Harrison Ford has opened up about his role as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross (aka Red Hulk) in the upcoming Marvel movie “Captain America: Brave New World.” The role, previously played by William Hurt who passed away in 2022, required Ford to use motion capture technology, a process he humorously described as “being an idiot for money.” Despite this remark, Ford clarified that he didn’t mean to disparage the movie but acknowledged the unconventional aspects of the job that might not align with traditional acting methods.
Ford expressed his respect for Hurt and the strong foundation he laid for the character, feeling honored to continue the portrayal. Working alongside Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson (now Captain America), Ford enjoyed the experience and was pleased with the positive response to the movie’s trailer. Mackie praised Ford as a legendary actor and a cool guy, highlighting his professionalism and charisma on set.
“Captain America: Brave New World” is set to release on February 14, 2025. The film will explore Sam Wilson’s role as the new Captain America, a transition first shown in the series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.” The movie promises to bring fresh dynamics to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Ford’s addition to the cast.
