Red Hulk is Rumored To Make His MCU Debut in Marvel's SHE-HULK Series

For years there has been speculation and rumors regarding General Ross and when we might see him make his big MCU debut as Red Hulk. Red Hulk was actually considered for Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame, but it just wasn’t the right time.

Well, according to Geeks World Wide, the right time is coming soon and that he will make is debut in the upcoming Disney+ series She-Hulk. We don’t know how exactly how that’s going to play out, but William Hurt is reprising his role as General Ross in Black Widow. There’s also a strong possibility he could appear in The Falcon & the Winter Soldier. That could set the character up to become his super-powered alter ego, Red Hulk in She-Hulk.

His debut in the MCU is sure to play out differently than in the comics, but there may be similarities. In the comics, General Ross is turned into the Red Hulk to be used as a weapon against the Hulk. I love that storyline, but maybe instead of going up against the Hulk, it will be She-Hulk. We’ll have to wait and see what is being planned.

The report offers some additional information on the character and how he might fit in with She-Hulk:

General Ross has a long history in Marvel comics, but the first appearance of Red Hulk was in 2008’s Hulk #1 as a mysterious rival to Hulk. Red Hulk, also known as Rulk, wreaks havoc and even kills Abomination. It isn’t until later that Rulk was revealed to be created by MODOK, the leader of A.I.M., when She-Hulk infiltrates an A.I.M. base and fights MODOK, while Hulk fights Red Hulk. Rulk’s identity as General Ross is finally revealed in the 2010 storyline World War Hulk. After joining the Avengers, Rulk forms his own Thunderbolts team in the 2012 Marvel NOW! relaunch. This could further imply that MODOK is one of the villains in ‘She-Hulk’ and that the series further sets up the Thunderbolts.

A Thunderbolts series has been rumored to be in early development at Disney+, so bringing Red Hulk into the mix in one of these upcoming shows makes sense.

She-Hulk is being developed by Rick and Morty’s Jessica Gao who serves as showrunner, and there is currently no premiere date for it yet.
