The official news of ‘s engagement Harrison Ford in the universe miracle in the role of lightning strike: the actor will be one of the protagonists of Captain America: New World Order. The cast of the project will also include Anthony Mackie, Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson and Carl Lumbly. At 80, the iconic Harrison Ford steps into the MCU for a new action role.
There have been rumors of Harrison Ford’s involvement in a Marvel Studios project and his potential role for a while, and now it’s official. Captain America: New World Order will be part of Phase 5 of the MCU.
The character of General Ross was first introduced in Marvel comics in 1962, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, who became the Hulk’s main adversary until, forty years after his birth as editors, authors Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness did not turn him into the Red Hulk. Here it is in the pages of comics as it is in transformation.
General Ross also became the leader of the Thunderbolts team. It is precisely this intersection between the new Captain America, the presence of Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt and the development of the movie Thunderbolts that creates a connection and a bridge for the character. Recall that the Thunderbolts cast will see this formation, not published in comics:
Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss)
Red Guardian (David Harbor)
Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan)
John Walker (Wyatt Russell)
Black Widow (Florence Pugh)
Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko)
Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen)
The film is slated to release in US theaters on July 26, 2024. These characters will be joined by Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt. There were rumors of a cameo of him in the new Captain America movie, but his appearance could be much more substantial.
Recall that until now this part belonged to the interpreter William Hurt, who had played him in The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Black Widow (as well as in the short “The Consultant “) . William Hurt passed away this year at the age of 71.
While Harrison Ford, despite being 80 years old, still seems to be more than active when it comes to blockbuster action roles. We know he’ll be returning in Indiana Jones 5, and he doesn’t seem interested in a rotation with a younger actor at all. Chris Pratt himself, whose potential presence as the new Indiana Jones has been rumored, long ago said:
Aren’t they already doing an Indiana Jones with Harrison Ford? All I know is that I once read a statement from Harrison Ford and I don’t know if he said it or not, but it was enough to scare me. It was like ‘when I die, Indiana Jones will die with me’. So could I ever risk being haunted by the ghost of Harrison Ford one day?
Ford is also the protagonist of the Yellowstone spin-off, the Western TV series led by long-lived recording artist Kevin Costner. Fans of Harrison Ford and Marvel movies can’t wait to see the amazing Han Solo performer take on the role of Thunderbolt.
