We got to meet David Harbour's Red Guardian in the Black Widow trailer, and though we saw his full outfit, we never really got a look at his shield. What's cool is, Hasbro's Marvel Legends has come up with new photos for their Black Widow wave of figures, and it has RG holding his own shield.
Check it out:
Seeing that Red Guardian looks kind of clean cut here, I'm guessing this is back during the early days, in the height of his fame. He still looks a bit bulky though, and I have a feeling there's also some tech behind his own shield—just like Captain America's.
What I really wanted is a messy looking Harbour, complete an alternate head wearing the helmet. With Rachel Weisz's Melina not getting a figure, I'm hoping there's a second wave of Black Widow toys that her alongside the alternate Red Guardian.
It's great how many elements of the comics they managed to bring into the movie design, and I love how Russia was trying to replicate their own super soldier with Guardian. Now I'm hoping he also appears in the upcoming The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, since that series will be tackling Cap's replacement, even introducing Wyatt Russell as US Agent.
For now, we can wait for Harbour's performance as Red Guardian when Black Widow hits theaters May 1, 2020.
