Red Hulk was featured (albeit briefly) in the first teaser trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, but Marvel fans were quick to express their disappointment that this reveal wasn\u2019t saved for theaters. However, director Julius Onah told Empire<\/a> that he didn\u2019t think keeping Red Hulk out of the marketing would have been possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think so,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re making a movie like this, an announcement goes out that Harrison Ford is going to play Thaddeus Ross, and you have a fandom as massive and as passionate as the MCU fandom is, you\u2019re toast at that point, you know? In a perfect-case scenario, it would have been awesome [if ] that [had been] an in-theatre surprise, but I think it would have been very difficult. Somewhere along the way, a toy would have been found, or somebody would have leaked a trailer. It\u2019s just so hard to keep anything secret in today\u2019s day and age.\u201c<\/p>\n

Of course, the debate over whether Red Hulk should have been shown in the movie\u2019s trailers was just one problem faced by the film. Brave New World underwent extensive reshoots, with several characters being cut out of the film entirely, including Rosa Salazar\u2019s Diamondback and Seth Rollins\u2019 King Cobra. Tim Blake Nelson\u2019s Leader was also completely redesigned<\/a> during the reshoots. Initially, the character had a comic-accurate appearance, complete with a goatee, but the redesign gave him a far more deformed look.<\/p>\n

Our own Chris Bumbray didn\u2019t hate Brave New World, but he wasn\u2019t overly impressed either. \u201cMy biggest gripe is that for all the comparisons to The Winter Soldier, the action is weak, with virtually none of the action scenes any better than what you\u2019d see on a Disney Plus show,\u201d Bumbray wrote. \u201cWhile not a disaster, Brave New World feels like more of a chore to sit through than it should be. If you manage your expectations, there\u2019s some fun to be had watching Ford and Mackie go mano-a-mano, but Marvel movies shouldn\u2019t feel this dull.\u201d You can check out the rest of his review right here<\/a>. Captain America: Brave New World is now available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD<\/a>, and is also available to stream on Disney+<\/a>.<\/p>\n
