The teasers for Captain America: Brave New World offered an exclusive look at their latest evil face to battle a hero. It gave a peek into the huge Red Hulk, who can squash anything in his way, at least from the looks of it. This time, the beloved Han Solo, Harrison Ford puts on this angry face to be the biggest adversary in front of a hero. Much like Mark Ruffalo's green monster, Ford's character grows monumentally if and when provoked.

Considering Red Hulk's massive scale and size, the Marvel fans might be wondering how Anthony Mackie's Captain America will battle him. After all, Mackie's Sam Wilson is nowhere as big as Red Hulk. When prepped against the gigantic villain, he needs something unique going for himself. So, the brains behind the upcoming Captain America flick recently shared how they will level the playing field for Wilson, who needs to face Red Hulk and subdue his anger.

Captain America: Brave New World producer Nate Moore and the head of Marvel's visual department, Ryan Meinerding, were among a few people who recently spoke with EW. They shared some crucial details about the fight between Red Hulk and Captain America. Let's find out what they had to say.


Captain America: Brave New World: Red Hulk vs Captain America fight

Sam Wilson's Captain America is nowhere as big as Thadeus Ross's Red Hulk. So, to fight this huge villain, Captain America needs something specific since he is not a super soldier. That's where Captain America's Shield comes into play. It will likely help Wilson fight a just battle against Red Hulk. Besides Steve Rogers's Shield, he will have another vibranium tool to combat Ford's furious character. It happens to be his legendary wingsuit.

While speaking about this decision, Moore said,

"What are you going to do? We're very conscious of not having the movie feel disingenuous. So, giving Sam equipment to survive is different than giving Sam equipment to succeed."

Besides Moore, the visual effects supervisor from Wētā FX, Dan Cox, spoke about his creative process in Captain America: Brave New World. He reveals what went into creating the iconic fight scene between Red Hulk and Captain America. The fight sequence reportedly contains more than 300 VFX shots and takes place across multiple environments of different kinds. While speaking about the choreography, Cox said,

"We had to choreograph the fight sequences to allow him to constantly be using those as, basically, two additional limbs so that he can take the Hulk punches from time to time, but he does everything he can to avoid those anyway. You'll see it in the action sequence; it's not fun when he gets hit."

Captain America: Brave New World is set to release in theaters on February 14, 2025.
