The Hollywood legend is set to join the MCU in the upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World, in which he will make his far-awaited MCU debut. (William Hurt, who died earlier this year, originated the role of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, who will be played in this film by the 82-year-old actor.) These visuals have once again begun to heat up in light of his role in this installment; Ross is now the President of the United States, though speculation is strong that he will become the powerful Red Hulk.
In his statement on the new venture, Ford shared that he is excited to continue working with talented people and discover new creative prospects. The excitement surrounding his return to the MCU is palpable, and fans will be watching closely to see what the impact could be on the future of the franchise.
