystery that neither of the parties involved are talking about. However, the new leaked promotional art appears to confirm this change and how. The picture does look promising, and fans are hoping the film will also be such a journey.
More recently, the first official stills from the movie were released, showcasing Anthony Mackie as the returning Sam Wilson, now wielding Steve Rogers’ iconic vibranium shield. These images suggest a meeting between Wilson and Ross, where Ross tasks Wilson with the mission of reassembling The Avengers.
In footage shown at CinemaCon, Ross welcomes Wilson to the White House to commend his past heroism. However, chaos ensues when music triggers sleeper agent assassins, including Carl Lumbly’s Isaiah Bradley, who attempt to assassinate the President. Now, a leaked animation hints at an enraged Red Hulk. It’s nothing but a waiting game now to see how this all plays out.
Red Hulk Appearance in Brave New World Delights Fans, Seemingly Addresses Mark Ruffalo Issue
Mark Ruffalo stands out as one of the kindest actors in Hollywood. Despite the Hulk’s character requiring tap into a certain darkness and anger, Ruffalo approached it uniquely. While the Hulk could be ruthless, Ruffalo crafted a character with emotional depth.
Drawing inspiration from the original TV series starring Bill Bixby, Ruffalo perceived the Hulk as a misunderstood figure. Thus, he opted for a portrayal that showcased a multi-layered, emotionally complex man-beast. At his core, the Hulk is a decent individual but struggles with serious anger management issues.
While Edward Norton leaned towards total destruction, fans seemed to prefer the Hulk in that vein. Although they don’t intend to discredit Ruffalo’s efforts, a touch of violence is almost expected with the Hulk.
So, when fans finally see a big, angry red giant, they’re thrilled. Here’s what they have to say about the situation.
I love it
