According to hollywoodreporter.com, Harrison Ford will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is going to be playing the role of General Ross. The role was previously played by the late actor William Hurt. Ford will be playing the role in Captain America: New World Order, that will star Anthony Mackie as his longtime Marvel character of Sam Wilson. The Cloverfield Paradox helmer Julius Onah is set to direct the film. The film will be taking place after the events of 2021’s Marvel Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, that had Wilson accept the shield and mantle of Captain America.
Ford will also play Ross in Thunderbolts, a film about the team of supervillains, that is set to be directed by Jake Schreier and is planned for release on July 26th, 2024. William Hurt previously appeared as Ross in 2008’s Incredible Hulk and then returned for 2016’s Captain America: Civil War and subsequent Marvel films. Hurt passed away earlier this year at the age of 71.
