The idea of Harrison Ford joining the Marvel universe once seemed unlikely … but never tell him the odds.
The Star Wars star will make his Marvel debut in Captain America: New World Order, according to reports from Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety. Ford is reportedly set to play General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the character previously portrayed by William Hurt, who died in March 2022. The news was first reported on The Hot Mic With Jeff Sneider and John Rocha.
