During yesterday evening's College Football National Championship game, a special Captain America: Brave New World sneak peek was shown. Marvel Studios is pulling out all the stops to raise awareness about the movie and, while it hasn't been officially released, a low-res recording has now found its way online.

We're not sure how the quality is quite this bad in 2025 (perhaps the person is still using a cell phone from the mid-2000s) but there's a great shot in the final 10 seconds or so of Red Hulk leaping into battle against Sam Wilson.

Hopefully, an HD version of this teaser will eventually be released but it's clear now that Marvel Studios doesn't want to show too much from that final battle between Captain America and the rampaging Commander in Chief.

In a recent interview, Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding explained the approach to bringing the villain to life on screen. "The Red Hulk in the comics is not entirely a monster. He has more of a human personality to him," he said. "So, we're trying to create something that felt a little bit more human to match Ross's personality."

"They do exist, yes," Meinerding said of artwork featuring Red Hulk with a mustache. "We're trying to make him stand a little bit more upright and have a bigger, broader chest and feel a little bit different and maybe slightly more intimidating through his more athletic posture. [Harrison Ford has] got one of the most identifiable faces in cinema history."

I've got my tickets. Excited for some good action

harryba11zack - 1/21/2025, 8:51 AM

I love how all the Gus footage they've shown is just him walking around an empty car park with a gun, did all the reshoots they did with him not include any interaction with the main actors? or is it just gonna be edited to make it look like they were on set together

vectorsigma - 1/21/2025, 9:17 AM

@harryba11zack - ths mcu way of doing things and it is tiring tbh. Just rewatched nwh in the background yesterday and the interactions of the spidermen with the villains on the liberty statie are headscratching. And i will never go near d&w again lolz

TheFinestSmack - 1/21/2025, 9:57 AM

@vectorsigma - thank you for being honest about the MCU way of doing things being tiring.

AllsGood - 1/21/2025, 9:00 AM

Bring on the Hulk(s)

Simonsonrules - 1/21/2025, 9:02 AM

Red Hulk would make for a nice thinly veiled metaphor but I just can't see past the prior military service. We've settled for orange and bone spurs, but gosh darn it we sure owned those libs!!!

AllsGood - 1/21/2025, 9:18 AM

@Simonsonrules - And Orange Bone Spurs Refused to put his Hand on the Bible.

Matchesz - 1/21/2025, 9:24 AM

@Simonsonrules - RedHulk was suppose to be a metaphor for ol Don but karma hit hollywood now he’s a metaphor for the LA fires

theBlackSquare - 1/21/2025, 9:52 AM

@AllsGood - He ain't gonna touch that book once he realised there's no white people in it.

AllsGood - 1/21/2025, 9:57 AM

Anthony Mackie Says Multiple Hulks Appear in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD

Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie has just revealed a Big Plot point in the movie during an interview with Entertainment Weekly at Comic-Con.

As he was talking about the movie, the actor mentioned that multiple Hulks will appear in the film! We already knew that Harrison Ford’s President Ross would transform into the Red Hulk, but now we can expect to see more Hulks.

Mackie said: "The events of Hulk and his film don't pertain to this movie at all, and when he shows up, not Red Hulk, the other Hulk- there are multiple Hulks..."

@AllsGood - You must have been too busy drooling to read the rest of the article:

"He goes on to say: "But there's only one Red Hulk, there's only one. When he shows up, his world, his universe, his story- it's completely separate from the way we utilize him in our story."

I assume that when Mackie says, "he," the actor is referring to Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk. It would make sense to see Ruffalo’s Hulk in the movie, and if that’s the cast maybe She-Hulk and his son Skaar will show up as well."

AllsGood - 1/21/2025, 10:06 AM

@CreateNowSlpL8r - Great News for me. Go Back to High School learn to read.

"He goes on to say: "But there's only one Red Hulk, there's only one. When he shows up, his world, his universe, his story- it's completely separate from the way we utilize him in our story."

Two seperate movies in one.

CreateNowSlpL8r - 1/21/2025, 11:26 AM

@AllsGood - So you think what, that all these Hulks are going to show up in this movie? What part am I not reading correctly?

OrgasmicPotatoe - 1/21/2025, 1:22 PM

@AllsGood - I, too, cannot wait to see Eric Bana back as the Hulk !

slickrickdesigns - 1/21/2025, 9:15 AM

I’m actually excited to see this movie.. it’ll be cool to see what they do with Sam and how he handles all the responsibilities of being Captain America and not being a super soldier fighting super villains.

vectorsigma - 1/21/2025, 9:18 AM

Flop city here we come

WhatIfRickJames - 1/21/2025, 9:18 AM

Uhh, a whole article for a shot less than a half a second, recorded on a cellphone?

theBlackSquare - 1/21/2025, 9:58 AM

@WhatIfRickJames - Bullshit isn't it? I guess CA:BNW is unfortunately a new front on the culture wars so Josh isn't gonna be pumping the hate breaks any time soon.

DocSpock - 1/21/2025, 9:20 AM

Red Hulk gonna get that raging hulk chub when he sees She-Hulk.

Rulk SMASH!!

MGSSnake1988 - 1/21/2025, 9:42 AM

Looks like the Leader is getting the Ant-Man 3 MODOK treatment of not showing up in the trailers.

It's goona take 'til next month if his return is a good thing or a mistake in Marvel's part, since nobody is talking about him.

TheFinestSmack - 1/21/2025, 9:50 AM

We don't need to see every single clip they release. It's all the same crap anyway.

CreateNowSlpL8r - 1/21/2025, 9:59 AM

over/under on Red Hulk being in more than 10 minutes of this movie?

AllsNotGood - 1/21/2025, 10:21 AM

@CreateNowSlpL8r - under easily. It's all going to be sam

AllsGood - 1/21/2025, 10:38 AM

@AllsNotGood -

"Bots Unite"

theBlackSquare - 1/21/2025, 10:05 AM

Excited to see the film, but this marketing is starting to curdle!

AnEye - 1/21/2025, 10:09 AM

My "theory" on how the climax will play out.

Ross will transform into Red Hulk during a speech, cause a lot of destruction that gets migrated to a whole area full of cherry blossom trees and regular trees. Sam learns of it, needs help to try to stop it. Help agrees to you know...help. Probably a catch phrase or one liner that is something like "I know how to stop him" where he hints at the vibranium by showing the suit or it powering on (possibly a "Chekovs Gun moment mentioned earlier in the movie)

Sam goes there, fights him with the help of others, learns how to tire him out or finds a weakness. Everyone comes together to tire him out (Rulks weakness) and Rulk transforms back. Sam and co somehow learn of The Leaders location. Probably someone working BTS trying to find him and they do during the climax. Cap finds The Leader, to which it becomes a battle of the minds with Cap coming out on top, Leader is arrested, Ross is arrested, Sam wants politicians to do a lot better next time.

All that in a span of less than 15 minutes.

After I saw crap 😂😂😂😂😂 on espn last year anything espn does I can not take seriously it was hard not keep straight face ?si=5odt9d8djwZBIiI1

dragon316 - 1/21/2025, 10:48 AM

@dragon316 - audio sucks in that video

LoganvsBanner - 1/21/2025, 11:08 AM

I’m definitely getting Captain America and the winter soldier vibes, and I hope I’m right, as that film is one of my favourites great action, hand to hand and the fight between Bucky and Cap at the bridge scene is a comic book wet dream. So fingers crossed it’s followed the same gritty, action. Especially with this being Red hulks first appearance on screen, I’m not getting the hope up but I can only Be a little optimistic that we will finally see a decent Banner/Hulk adaptation like in The Incredible Hulk!!

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/21/2025, 12:09 PM

@LoganvsBanner -
The filmmakers want to trick people into thinking it will be that good, but it won't be.

LoganvsBanner - 1/21/2025, 12:36 PM

@MakeAmericaGrea - respectfully I hope you’re wrong, but given marvel’s recent run nothing seems impossible atm, this is their next big return they need to get it right. I’m just not sold on the whole Sam/cap idea but who knows this is his time to shine hopefully. I didn’t rate Fatws unfortunately, Bucky is a favourite and complex character but they did him so bad in IW, EG, and Fatws. Again here’s hoping for a Good adaptation of hulk this time round bro

MakeAmericaGrea - 1/21/2025, 12:06 PM

I'm picturing all the basketball, baseball, and football fans who like many superhero and fantasy fans also won't see Not Captain America: New World Order in theater.

Can't wait to see Red Hulk wreck shit.
