This possibility was very likely since the cast was announced. Red Hulk should have been introduced somehow earlier during Phase 2 or 3 at the latest.Red Hulk is thrown in here and quickly put back on the shelf, likely never to be seen again.
William Hurt was still in his 60's and may have not been too ill yet to perform as Ross. He played the role in 2016 in Captain America: Civil War. I would guess he could have pulled it off. And it would have been only eight years out from The Incredible Hulk.
Re-assigning to Harrison Ford had obvious risks. He has first-hand experience working with a main character played by a co-worker (Carrie Fisher) who passed unexpectedly with work left to do.
All characters have a way to outlive any actor in a multiverse format. Maybe that is one way they can give Red Hulk a fresh re-start.
