Harrison Ford Goes Full Hulk in New Captain America: Brave New World Trailer
The new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World has officially revealed Harrison Ford's transformation into the Red Hulk, making a dramatic entrance in his role as President Thaddeus Ross. This marks a significant turn for the character, previously portrayed by the late William Hurt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The trailer, which premiered at D23 Brazil, shows Ford's President Ross in a fierce confrontation with Anthony Mackie's Captain America.
The trailer opens with Sam Wilson (Mackie) visiting Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) in prison, setting the tone for a tense and action-packed narrative. Sam’s line, “You asked for me? Here I am,” can be seen as a nod to fans’ expectations for Sam to succeed Steve Rogers as Captain America. The scene quickly shifts to flashbacks of Isaiah Bradley attempting to assassinate President Ross, suggesting a key turning point in the storyline. Isaiah’s amnesia regarding the assassination attempt raises questions about his involvement in the events that led to his incarceration.
The trailer further introduces Ruth Bat-Seraph (Shira Haas), a former Black Widow, who informs Ross about the assassination attempt, describing it as a well-coordinated terrorist attack. Ross, now president, reflects on his wartime experience, stating, “I was a wartime general. Now I’m a wartime president,” reinforcing the high stakes of the upcoming conflict. The imagery of large maritime battles, including Sam and Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) zooming between missiles, hints at the global scale of the movie’s action.
Intriguing visuals also suggest a connection to the 2021 film Eternals, with giant fingers made of rock or metal visible in some shots. These appear to be remnants of the celestial that emerged from the ocean in that film. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) delivers a chilling voiceover as Sam prepares for battle, questioning whether Captain America is truly in control of his actions. Giancarlo Esposito’s character, Sidewinder, is also introduced, adding a new layer of mystery to the plot.
The most climactic moment of the trailer comes when President Ross collapses during a White House press conference, his body starting to morph into the Red Hulk. As he emerges from flames, fully transformed, the scene sets the stage for an epic showdown between the new Captain America and the formidable Red Hulk. “You want me? Come and get me!” Sam taunts, setting the stage for a thrilling confrontation against a powerful adversary.
This trailer has raised the stakes for Captain America: Brave New World, teasing high-octane action, political intrigue, and the introduction of one of Marvel's most iconic transformations. Fans are left eagerly anticipating how these developments will unfold in the next chapter of the MCU.
