In the upcoming Marvel film Captain America: Brave New World, Harrison Ford, who has starred in both Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, will make his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, a role previously portrayed by the late actor William Hurt.
What did Harrison Ford say about Red Hulk?
Speaking to Variety, Ford, who is now starting a new journey, said that he was mostly reliant on motion-capture technology to transform Ross, the US President Thaddeus, into Red Hulk.
What was his opinion on this? He said, "What did it take? It took not caring. It took being an idiot for money, which I've done before."
Further, he added, "I don't mean to disparage it," "I'm just saying you have to do certain things that normally your mother would not want you to do — or your acting coach if you had one. But it's fun, and I enjoyed it. I had a great time, and I'm delighted at the response that we got with the trailer."
When he was asked about his experience in the Marvel universe in an interview with ScreenRant, He stated, "It's a whole different cut of cloth, isn't it?" he said. "Free of some normal constraints to the imagination. It's delightful to deal with and it's fun. The people I worked with were fantastic. The director, Julius Onah, did a terrific job. Mr. [Anthony] Mackie is great fun to work with. We had a good time. I enjoyed it."
Anthony Mackie praised Harrison Ford to Inverse in an interview last year when he was asked about the film.
He said, "I was so f*****g nervous I couldn't remember my lines. He's Harrison f*****g Ford. There is this aura about him. But he dispels that really quickly because he's such a cool guy. He's everything a movie star should be. He would say, 'Let's shoot this piece of s**t.' And everybody was like, 'Yeah, let's shoot this s**t.’"
Originally titled "Captain America: New World Order," which later was changed to "Captain America: Brave New World," it is the fourth film in the Captain America series. It is directed by Julius Onah (The Girl Is in Trouble), written by Matthew Orton, Malcolm Spellman, and Dalan Musson, and produced by Nate Moore and Kevin Feige, with executive producers Charles Newirth and Louis D'Esposito.
The story takes place after "The Falcon and the Winter Solider," in which Sam Wilson (The Falcon) assumes the responsibilities of Captain America (Chris Evans), having Chris retired during the Avengers Endgame finale, and forms a new Avengers team after being given a mission by "Thunderbolt" Ross, the President.
The cast is enhanced by the return of Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, the evocative Shira Haas as the mysterious Ruth Bat-Seraph, the respected Carl Lumbly as the timeless Isaiah Bradley, Danny Ramirez in the role of Joaquin Torres, and a stellar cast that includes Phuong Kubacki, Seth Rollins, Rachel Leighton, and the captivating Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder.
"Captain America: Brave New World" will be out by next year February 12, and it's going to add a fresh twist to the never-ending Marvel world.
