Brave New World: How Captain America Defeats Red Hulk (Spoilers Inside!)

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World.

Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World is in theaters now. The film contains a massive CGI fight between Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Red Hulk (Harrison Ford) — the main highlight of the movie. The five-minute fight sequence shows Wilson using his full potential — with his Vibranium suit — to fight the Red Hulk.

In the final battle, Captain America fights Red Hulk after Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) reveals President Thaddeus Ross’s secret, causing him to transform into Red Hulk. Angry and out of control, Ross starts destroying Washington, D.C.

Does Captain America Defeat Red Hulk?

Sam Wilson uses his Vibranium wings to absorb and release energy against Red Hulk. He leads Ross to a cherry blossom field, hoping to remind him of his daughter, Betty (Liv Tyler), and calm him down. Then, Wilson knocks Ross down with the stored energy from his wings. Even though he is hurt, Wilson speaks to Ross and helps him return to his normal self.

What Happens to Red Hulk (Thaddeus Ross) After the Battle?

After regaining control, Ross decides to have himself incarcerated at the Raft. Later, both Sam Wilson and Betty Ross visit him there.
