marvel figure
Harrison Ford is not only expected to see, once again, in the iconic character of Indiana Jones, but the octogenarian actor has also been generating great expectations thanks to his announced entry into the world of Marvel.
And it is that a few days ago the first images of what will be the movie Captain America: New World Order were revealed, which will have the special participation of Harrison Ford and Tim Blake Nelson.
In the images, both actors can be seen wearing outfits related to their characters. Harrison Ford appears as Thunderbolt Ross, in a suit and tie, while Tim Blake is a cell biologist (samuel sterns).
Ford will assume the role of William Hurt, who passed away in 2022. Within the mythology of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the comics, Thunderbolt Ross is a figure who moves between two worlds: he cares about national interests, but also personal ones. To this is added a particularity: being able to transform into the Red Hulk.
