The production team behind Captain America 4 has clarified why Bruce Banner/The Hulk is not featured in the movie. The decision was made to allow Sam Wilson to shine in his debut as the lead character and avoid overshadowing his storyline. Despite initial discussions about incorporating The Hulk, director Julius Onah and producer Nate Moore opted to focus on highlighting Sam Wilson’s journey and the dynamic with Thaddeus Ross. The absence of The Hulk was deemed essential to maintain the narrative integrity of the film and emphasize Wilson’s evolution as the new Captain America. While fans may have missed The Hulk’s presence, the creators hinted at future appearances for the character in upcoming Marvel projects. This deliberate choice aims to keep the spotlight on Sam Wilson’s empowering narrative in this exciting installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
