There have been multiple questions on how Sam Wilson's Captain America will take on the mighty Red Hulk and speculations are brewing around. Wilson does not have the superpower or enough strength like the original Captain America.

Steve Rogers carried the super soldier serum in him and even after that, he found it difficult to take on Bruce Banner's Green Hulk. Sam does not have such powers with him, but he can rely on more advanced tech.

Sam's wing-suit has bestowed him with amazing flying abilities, giving him an advantage. His vibranium shield and Wakanda-made armor have equipped him in ways that might be helpful during a fight against the Red Hulk. However, considering the incomprehensible strength and unique abilities of the latter, Sam still might need more power


Could Sam Wilson use Stark technology or get a Hulkbuster armor?

Sam Wilson will likely use the advanced Stark technology and upgrade his suit to become mighty enough to stop the Red Hulk. He might also use a brand-new variant of the Hulkbuster armor.

The audience has already got some hints about the hidden abilities in Sam Wilson's high-tech Captain America suit. Moreover, in Avengers: Age Of Ultron we have already seen non-superpowered heroes defeating Hulks, so it is supposedly the new technology that Sam Wilson will use to battle the Red Hulk.


Who is in the cast of Captain America: Brave New World?

Other than Anthony Mackie, who played Falcon in the previous films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Harrison Ford (popularly known for Indiana Jones), Top Gun: Maverick star Danny Ramirez will be portraying Joaquin Torres/Falcon.

The additional cast members are as follows:

  • Shira Haas as Sabra (Ruth Bat-Seraph)
  • Xosha Roquemore as a Secret Service agent
  • Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley
  • Giancarlo Esposito as Seth Voelker/Sidewinder
  • Liv Tyler as Betty Ross (Thaddeus Ross' daughter)
  • Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns/Leader
  • Takehiro Hira as Prime Minister Ozaki
  • Seth Rollins
