Marvel Studios has revealed the first look at President Ross’ transformation into Red Hulk in the MCU, and it will likely feature some key differences from the original Hulk. As seen in trailers and promotions for Captain America: Brave New World, it’s been revealed that Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross will finally become the Red Hulk, just like his counterpart in the original comics. To that end, there are some notable comic differences between the red and green Hulks that will likely transfer to the big screen.
Originally a general with a personal vendetta against Bruce Banner’s Hulk, Ross debuted in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk and eventually became Secretary of State as seen in future MCU appearances (originally played by the late William Hurt). Now, Captain America: Brave New World is set to debut Ross as the new President of the United States, played by Harrison Ford. However, it’s also been confirmed that Ross will at some point transform into the Red Hulk in front of the White House itself. To that end, some key distinctions will likely be revealed between Red Hulk’s transformations and the original Hulk’s in the MCU.
