While Marvel’s Black Widow gives our hero the solo story she deserved years ago — one of the more compelling parts of the film are all the new characters we get to meet, including David Harbour’s Red Guardian. But who is the mystery guy — and which side is he actually on?
Now, it’s easy to get Red Guardian confused with other Marvel characters — especially considering there’s been SEVEN different versions of the character over the years. There’s Dr. Tania Belinsky, the female Red Guardian who also doubles as a brain surgeon. There’s Josef Petkus, who served as the Red Guardian while part of the Supreme Soviets. The one hero you shouldn’t mix him up with? The Guardian. Also donning a red suit, Marvel’s Guardian is the Canadian counterpart to Captain America, who we can only imagine is a little more kind and gentle than the actual Red Guardian. Publishing wise, Alexi Shostakov was technically the first, but through some flashbacks and retcons — the first timeline based Red Guardian was Aleksey Lebedev. The character was shown in flashbacks from a Namor comic published in 1991.
Learn about how David Harbour’s portrayal of the character will tie into the comics, what the MCU does differently, and how everything will connect to other Avengers like Captain America.
Time to head to the pages of Marvel Comics for some surprising reveals, connections to Captain America — and another failed love interest for poor Natasha. Before the May release date arrives, learn EVERYTHING you need to know about the Red Guardian.
