HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES — Harrison Ford, known for iconic roles like Han Solo in “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones,” is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming film “Captain America: Brave New World.” Ford’s impressive filmography also includes roles in “Blade Runner” and “The Fugitive.”
“It is a world unto itself, and I wasn’t in it,” said Ford.
Ford takes over for the late William Hurt as now President Thaddeus Ross in “Captain America: Brave New World.”
Ford says one big thing he looks for when seeking out a role is an opportunity to do something new.

“I look for a new audience that I haven’t had much contact with and that would be the Marvel Universe,” said Ford.
Ford revealed he didn’t “get the call.”
“I made the call. I said, ‘Find out if they would be interested in me having a little part in this,'” said Ford.
His part in this expands, so to speak, when he transforms into a different character: Red Hulk.
“The heart of the film lies in the relationship between Captain America and my character, rather than the transformation into the Red Hulk, which adds an entertaining element to the story. I hope audiences will appreciate this aspect,” said Ford.
Emphasizing the focus on the new Captain America, portrayed by Anthony Mackie after Chris Evans, Ford highlights the significance of the evolving character dynamics in the film.
“It is a Captain America movie,” said Ford. “It’s all about Captain America and his place in the world, in the Marvel Universe.”
“Captain America: Brave New World” opens Feb. 14.
