According to reports from ComicBookMovie, both Isaiah Bradley and Sabra, portrayed by Shira Haas, were set to don superhero costumes designed to assist Sam Wilson in his battle against the Red Hulk in a specific version of the MCU narrative.

This decision has sparked conversations about character development and representation in superhero films.
Recently, a behind-the-scenes image surfaced on X, showcasing the design of Isaiah’s superhero outfit. Fans can take a closer look at the costume by viewing the image below:
