Harrison Ford has reportedly joined the cast of Captain America: New World Order. As per Deadline, the Indiana Jones star will play Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, opposite Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson. The news comes after recent rumours with The Ankler's Jeff Sneider claiming that Ford will take over the role from the late William Hurt as the blustering General. Hurt passed away earlier this year, after being diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2018. Captain America: New World Order is the penultimate entry in Phase…

Ford will…

That’s only partially true of the upcoming movie, but it does have a hell of a line-up including Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as the Countess when it arrives on July 26, 2024.

With the slate of Phases 5 and 6 still fresh in our minds from San Diego Comic-Con, Feige took the time to pull back the curtain a little more.Following footage from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, director Ryan Coogler joined Feige on stage to focus on Ironheart.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 1 — out March 19 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — is both an exciting and strange start to the new Marvel Cinematic Universe series. On one hand, it gives us an action spectacle that feels very much on par with what we get from Marvel movies. Episode 1 also examines some underlying issues for Avengers that are otherwise never touched upon: like how do they make a living? Did Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) get a salary from Iron Man? Who will offer health and travel insurance to the…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 — out March 26 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — is essentially a stage-setting episode. Before it really dives into the thick of things, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier needs to introduce the primary players. We already know our titular heroes Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). Aligned with them but far from friends, we've the new Captain America, John Walker (Wyatt Russell) and his best friend Lemar Hoskins (Clé Bennett). On the opposing end we've…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 3 — out April 2 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — finds all our characters in murkier waters, or descending (further) into them. Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) helps orchestrate a prison riot that allows Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) to escape. We are briefly reunited with former SHIELD agent Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) who has stuck her fingers in black market pies after having been branded a traitor by her government. New Captain America, John Walker (Wyatt Russell), is going…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4 — out April 9 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — is essentially the decline (and potential end) of the new Captain America, John Walker (Wyatt Russell). He slowly goes off the rails during The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4, first interrupting a mission and causing it veer off course, then standing up to Wakanda's Dora Milaje without realising what he is getting into, and ultimately killing a man in cold blood in full public view. It more than pays off on what Walker had…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 5 — out April 16 on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — felt like a season finale in some respects. After that surprise end in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4, which saw the (now former) Captain America/ John Walker (Wyatt Russell) murdering a Flag Smasher in cold blood, the Marvel Cinematic Universe hit the reset button of sorts. Sam Wilson/ Falcon (Anthony Mackie) went back to his native Louisiana along with Bucky Barnes/ White Wolf/ Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). The…
