Harrison Ford has spoken about his role as Thaddeus Ross in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, rejecting the idea that the Red Hulk should be labelled a ‘villain’.
The 82-year-old has taken on the part once portrayed by the late William Hurt, who passed away in 2022, and Thaddeus is now the new US president.
In one of the many released sneak peeks, President Ross can be seen addressing the nation from behind the lectern outside the White House before transforming into the monstrous Red Hulk.

Discussing the role, Ford shared with the PA news agency: ‘Well, he’s a complicated person, and I don’t think we should quite describe him as a villain, but I think as the story unwinds you find different aspects of his character that may be of interest. And he turns into the Hulk, so there’s a complication in his life.’
‘It’s good to have characters that have a substance and a point of view, and I think we have a bunch of very interesting characters in this film.’
Reflecting on the visual effects, Ford described seeing himself as Red Hulk: ‘I’ve never seen myself that way before, but it was interesting, it was fun.’

The storyline follows Sam Wilson, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, who has assumed the role of Captain America, as he becomes embroiled in an international incident involving Ford’s newly elected president.
Mackie, who previously appeared as The Falcon alongside Chris Evans’ Captain America, spoke fondly of his long-standing involvement with the Marvel franchise.
Mackie explained: ‘The fun part about it was not so much about becoming Captain America, but doing it with all of my friends and colleagues from the beginning.

‘These movies are a lot like summer camp. People become your family.’
‘Being in, now, nine of these movies, the same props guy from the first movie was my props guy on this movie, my dresser on the first movie was my dresser on this movie.
‘So it is just the evolution of, I’m just really proud of the evolution of the character and everybody seeing Sam for who he is.’
