Harrison Ford is reportedly joining the MCU as Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross.
Harrison Ford is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in what might be one of the biggest casting coups for the franchise so far. /Film is reporting that the iconic star of Indiana Jones and Star Wars has been tapped by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige to take over the role of Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, which was played by William Hurt before the death of the actor earlier this year.
Ford will be cast as Ross for multiple films, with his debut reportedly set to come in the upcoming Captain America: New World Order before joining another ensemble cast. He will also appear in the team-up movie Thunderbolts which was shown off at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. The film is designed to be the finale to the MCU's Phase 5, and the full cast was announced at the time.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Ford, of course, has a long-standing relationship with Disney through his work on the Lucasfilms productions of Indiana Jones and Star Wars. He made his return after 32 years to a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars: The Force Awakens having softened in his stance against the films that he had taken in the years immediately following his appearances in the original trilogy.
Captain America: New World Order is set for release on May 3, 2024, and will be directed by Julius Onah, while Thunderbolts is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024 and will be directed by Jake Schreier.
