Legendary Action Star Embarks on New Adventure with Marvel
Harrison Ford remains unfazed by the critical and commercial underperformance of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," dismissing it with a nonchalant "s**t happens." He revealed his decision to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe was driven by a desire for a "good time."
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine, the Star Wars icon explained that despite his personal belief in the potential for another Indiana Jones chapter ("I felt there was another story to tell"), he's unconcerned about the film's negative reception and estimated $100 million loss.
Ford elaborated on his motivation for returning to the role: "When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up, shake the dust off his ass, and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened," he stated. "I’m still happy I made that movie."
This latest cinematic venture hasn't deterred him from embracing another iconic franchise. Ford has joined the MCU in the upcoming "Captain America: Brave New World," stepping into the shoes of the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross, a role significantly expanded to include the Red Hulk transformation.
However, Ford clarified that his MCU involvement predated knowledge of this character arc. He hadn't even seen a script for "Brave New World" before signing on; the appeal was purely the prospect of enjoyment.
"Why not? I saw enough Marvel films to see actors I admired having a good time," Ford explained. "I didn’t really know that at the end I would turn into the Red Hulk. Well, it’s like life. You only get so far in the kit until the last page of the instructions is missing."
"Captain America: Brave New World," slated for a February 14th release, marks one of the shortest MCU films to date and features Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, replacing Chris Evans. The film is also expected to incorporate lesser-known Marvel characters, including a long-awaited payoff from "The Incredible Hulk" with the introduction of The Leader.
