In a much-anticipated move, Marvel has finally given fans a sneak peek of Captain America: Brave New World, and it’s safe to say the trailer is packed with heart-pounding moments. The spotlight is now firmly on Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, as he squares off against one of Marvel’s most formidable foes yet – the Red Hulk.
This new installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe sees Sam Wilson truly stepping into his role as Captain America after inheriting the shield from Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame. In Brave New World, Sam will be tested in ways that he, and his viewers, could never have imagined. From what the trailer shows, Sam’s journey will be a high-stakes battle between hope and destruction.
The biggest shocker? The trailer teases that the Red Hulk – a terrifying, rage-fueled version of the Hulk – will be making his first MCU appearance, and it’s shaping up to be a fierce showdown. The Red Hulk is none other than General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, a familiar character played by Harrison Ford, who joins the MCU in this powerful new role after taking over from the late William Hurt. The transformation of Ross into the Red Hulk represents a turning point in Marvel’s Phase 5, as he shifts from antagonist to outright monster, bringing a new level of threat to Captain America’s mission.
The trailer also offers a first look at the incredible cast, including Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, who takes up the mantle of the Falcon, and Tim Blake Nelson reprising his role as the Leader from The Incredible Hulk (2008). These returning and new allies highlight the complex team dynamics Sam will need to balance as he faces his biggest battle yet.
Marvel fans have already taken to social media, sharing their excitement over Anthony Mackie’s new Captain America, who brings a fresh, grounded energy to the character. The Red Hulk’s addition has particularly ramped up fan theories about future Marvel plotlines, including a potential Hulk versus Red Hulk showdown or further exploration of the “Thunderbolts” storyline within the MCU.
Set for release in July 2025, Captain America: Brave New World promises to bring a new chapter to Marvel’s epic story, one filled with suspense, big battles, and emotional growth for Sam Wilson. As fans eagerly await more footage, the trailer has already cemented Brave New World as one of Marvel’s most highly anticipated films in recent memory.
In the meantime, viewers are left to wonder: can Sam Wilson’s Captain America stand up to the unstoppable force of the Red Hulk? The battle for the title of Marvel’s mightiest hero has just begun.
