The MCU has previously seen the appearance of another Hulk. Variants of the Hulk with varying degrees of power are the She-Hulk, Abomination, and Skaar. In addition to being red rather than green, Red Hulk possesses a power that no other Hulk has, making him possibly the most powerful Hulk to date. According to an upcoming Captain America 4 toy, he will possess a power that is identical to that of his comic book counterpart, making him more powerful than the Hulk but also more susceptible. I have to witness Hulk battle Red Hulk now that I’ve learned about his new power, even though I don’t know what his next project will be.

Marvel tries to keep spoilers a secret, but toys and other merchandise can often reveal important details that the studio wants to keep under wraps. This may have happened again with an upcoming Hasbro Red Hulk action figure. The toy’s description confirms two important details. The first detail is that Red Hulk is “a monster of Samuel Sterns’ making,” meaning The Leader is pulling the strings that lead to Thunderbolt Ross’ transformation. This isn’t surprising as Tim Blake Nelson’s The Leader is one of the film’s confirmed villains.
