“I mean, I guess you’ll have to wait and see. You know what I mean? But Harrison Ford, we couldn’t be more excited. Obviously, when you’ve got Han Solo or Indiana Jones involved in your film, it just increases the game. So we are excited to see [Anthony] Mackie and Harrison Ford in scenes together. I think it’s going to be fantastic.”
Can Harrison Ford become Red Hulk in the MCU?
While it seems unlikely that Ford’s Red Hulk will be a major villain in Captain America: New World Order, it’s entirely possible that the film will set up Ross’ transformation into the villain in a future MCU entry. The inclusion of Nelson’s Leader certainly suggests that Ross could become Red Hulk in Lightning strikes or another MCU movie down the road. Of She-Hulk: Lawyer with some subtle hints for an upcoming Hulk from the World War storyline, Marvel could be building a big Red Hulk reveal and a possible showdown with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk.
With a veteran actor like Ford hooked up to it, a Red Hulk storyline seems more likely than ever before. Hurt’s version of Ross has almost always been a supporting player in other heroes’ stories, but the decision to recast him with such a big name suggests that Marvel could have important plans for the character’s future. While there are still some questions about Ford’s role in Captain America: New World Order and Lightning strikesMoore’s most recent comment suggests that fans may have a lot to rave about in the coming years.
