As a seasoned movie enthusiast with decades of cinematic adventures under my belt, I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with Harrison Ford on this matter. The ever-evolving landscape of filmmaking is reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon, always moving forward at breakneck speed.
As a veteran of both franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford doesn’t share the sentiment of actors who steer clear of Marvel roles for personal reasons. With his iconic role in Star Wars and leading the Indiana Jones series, it’s clear that he’s not against mixing franchise work with non-franchise films. He believes there’s no reason for actors to limit themselves in this manner.
During an interview with GQ, Ford was queried regarding actors who decline roles within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a realm Ford now inhabits following his assumption of the Thaddeus Ross role from William Hurt. Ford expressed that actors should grasp the fact that things are evolving, and it’s futile to dwell on how things once were.
In simpler terms, Han Solo himself, Harrison Ford, described his entry into the Marvel universe as a temporary visit on a weekend pass. He admitted to appreciating various types of movies other than those made in the ’80s and ’90s, without making any broad statements about them. He acknowledged that times change and so do things, and it’s foolish not to adapt. Essentially, he is embracing this new phase of his career in Hollywood, which he believes is offering unique experiences for audiences, and he finds joy in that.
If Ford views this as merely a “weekend pass,” he’s really making the most of it since he’ll appear in two movies next year. First, he stars as Ross in “Captain America: Brave New World,” where fans will also get to witness the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s introduction of Red Hulk. Later, he’ll show up in “Thunderbolts.” Since both films are scheduled for release in 2025, you can expect him to be on many screens next year. At this point, it’s unclear when we might catch a glimpse of him again within the MCU.
The MCU Is Looking To Get Back on Track
It’s clear that the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has faced some challenges. Films like “The Marvels,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” and “Secret Invasion” didn’t perform as well as expected, prompting Marvel to make adjustments. Rather than releasing a barrage of movies and shows, they scaled back production, and so far, this approach seems to be working out. The combination of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” has become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, surpassing the billion-dollar mark.
Agatha All Along, a spinoff from Wandavision, has been a big success among fans, potentially bringing significant lore impacts for the entire universe. This year, only two new Marvel titles, Agatha and Echo, premiered on Disney+, with the latter releasing all its episodes at once to start off 2024. Rather than overwhelming viewers with what some consider as homework, the scheduled releases have made watching Marvel projects more enjoyable, which could be fantastic news for fans eager to reconnect with the universe. Additionally, both the X-Men and Fantastic Four are on their way, providing even more excitement for fans.
