David Harbour Talks About The Red Guardian's Motivations in BLACK WIDOW

Black Widow is going to be the opening film in the MCU’s Phase Four. I am excited to not only to see Scarlett Johansson back in action, but with it being the first film in this phase it has to have far reaching effects in the MCU that will be felt long after Natasha Romanoff’s death.

One of the characters that is going to be introduced is Red Guardian played by David Harbour (Stranger Things). Essentially the Red Guardian is Russia’s answer to Captain America. Below is a video of Harbour talking to Variety back at San Diego Comic-con about the motivations of his character. He starts with saying:

In the Cold War, the Americans developed nuclear weapons, the Russians developed nuclear weapons. And then the Americans developed Captain America and in response, in retaliation, the Soviets developed the Red Guardian. So in that way, he's a foil. He has very complicated feelings about this particular thing. But the Soviet Union fell and a lot of things went down with him in particular, and now he’s in a different place in his life.

I can’t wait to see what Harbour does with his character and what other characters may pop up. Rumor has it that we will see Tony Stark will make a cameo. Check out the video below and let us know what you think.
