After undergoing a significant post-production overhaul, Captain America: Brave New World debuted a thrilling trailer that had fans up in arms over Marvel Studios revealing Harrison Ford‘s President Thaddeus Ross as Red Hulk. Believing that the studio let the cat out of the bag too soon by revealing what many believed would be a surprise twist saved for the film’s third act, fans were mildly bewildered by Marvel’s decision. As it turns out, the studio may have another trick up its sleeve.
According to a report by industry insider Daniel RPK, The Walking Dead: Dead City and Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire actor Logan Kim has joined the MCU as Amadeus Cho. And while I’m not willing to spoil any plot details, I’ve been able to confirm that Cho will make an appearance (and a very minor one at that) in Captain America: Brave New World.
Introduced in the pages of Marvel Comics in 2005, Cho is one of the Marvel Universe’s smartest characters and was a child prodigy. In his earliest adventures, Cho befriended Hulk and became a sidekick of Hercules’. More recently, Cho absorbed the powers of Hulk from Bruce Banner and became the Totally Awesome Hulk. With ongoing rumors of Captain America: Brave New World potentially setting up a World War Hulks project, the appearance of Cho certainly seems more than a coincidence.
Rumors of a World War Hulk(s) project date back to 2021 when Geeks World Wide first reported that Marvel Studios was developing a project. At one point, it was believed that the studio had regained the rights to distribute a Hulk solo film and that they were ready to begin production on the film in 2022. Obviously, that didn’t happen and MCU star Mark Ruffalo downplayed the notion that such a project was in the works. Though the addition of Cho to the MCU in no way guarantees the studio is finally ready to move on the World War Hulks project, it also feels like it might just push the (green) door open a bit more.
