The Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen its fair share of spoiler leaks over the years, with actors like Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo known for accidentally revealing details. However, Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson, aka Falcon and the new Captain America, recently dropped a bombshell about the movie “Captain America: Brave New World”. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he, along with fellow stars Harrison Ford, Danny Ramirez, Tim Blake Nelson, and Giancarlo Esposito, revealed a significant detail about an established MCU character, potentially annoying Marvel Studios’ head honcho Kevin Feige.
Mackie and his co-stars didn’t seem particularly upset or embarrassed about the reveal. It’s possible that they’ve been given permission to discuss certain details without going into too much depth. If not, Feige might be at home right now, frowning and lamenting how the studio has another situation on its hands similar to what happened with Holland. So, what exactly did Mackie say, and is it something we should be excited about?

Mackie and Ford’s exchange went like this:
Mackie: “The events of Hulk and his film don’t pertain to this movie at all.”
Ford: “Aw, come on, man!”
Mackie: “When he shows up… Not Red Hulk! The other Hulk! There are multiple Hulks! So, when he shows up…”
Ford: “There are?”
Mackie: “Yeah. But there’s only one Red Hulk.”
Ford: “Good.”
Mackie: “There’s only one.”
Ford: “Okay, man. Good.”
Mackie: “That’s it. Solid. There will never be another Red Hulk.”
Ford: “I’m happy! Okay go on, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.”
Mackie: “When he shows up, his world, his universe, his story, is completely separate from what… the way we utilize him in our story.”
There you have it – Mackie’s big reveal was that the original Hulk from the MCU, played by Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner, will appear in “Captain America: Brave New World.” This will likely lead to an epic showdown between the Red Hulk and Hulk. So, to clarify, yes, fans have every reason to be excited.
Also, Mackie mentioned “multiple Hulks,” suggesting that characters like She-Hulk and Skaar might appear as well. This is just speculation at this point. If any of this turns out to be true, it would be a huge relief for Sam Wilson, as he seems to be outmatched in his fight against Red Hulk, even with the help of other non-superpowered heroes like Joaquin Torres, the new Falcon played by Ramirez. It’s worth noting that Ford recently pretended not to know who Red Hulk was, so it’s possible that there’s some misdirection going on with Mackie’s comments. However, it seems unlikely they would get fans’ hopes up about a Ruffalo appearance if it wasn’t happening, so we can assume it is.
We don’t have to wait too long to find out, as Captain America: Brave New World will be released in theaters worldwide in February 2025.
