Harrison Ford Makes A Colorful Entrance Into MCU
Veteran actor Harrison Ford is stepping into a new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), portraying Thunderbolt Ross and introducing the character of Red Hulk. This adds on to the long list of iconic roles the actor has played, cementing his popularity among fans of nerd culture. However, Ford's transition into the MCU came with an unexpected color twist.
The Green Hulk Confusion
In a recent interview with IGN, Harrison Ford humorously confessed that he expected his Hulk character to be green, not red. The actor was reportedly startled on realizing his Hulk would be of another hue. “Well, I had no idea I was going to be red. It's not my color,” said Ford. Given the choice, the actor admitted he would favor a green Hulk, just like Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner and Tatiana Maslany's She-hulk character.
With the MCU making moves into the multiverse, Harrison's preference might lead to intriguing possibilities for his character.
Potential Future Role For Ford in MCU
Maestro, an impressive and dangerous villain in the Marvel Multiverse, could be a viable character for Ford. Maestro wields the power and abilities of the Hulk, with an added twist of a deranged Bruce Banner's intellect. Given Ford's preference for a green Hulk, he could be a perfect fit for this character in any potential MCU multiverse storylines.
World War Hulk Rumors Spark Excitement
As rumors of a potential World War Hulk movie circulate, the appearance of Maestro might provide a formidable antagonist for other Hulk-like characters, including Thunderbolt Ross or She-Hulk. However, any standalone Hulk film would warrant a split between Disney and Universal.
In such a scenario, the movie might require the lead to be a Hulk-associated character. Characters such as Rick Jones, Doc Samson, or even Skaar could be considered for the lead role. There are also ongoing rumors of a Wolverine vs Hulk movie development by Marvel, where Maestro could make his debut as the ‘Hulk'.
Closing Remarks
Harrison Ford's unexpected MCU debut as the Red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World, set to hit theatres on February 14th, 2025, will be a momentous occasion for MCU fans. With Ford's eye for the green Hulk, it could open up thrilling plot directions within MCU's expanding multiverse. Given his tremendous fan-following, any role Ford embraces would undoubtedly elevate MCU's franchise. The sky is truly the limit in the MCU multiverse!
