Veteran and iconic actor Harrison Ford is joining the MCU, according to a report. SlashFilm reports that Ford will play Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in multiple upcoming MCU films, including Captain America: New World Order and Thunderbolts. The news originally comes from the Hot Mic podcast, and SlashFilm backed up that report. Additionally, Deadline is now backing up the report of Ford joining the MCU.
However, Disney and Marvel have yet to officially announce that Ford is joining the MCU as Ross in Captain America: New World Order.
Ross was played by the late William Hurt in a number of Marvel movies dating back to 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Hurt passed away in March this year at the age of 71.
