Captain America 4 Debut Explorer: A Dark MCU Theory Red Hulk
As President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross turns into the ferocious Red Hulk in "Captain America: Brave New World," get ready for an exciting turn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Along with a lot of questions, including how Ross, now the President of the United States, will become the Red Hulk, this much awaited premiere generates. A convincing theory, however, points to a sinister and unanticipated beginning for this venerable Marvel villain.
Ross becomes Red Hulk under the Leader's Vengeance.
The theory holds that Ross's metamorphosis into the Red Hulk may have been inspired by Samuel Sterns, the brilliant but twisted supervillain known as The Leader. The Leader's comeback in "Captain America: Brave New World" promises an interesting background based on his need for retribution against Ross, who compelled him to spend sixteen years working as a scientist.
Driven by his resentment, The Leader could use his knowledge of gamma radiation and Ross's frantic attempts to save his daughter, Betty, to control the events and exact his retribution as the theory goes. This might cause the Leader to develop a twisted Red Hulk serum meant to heal Betty's illness but with unanticipated effects on Ross.
The MCU's Future Affected by Betty Ross
According to this view, Betty Ross dies in "Captain America: Brave New World" and things get dark. Particularly for Bruce Banner, who has a past with Betty, this sad incident might set off a series of events. The news of Betty's passing might set Banner's primal wrath ablaze, so releasing the "Savage Hulk," a more pure and forceful form of the Hulk.
The much-rumored "World War Hulk" adaptation in the MCU may find a stage thanks in part to the Savage Hulk returning. The wrath of The Hulk driven by his loss might cause a terrible outburst endangering many heroes. The Leader's actions would directly lead to this situation, which would also serve as a sobering reminder of the perils of unbridled authority and retribution.
Captain America: Original Villain Story from Brave New World
This idea differs from the usual MCU villain story in which the actions of the villains are motivated by power thirst. Based on the Leader's retribution and Ross's desperation to save his daughter, the theory proposes a far more complicated and far deeper backstory for the Red Hulk. This unanticipated development gives the next movie a fresh and fascinating dynamic.
Future of the MCU and Rising Red Hulk
Particularly as President Ross's metamorphosis might open doors to a darker, more politically charged story, the Red Hulk's entrance in the MCU marks a new chapter in the franchise. The possible arrival of the Savage Hulk adds layers of complexity and drama to the current narratives, so further complicating the MCU terrain.
Marvel Studios is ready to venture into uncharted ground with "Captain America: Brave New World," adding nuanced characters and narratives that challenge the MCU. The release of the movie promises an exciting journey full of action, suspense, and maybe the ascent of one of the most powerful adversaries in the MCU.
