Summary

Marvel had to show Red Hulk’s appearance in *Captain America: Brave New World* because his details would inevitably leak regardless of the secrecy measures in place, director Julius Onah explained. He acknowledged that keeping such a prominent villain under wraps is nearly impossible today and highlighted how Marvel has handled other villains differently, often teasing them partially but reserving full reveals for the film itself. In contrast, *Brave New World* seemed to overexpose Red Hulk, potentially undermining the surprise element fans anticipated.
