Captain America Faces Red Hulk in Brave New World Trailer

Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is establishing himself as the new Captain America and facing multiple threats in the process. Marvel released a new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World, showing Sam’s new capabilities and his confrontation with Red Hulk.

It all starts when Sam visits Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) after the older man was arrested for attacking President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford), though it appears that he was being controlled by someone else. In a tense conversation, Sam warns the president that his inner circle has been compromised and the president counters by telling Sam that he’s “not Steve Rogers.”

Cut to Sam flying into action with upgraded wings, while investigating what has America on the brink of war. The trailer introduces Ruth Bat-Seraph (Shira Haas), a former Black Widow, who works with President Ross, and briefly shows villain Sidewinder (Giancarlo Esposito). It culminates in the moment that President Ross becomes Red Hulk and the inevitable confrontation with Captain America.

Captain America: Brave New World will be the first of three MCU films coming out in 2025. It will be followed by Thunderbolts* on May 2, which wraps up Phase 5, and then Fantastic Four: First Steps will begin Phase 6 on July 25.

The movie is directed by Julius Onah (Luce), based on a script by Dalan Musson and Malcolm Spellman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Matthew Orton (Moon Knight). It also stars Danny Ramirez, Rosa Salazar, and Colby Lopez (WWE wrestler Seth Rollins) is making his film debut. Tim Blake Nelson and Liv Tyler, who starred in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, are reprising their roles as Samuel Sterns and Betty Ross, respectively.

Captain America: Brave New World debuts in theaters on February 14, 2025.
