Harrison Ford in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? He sounds too good to be true, but the rumor has been on the Internet for a couple of days. Jeff Sneider, who tends to give enough scoop to be real, recently claimed on The Hot Mic podcast that The actor would be “the main candidate” to join the film “Thunderbolts” as General Thaddeus Ross, the character played by William Hurt in previous installments of the franchise as “Black Widow”, “Captain America: Civil War” or “The Incredible Hulk”. Hurt died on March 13.
“Thunderbolts” was one of the main titles shown by Marvel Studios at this year’s D23 Expo. Kevin Feige has unveiled the cast of Marvel’s “Suicide Squad,” which will be led by Florence Pugh as Yelena and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Countess Valentina Allegra da Fontaine. Nothing has been said about Harrison Ford or General Ross. And Sneider says it may have been Lucasfilm’s fault that such a bomb didn’t happen.
According to the reporter, the deal was signed and the D23 Expo seemed like the perfect time to announce it, but Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, blocked the announcement because she didn’t want Ford’s entry into the MCU to overshadow the promotion of “Indiana Jones 5″who unveiled her first trailer in that same presentation with the protagonist and Phoebe Waller-Bridge present just minutes before Feige took the stage.
The deal may have been broken
Sneider comes to doubt that the deal with Harrison Ford is still standing, so we may have an unpleasant surprise when we see that the actor doesn’t finally join the project. Likewise, for now we shouldn’t treat it as anything more than a rumor.
Thunderbolts will be directed by Jake Schreier and will complement the cast we know at the moment with Sebastian Stan as Bucky, David Harbor as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Wyatt Russell as the US agent and Olga Kurylenko. as Taskmaster. It will be released in theaters in the summer of 2024. For his part, “Indiana Jones 5”, directed by James Mangold, will be released in theaters on June 30, 2023.
