It looks like Red Hulk, played by Harrison Ford, might not have as much screen time in Captain America: Brave New World as many fans hoped. Reports suggest his total appearance could be as short as four minutes, which matches earlier rumors about a brief fight scene with Captain America, who Anthony Mackie now plays.
Although trailers have shown Red Hulk, there are concerns that he may not play a big part in the film. A recent Marvel featurette featured just one frame of him, leading to more speculation about his limited role. While promotional materials like posters and teasers have emphasized the showdown between Red Hulk and Captain America, some fans are worried that the screen time won’t match the marketing hype.
The rumored fight is said to last around five minutes, which feels short given the buildup in the film. However, it’s worth noting that reshoots took place recently, which might change Red Hulk’s role. The director, Julius Onah, has expressed enthusiasm about including Red Hulk and highlighted the character’s importance to the story. He also mentioned the chemistry between Mackie and Ford and how relatable Red Hulk’s anger is.

The plot centers on Sam Wilson, now Captain America, as he uncovers a global conspiracy after meeting with President Thaddeus Ross. The marketing keeps pointing to the final battle between Captain America and Red Hulk, featuring exciting action scenes set against beautiful cherry blossoms.
If Red Hulk’s screen time is indeed limited, it could disappoint fans who expected more. Still, the film promises many surprises and focuses on the performances of Mackie and Ford. The main story follows Sam Wilson’s journey as Captain America and his investigation. The movie is set to be released on February 14, 2025, and we’ll get more clarity on Red Hulk’s role once it comes out.
