Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is set to begin it’s phase 5 when Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania hits theatres on February 17. And now Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has made a new revelation in an interview with EW. According to the latest report in an online portal, Harrison Ford is set to make his entry in MCU. The veteran actor will essay the role of United State’s President ‘Thaddeus Ross’ in their upcoming movie ‘Captain America: New World Order’.
The role was previously played by the late actor William Hurt who passed away in March 2022.
It’s not a new thing for Ford as he has previously played a combat-trained Commander in Chief in Wolfgang Petersen’s 1997 film Air Force One. There will be lots of stuff that will unfold between new Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and the president of the United States, with Thaddeus Ross rising to the highest position of power in the upcoming movie. There are also speculations that Ford could be portraying Ross’ alter ego, the Red Hulk, but there has not been any confirmation about this from the actor and the studio.
Speaking about the role, Kevin Feige said, Harrison Ford is “embracing this role. He’s tireless with the amount of work that he does,” which could come in handy if the ping pong ball suit is involved.
The film is scheduled for release on May 3, 2024. Filming on New World Order will begin soon.
