Now this is a return to the MCU we’re genuinely excited for.
It’s been fifteen years and it was a completely different Bruce Banner, but Liv Tyler is back as Betty Ross for the upcoming Captain America: New World Order.
In the second MCU movie Tyler played Ross: scientist, lover of then Edward Norton’s Bruce Banner and daughter of Thadeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, played by the late William Hurt at the time – now to be replaced by Harrison Ford in the movie – it’s a very different world this time out, isn’t it?
Mark Ruffalo would come along and replace Norton in Avengers in 2012 and Tyler’s Ross hasn’t been mentioned since. She joins Tim Roth who returned to the MCU as Emil Blonsky/Abomination in last year’s She-Hulk – Let’s hope Tyler’s return is more impressive than that outing – and Tim Blake Nelson as Samuel Sterns/Leader who will also be returning from 2008’s Incredible Hulk.
It’s a real reunion, this one.
The movie will see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson star as Captain America along with Carl Lumbly’s Isaiah Bradley and Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon.
Captain America: New World Order, directed by Cloverfield Paradox’s Julius Onah is set for a May 3rd, 2024 release.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
