According to the latest reports, Ford would play Thadeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. He would replace William Hurt, who died in March this year. Jeff Sneider was the first to announce everything during the Hot Mic podcast. The information was later confirmed by the Slashfilm website.
When can we expect Harrison Ford to make a debut in the MCU? Well, if this news is confirmed, we will see him in Captain America: New World Order , which is set to hit theaters in 2024. Later, it will also appear in Thunderbolts . Initially, it was planned to announce his entry into the Marvel cinematic universe during this year’s D23. The boss of Lucasfilm – Kathleen Kennedy – was against it, who wanted as much attention as possible to devote as much attention to the new installment of Indiana Jones’ adventures.
William Hurt first played Ross in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk . Later, after a long break, he returned to the role of Captain America: Heroes’ War and we could see him in three more Marvel productions – Avengers: Infinity War , Avengers: Endgame (short episode) and Black Widow . Unfortunately, after ten years, the actor lost the fight against cancer.
