Hold onto your seats, Marvel fans, because the MCU’s Hulk family was almost about to get a lot bigger—and more controversial. Captain America: Brave New World originally had a post-credits scene that would’ve introduced another Hulk to the mix: none other than Amadeus Cho, played by Ghostbusters: Afterlife star Logan Kim. But here’s where it gets even more intriguing: this wasn’t just a cameo—Amadeus was supposed to Hulk out, setting the stage for a potential Hulk-centric project in the future. And this is the part most people miss: the scrapped scene hinted at The Leader’s role in transforming Cho, adding another layer to the MCU’s Gamma-powered narrative.
The film underwent massive changes during reshoots, ditching elements like The Serpent Society and The Leader’s comic-accurate look. Even plans for Red Hulk’s storyline were axed, though remnants like a Diamondback toy in McDonald’s Happy Meals still lingered. The original vision seemed to lean into a pulpy, comic book-style adventure, but the decision was made to pivot toward a more Winter Soldier-esque tone for Sam Wilson’s Captain America. Unfortunately, the film didn’t land as expected, leaving fans to wonder what could’ve been.
Insider Daniel Richtman spilled the beans on the cut post-credits scene, revealing that Sam and The Leader would’ve discussed how Cho was turned into a Hulk. This would’ve come hot on the heels of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which introduced Jennifer Walters, Skaar, and The Abomination. With The Leader, Red Hulk, and Amadeus (aka Totally Awesome Hulk) in the mix, the MCU was clearly laying the groundwork for something Hulk-sized. But here’s the controversial part: was this setup too ambitious? Or did it hint at a larger Hulk project that Marvel isn’t ready to unveil yet?
Mark Ruffalo, who plays Bruce Banner, has openly expressed his desire for a solo Hulk movie, but there’s a catch: Universal still owns the character’s film rights. ‘I don’t know if it’ll ever really come to be, honestly,’ Ruffalo admitted. Meanwhile, the actor will reprise his role as the Jade Giant in Spider-Man: Brand New Day this summer, though his future beyond that remains unclear. Rumors suggest he’ll sit out Avengers: Doomsday and be saved for Avengers: Secret Wars—but is that enough to satisfy Hulk fans?
Amadeus Cho’s MCU debut has been delayed, but the question remains: will Logan Kim still play the role? And more importantly, does the MCU need another Hulk? What do you think? Is the Hulk family already too crowded, or is there room for Amadeus Cho to smash his way into the spotlight? Let us know in the comments—this debate is just getting started.
