‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Gave Harrison Ford A Chance To Try Something New
Harrison Ford assumes the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross following the death of Oscar-winning actor William Hurt, who played the character in five MCU films before he died in March of 2022 at age 71.
Ford, 82, of course, has starred in the iconic Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises and played such legendary characters as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and Rick Deckard in the Blade Runner movies.
In an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America prior to the release of Captain America: Brave New World in theaters, Ford said he reveled in the opportunity to play in the MCU because it marks a first for him.
“It’s a Marvel movie for God’s sake. And it’s got all of that smash and grab, running, jumping and falling down stuff,” Ford told GMA. “Being in a Marvel film is a privilege. It’s an introduction to a whole new genre.”
Plus, Ford added that he was excited that the role of Ross came with an added wrinkle, telling GMA, “He’s complicated — he turns into a Hulk on rare occasions.”
Captain America Brave New World has made nearly $199.7 million in North American theaters and $213.5 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $413.2 million against a $180 million production budget before prints and advertising costs, The Numbers reported.
Additionally, Captain America Brave New World received a 48% “rotten” rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 334 reviews, and a 79% “fresh” score on RT’s Popcornmeter based on 10,000-plus verified user ratings.
Captain America Brave New World arrives on PVOD on Tuesday.
