Anthony Mackie Spoils the Return of a Key MCU Character in ‘Brave New World’

Set to release on February 14, 2025, Captain America: Brave New World is penultimate movie of the MCU’s Phase Five. Anthony Mackie will take over as Captain America, succeeding Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers from the previous films, and anticipation is building for the premiere.

Following San Diego Comic-Con, media outlets worldwide have been gathering and commenting on the information and spoilers revealed at the event. While Doctor Doom is the focus of much of the discussion, a major spoiler from Captain America: Brave New World is also generating significant buzz among fans.

Anthony Mackie recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly, and he revealed a significant spoiler: a major MCU character will make an appearance in the movie. While fans had speculated about this, they hadn’t known for sure until Mackie’s confirmation.

As Entertainment Weekly reports, Anthony Mackie shared some intriguing details at SDCC, including his thoughts on the movie’s title. The actor believes that the title is excellent and fits the film perfectly.

“Brave New World is a great title for this film. It’s a new beginning, and it’s a foundation on which Marvel will build the universe on now. Not only this character but all the characters that surround him are new building blocks for us to utilize to move on through the universe and into to the future.”

While that comment was intriguing, the real highlight is the major spoiler we’ve uncovered, which is likely what you’re here for. Before we dive into it, here’s a video for you:

As revealed, Anthony Mackie spoiled the return of Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in Brave New World. Given the context, this will make Brave New World feel like a sequel to The Incredible Hulk as well. This is certainly one of the major scoops from SDCC this year. If you can’t access the video, here’s exactly what Mackie said:

“The events of Hulk and his film don’t pertain to this movie at all. When and if he shows up… Not Red Hulk! The other Hulk! There are multiple Hulks! So, when he shows up… his world, his universe, his story, is completely separate from what… the way we utilize him in our story.”
