As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood history and a deep appreciation for the timeless charm of veteran actors, I must say that Harrison Ford’s candid take on his role in Captain America: Brave New World is nothing short of enchanting. The man who has graced our screens as Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and many more iconic characters, now dons the presidential suit as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross, a role once played by the late William Hurt.

Harrison Ford openly discussed his part in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, Captain America: Brave New World, sharing his insights about the complexities involved in the motion-capture technique for the production.

As a die-hard fan, bursting with excitement, here I am, sharing my tale. You see, at Comic-Con, the iconic Chicago-born actor, now 82, and I had a heart-to-heart with Variety! He opened up about stepping into the shoes of the legendary Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross in the upcoming blockbuster – a role once masterfully portrayed by the late, great William Hurt. It’s a moment that still sends shivers down my spine!

In the upcoming movie, the character played by Ford is portrayed as the President of the United States. Interestingly, this same character undergoes a transformation to become the Red Hulk in the storyline.

Ford was questioned on the requirements involved in executing the motion-capture technique filmmakers employ for creating smooth character transitions.

The Oscar-nominated actor, known for portraying Indiana Jones and Han Solo in the Star Wars movies, stated, ‘What was required? It demanded indifference.’ He added, ‘It meant acting foolishly for wealth, a role I’ve played previously.’

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’d like to clarify that my previous remarks weren’t intended to undermine the film. Truth be told, I had an absolutely fantastic time during the production process.

“The main character from The Fugitive stated, ‘I’m pointing out that sometimes you need to perform actions which your mom or acting mentor might not approve of. Yet, it was an exciting experience, and I found pleasure in it.'”

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I am thrilled to share that the overwhelmingly positive reaction to our trailer unveiled at the San Diego Entertainment Convention has left me absolutely ecstatic!

In the movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which was released last year, Ford’s youthful appearance was achieved through skillful special effects, allowing him to convincingly portray one of his iconic characters.

In June of 2023, Anthony Mackie, co-starring with Ford in Captain America 4 and portraying Captain America/Sam Wilson, spoke with Inverse. He described the veteran actor as possessing a unique charm, using the words, “He’s Harrison Ford.”

Mackie mentioned that Ford exudes a casual charm immediately, making him an incredibly charismatic individual – the epitome of what one would expect from a true film star.

He might express himself by saying, “Let’s blast this troublemaker.” And everyone responded with something like, “Absolutely, let’s deal with it.”

At Comic-Con, Ford was interviewed by ScreenRant and they discussed how working within the Marvel Cinematic Universe reminded him of his previous projects like Indiana Jones and Star Wars due to their franchise nature.

Ford described the extensive movie series as “a unique material, isn’t it? It’s free from many typical limitations on creativity. It’s enjoyable to work with and it’s fun.”

In the context of Captain America 4, Ford commended his fellow team members, expressing that they were exceptional. He admired the job done by the movie’s director, Julius Onah, stating it was impressive, and he found working alongside Anthony Mackie to be an enjoyable experience.

He added: ‘We had a good time. I enjoyed it.’

Was Ford queried on his opinion regarding the main character anchoring the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Earth-616, also recognized as ‘The Sacred Timeline,’ where all the MCU events unfold?

Ford replied, ‘616? I am in universe 616? I am out of my orbit!’

Captain America: Brave New World is slated to debut in theaters February 12, 2025.
