Ford will make his debut as ” Thunderbolt” Ross in the movie Captain America : New World Order , which is scheduled for release in May 2024. In July of the same year, Thunderbolts will be released , along with Ross. Apparently, the actor’s schedule will be very tight soon, considering that Harrison Ford is expected to return to the role of Indiana Jones in collaboration with Disney. Indiana Jones 5 premieres in June next year.
It has been rumored for weeks that Ford is the number one option for Marvel Studios. Journalist Jeff Snieder argued that the actor would rather hesitate to take the role because of his heavy obligations to the franchise and out of respect for William Hurt, his former friend and colleague. We can throw all these guesses aside now, as Harrison Ford jumps boldly into the MCU, and a lot of new material with Ross is being prepared.

It should be noted that “Thunderbolt” Ross is a very pivotal character in the marvel universe who has had a big impact on the stories of the MCU from the very beginning. Given the developments of Phase Four, Thaddeus will be the government figure that will play a pivotal role in post-avengers times. In addition, the huge amount of materials and information about “Thunderbolt” from Marvel Comics does not even allow you to remove this character from the screen.
Based on already planned projects, Ford’s “Thunderbolt” Ross could be an important public figure in the creation of a government-backed super team like Thunderbolts. We also do not exclude the actor’s duo with Julia Louis Dreyfus in the role of the mysterious Val. Such a combination could more easily attract older fans to Thunderbolts .
