No Red Hulk For Captain America: Civil War

With William Hurt reprising as General Thunderbolt Ross from The Incredible Hulk movie for Captain America: Civil War, some fans online speculated the Red Hulk might make an appearance.

Now in an interview with the Chinese press, Anthony and Joe Russo shoot down an appearance by the Red Hulk.

“There’s always a chance in Marvel you could see anything, but let’s say: There is no Red Hulk in Civil War.”

The Russo’s also offer a description of the role Ross will be playing in Captain America: Civil War.

“General Ross is a big presence in Civil War. He’s a character who was ham-fisted in his approach in The Incredible Hulk. I think that’s a polite way to put it. And I think he’s learned from his over-aggressiveness in that movie and he’s become more of a politicaian. He’s much savvier now, and he’s cornering the Avengers. Superheroes have always been anathema to him; he’s not a fan of them. So now he’s come at them strategically, by aligning the world against them and cornering them… I think you’ll find he’s grown as a character, he’s different than he was in Incredible Hulk, and he’s a more formidable, policital opponent to him.”
