Giancarlo Esposito’s Marvel Mystery Role Has Been Unveiled and Harrison Ford Talks Playing Red Hulk in ‘Captain America: Brave New World’
While much is being made of Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the upcoming arrival of the Fantastic Four, the next Marvel film to hit theaters will be Captain America: Brave New World.
The fourth installment in the Captain America franchise will see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson assuming the mantle of Captain America for the first time on the big screen. Joining Mackie will be stars Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez, Liv Tyler, Giancarlo Esposito, and Harrison Ford, who will assume the role of Thunderbolt Ross from the late William Hurt.

“I am so happy to be in the MCU. I’m happy that you don’t know what I’m doing there and I’m happy that I probably don’t know what I’m doing there, but I’m happy to be there and you’re going to see it soon,” he teased last month.
