The Marvel Cinematic Universe might have delivered a major hit with its last film, Deadpool & Wolverine, but its overall buzz remains on shaky ground. The true test for the MCU lies in the potential success of its upcoming film, Captain America: Brave New World, which marks Anthony Mackie’s first major screen appearance as the new Captain America, following his transition from Falcon (as seen in the Disney+ series Falcon and The Winter Soldier). This film also features the MCU debut of Hollywood veteran Harrison Ford, who replaces the late William Hurt as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross. Captain America: Brave New World is directed by Julius Onah. ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Trailer: From Red Hulk to Tiamut, 5 Plot Theories Confirmed in First Promo of Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford’s Marvel Film!

We have compiled five of these leaks below, though be warned that they could either be significant SPOILERS or just intriguing but unrealistic fan theories.
1. Logan Kim Cast as Amadeus Cho
Amadeus Cho
In the Marvel comics, Amadeus Cho is a Korean-American character who eventually becomes a Hulk. It seems the MCU is set to introduce yet another Hulk, following Bruce Banner, Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk), and Thaddeus Ross (Red Hulk), with strong rumours suggesting Logan Kim (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) has been cast as Amadeus Cho in Captain America: Brave New World.

3. The Leader is the Main Antagonist
Tim Blake Nelson in The Incredible Hulk
According to reports, it won’t be Red Hulk but rather Tim Blake Nelson’s Samuel Sterns, aka the Leader, who will serve as the main antagonist of Captain America: Brave New World. As per the plot rumours, his plan involves mind-controlling people—particularly world leaders—similar to the villain’s scheme in Kingsman: The Secret Service. He is also reportedly responsible for turning Thunderbolt Ross into Red Hulk in an attempt to save him from a fatal disease. The Red Hulk vs Sam Wilson fight happens in the last act of the movie near the White House.
4. Sabra is Not a Mutant
Shira Haas in CABNW
Captain America: Brave New World introduces the comic book character Sabra, aka Ruth Bat-Seraph, to the big screen, played by Shira Haas. While she is a mutant of Jewish origin in the comics, the film reportedly depicts her as a non-powered agent who aids Sam Wilson at a critical moment.
5. Betty Ross Appears Only in the Final Scene
Liv Tyler in The Incredible Hulk
Like her father, Thunderbolt Ross, Betty Ross is finally returning to the MCU after her last appearance in the 2008 film The Incredible Hulk, with Liv Tyler reprising her role. However, her appearance is said to be brief, with rumours suggesting she only appears in the final scene, where she meets her incarcerated father (following the climax) on the Raft.
