CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER Star Harrison Ford Plays Hilariously Coy When Quizzed On His MCU Debut

Harrison Ford has recently been doing the rounds to promote new Apple TV+ series Shrinking, but did his best to avoid questions about his MCU debut during a recent appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

The host, who we know is a big Marvel fan, asked the legendary actor about taking over from the late William Hurt as General "Thunderbolt" Ross in Captain America: New World Order. Unfortunately, he didn't get the answer he was hoping for...or any answer at all really!

As you can see below, Ford clearly knows next to nothing about the movie, likely meaning he's yet to receive the script. There's a fun back-and-forth between the two, but the actor does let slip that he at least knows about the first scene his character is in. We're guessing that was likely part of the pitch made to him by Marvel Studios when he was offered the role.

Despite being otherwise unrevealing, the video is worth watching as Ford goes on to joke that he first meets Captain America at a "disco" during a "flashback," something we'd actually quite like to see.

Rumour has it the General will be the new President of the United States by the time we next see him, though with The Leader also part of Captain America: New World Order, the prevailing theory is that Ross finally becomes Red Hulk.

With so much Multiversal madness in Phase 4, we still don't know how this story fits into the wider Multiverse Saga.

As for Ford, with it now semi-confirmed that The Sentry will be Thunderbolts' big bad, we're assuming he's only going to be making a one-off appearance in the MCU. Then again, if he only needs to lend his likeness and voice to Red Hulk moving forward, we could see quite a bit of him!

Captain America: New World Order is set to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.

@BARBER23 - You're wrong, but ok.

BARBER23 - 2/3/2023, 11:08 PM

@Shivermetimbers - it’s not something where there is a right or wrong. It’s my opinion.

Shivermetimbers - 2/4/2023, 12:54 AM

@BARBER23 - nah.

BARBER23 - 2/4/2023, 2:44 PM

@Shivermetimbers - ya, moron

Shivermetimbers - 2/4/2023, 5:57 PM

@BARBER23 - I’d be mad if my opinion sucked too. I forgive you for calling names.

BARBER23 - 2/12/2023, 9:46 PM

@Shivermetimbers - sucked is what your mom should’ve done. But instead, we have you. Thx for your forgiveness.💈

Shivermetimbers - 2/12/2023, 11:25 PM

@BARBER23 - Well, obviously she didnt...But your mom on the other hand...certified throat goat. Ive never had better.

bkmeijer1 - 2/3/2023, 2:26 PM

That's exactly the response I expected. Harrison doesn't know, and he probably doesn't even want to. Exactly for the reason he gonna get quizzed to death

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 2/3/2023, 2:32 PM

I can't believe he's 80 years old.

DudeGuy - 2/3/2023, 2:57 PM

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I can

IcePyke - 2/3/2023, 3:02 PM

marvel72 - 2/3/2023, 2:54 PM

He probably had a joint before coming on. He doesn't give a shit about any of the roles. Just take the paycheck.

rkshuttleworth - 2/3/2023, 3:17 PM

@marvel72 - I am pretty sure he cares about what he puts into his roles, just all of the celebrity nonsense he puts up with. He doesn't need more money.

Drace24 - 2/3/2023, 4:12 PM

@marvel72 - Far from it. At this point I am convinced the "cranky old geezer" thing is just another role he plays.

DocSpock - 2/3/2023, 3:27 PM

Red hulk could be awesome. I sure hope he's not one and done.

On another note, PLEASE don't let Indy 5 suck as much as Indy 4.

DoubleD - 2/3/2023, 4:25 PM

Captain America: New World 2024 Order going to be Incredible. I'm more hyped than all previous Marvel Phase movies including Infinity War and Endgame :)

Corruptor - 2/3/2023, 7:25 PM

@DoubleD - Good grief! that poor girl looks like she is about to be taken in the rear by Hulk, Rhino and the Bi-Beast. No wonder she looks worried.

KWilly - 2/3/2023, 4:41 PM

Dude just there for a check and to pass the time. Can't blame him.

LSHF - 2/3/2023, 4:55 PM

It's Secretary Ross, not "General".

DocSpock - 2/3/2023, 5:55 PM

Red Hulk, Sentry, & The Leader all squaring off would be such excellent mayhem.

I hope that Contessa Elaine & Red Hulk are at odds, not allied.

I want all out war with 3 factions all trying to kill each other with great savage carnage.
