Yesteryear`s `Indiana Jones` Harrison Ford is stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The legendary actor will play the role of Thaddeus `Thunderbolt` Ross, replacing the late William Hurt, for 2024`s `Captain America: New World Order` starring Anthony Mackie, reports `Variety`.
The fourth `Captain America` movie follows the events of the 2021 Disney+ series `The Falcon and the Winter Soldier` (FAWS).
It does not appear, however, that Ford is set to star in `Thunderbolts`, Marvel`s anti-hero team-up film that is scheduled immediately to follow the fourth `Captain America`.
Hurt first played Thaddeus Ross in Marvel Studios` second feature film ever, 2008`s `The Incredible Hulk`, as a U.S. Army general who is instrumental in transforming scientist Bruce Banner (then played by Edward Norton) into the Hulk; Ross then spends the rest of the movie hunting for Banner.
Ross showed up again in 2016`s `Captain America: Civil War` as the Secretary of State tasked with enforcing the Sokovia Accords meant to curtail the actions of the Avengers. After brief cameos in `Avengers: Infinity War` and `Avengers: Endgame`, Hurt`s final performance as Ross was in 2021`s `Black Widow`, notes `Variety`.
`New World Order` will be Ford`s first film within the MCU, but it is far from his only franchise appearance. The 80-year-old actor has also headlined the `Star Wars`, `Indiana Jones` and Jack Ryan movies. His next starring role will be the fifth `Indiana Jones` movie, set to premiere in June 2023, `Variety` adds.
