Want to Know How Sam Wilson Can Fight the Red Hulk? Anthony Mackie Has the Answer!

Captain America: Brave New World, one of Marvel’s biggest upcoming projects (based on the short-term release schedule), is presently scheduled for release on February 14, 2025. Although Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers from the previous films will be replaced by Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America in the film, the movie will introduce other characters and provide us with a series of surprises.

Despite the fact that Sam Wilson is a very popular character from the MCU, many fans are still yearning for Chris Evans, which is why the movie decided to bring in the big guns to attract the fans, and by big guns, we mean Red Hulk. Yes, Thaddeus Ross is finally becoming the Red Hulk in the movie and the fans will get to enjoy it.

But, while we know that Sam Wilson is going to engage the Red Hulk in the movie, many fans are wondering how the new Captain America will be able to fight the Red Goliath. Well, if you’re wondering that, Anthony Mackie has the answer!

And so do we! Namely, Mackie was present at the Disney APAC Content Showcase in Singapore, and among the many things he discussed was how his character from the movie is planning on fighting against the Red Hulk. He has a pretty good and elaborate answer, so here it is in full:

Sam’s evolution is simple. He’s still a counsellor. He’s still serving soldiers, but at the same time, now he’s a leader of his community in the country. It’s very different with the serum – you can fight anybody. When you don’t have the serum, you have to be smart and engineer different ways of defeating [enemies].

With Sam, him being a counselor, he uses more of his brains than brawn. He uses more of his wit than his fist. He’s more of a friend to everyone.

It’s a high-tech suit. I went to Wakanda, met with everybody in Wakanda, we had dinner. It was a great time. They threw me a welcome party. It was dope. But when I was leaving, they gave me a suit, right? I put it on. I can kick harder, I can fly faster, and it gives me the ability to be more agile in my skills, so it’s taking all my skills to a completely different level.

As you can see, he has some power-ups in the movie and that will make the fight interesting, we are certain of it. Before closing the discussion, he also teased a very different movie from the ones we’ve seen before:

If you look at these Marvel movies, they go with different genres. You have the fantasy world, you have the space world, you have the raccoon world. With the Captain America stories, it has always been the realistic, grounding world. This movie stays in the line with the original Captain America, of that thrill, of that espionage, of that grounded nature with storytelling and really investing the actual audience into the story.
