Prior to its release in cinemas, “Captain America: Brave New World” experienced numerous alterations and adjustments, a common occurrence for large-budget movies throughout history. The film’s title was changed, and production was halted during the 2023 actors’ and writers’ strikes, giving director Julius Onah an opportunity to substantially modify the movie’s direction compared to other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the sequel now playing in theaters, Onah has discussed some of the changes made during production, which include resolving the character arcs of Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross and Red Hulk.
WARNING: Spoilers below for Captain America: Brave New World
In the film, Ross regularly consumes pills Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) assures are for heart health, but it’s later discovered that they contain radiation, leading to a process similar to what made Bruce Banner transform into the Hulk. At the end of the movie, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson defeats Red Hulk in battle, causing Ross to be incarcerated at the Raft, apparently leaving Red Hulk out of the picture.
Regarding the possibility of permanently eliminating Red Hulk in the storyline, the filmmaker admitted there were minor adjustments made, but nothing substantial enough to suggest a permanent end for him.
In an interview with Variety, Onah acknowledged that there were multiple variations of the storyline. Although no version showed him dying outright, some scenarios hinted at uncertainty about his fate following the events in the movie. However, as we’re all aware, it’s quite challenging for a beloved character like The Hulk to meet his end.
In a sneak peek of the series Brave New World and photos from its filming, there’s a scene showing Sam Wilson, Betty Ross (played by Liv Tyler), and others attending what appears to be a funeral. The casket in this scene is draped with an American flag, leading some viewers to speculate that this might be the funeral of Betty Ross. If this assumption is correct, it’s possible that an alternative ending for the series could have shown Ross being severely injured and taken captive, while the public was made to believe she had died.
In the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and superhero movies in general, it’s challenging to believe anyone is truly dead for good. However, by the end of ‘Brave New World’, Ross expressing remorse and regret for his actions provides a sense of finality for his character arc, offering a more satisfying conclusion.
Captain America: Brave New World is in theaters now.
