Captain America: Brave New World

TheMarvel Cinematic Universehas had a history of casting both unknowns and the biggest stars in the world , but after the case ofCaptain America : Brave New World , and move intoThunderbolts*,I’m worried that arguably their most well - have a go at it star yet may not get much more fib to tell . Telling any individual story is difficult within themovies of the Marvel Universe , where the larger universe ramifications pull out most of the importance . This has induce several narration threads to be left behind , and I ’m worried this will be the next one .

This has especially been an issue with theMCU ’s post - credit scenery course , which has seen unnumbered characters introduced , only to never be impart up again . There is still Leslie Townes Hope that characters like Starfox and Hercules could seem in the enfranchisement in the hereafter , but this does not seem to be a priority . With this in mind , when sure characters are really give logical place to leave their stories , I ca n’t help but question if there is any plan to revisit them again . This is specially true of the gravid whiz of late added to the universe .

Harrison Ford Is One Of The MCU’s Biggest New Castings

Ford Has Remained One Of The Biggest Stars In Hollywood For Decades

After the passing of William Hurt , who previously played Thaddeus " Thunderbolt " Ross in the MCU , I assume that the franchise would drop a line out his lineament . Instead , they endure the other way , and brought in one of the magnanimous stars who has ever lived to replace him . InCaptain America : Brave New World , the character plays a significant role as the President of the United States . This follows with one of the most dramatic moves in the series , withHarrison Ford transform into the Red Hulk .

Marvel has always had a good Libra the Balance of big and uprise stars in their labor . For every career they launch , like Chris Hemsworth or Simu Liu , they bring in a famous and found name , like Brie Larson or Benedict Cumberbatch . Still , few stars of the sizing and scale of Ford have been brought in to play recur characters . With that in mind , while Ross has up to this point seem in several different MCU moving picture , I wonder if Ford ’s time as the character will only be in one moving-picture show .

Captain America: Brave New World’s Ending Sets A Worrying Future Up For Harrison Ford’s MCU Future

I Am Worried That Ford Will Not Appear In Future MCU Projects

Theending ofCaptain America : Brave New Worldsaw the Red Hulk being talked down from his rageful form . From there , Ross was taken into custody , and his character was stored on the Raft to keep him and others safe . Ross does not appear to be specially concerned in escape from the Raft , and seems to believe this might be the honorable place for him now . With that in mind , it on the spur of the moment seems unlikely that Ford will return to the role any prison term soon .

Many Marvel villain only appear once before being dispatched rapidly , but this would be a surprising pick for Ford . The headliner has come out in some of the most iconic movie and franchises over the eld , and has shown himself unforced to return to various genre roles . He played Han Solo in the former and newStar Warsfilms , and came back as Indiana Jones as recently as 2023 . While he has proven himself unforced to return to these sort of part , I find myself worried that he might already be done at Marvel .

I’m Genuinely Worried The MCU Won’t Fully Use Harrison Ford’s Casting After Brave New World

I Was Looking Forward To Seeing More Of Ford In Thunderbolts* And The Future MCU

Not using Ford again afterBrave Modern Worldis for sure potential , but it ’s also so strange . If Ford was intend to be done by with so rapidly again , I do n’t read why it was so crucial to remold the use after William Hurt ’s demise . After the MCU chose not to recast T’Challa following Chadwick Boseman ’s passing , I enter that they would also be loath to reforge Ross . When they did , I assume that this was done because they had a significant and long - terminal figure plan for his character beyond this single film .

This result , especially after add in a principal as big as Ford , is specially perplexing . In addition , Marvel ’s Thunderbolts teamis canonically named after Ross , and it would be strange if he did not appear there . With that said , perhaps the event ofBrave New Worldare why theThunderbolts*trailer see the cast reluctant to apply their squad name . With Ross in prison , and likely absent from the new celluloid , that could provide the mathematical group with links to the US politics while feeling cagey Ross ’ activity .

Captain America : Brave New World has made me even more desperate to see one MCU poor boy make a cameo appearance in Marvel ’s forthcoming Thunderbolts * .

Captain America- Brave New World - Poster

I hope that I ’m wrong , and that Harrison Ford remains in the MCU for many more geezerhood to amount . I want to see him defend alongside the Avengers inAvengers : Secret Warsas Red Hulk , and I desire to see him mend good relationships with his daughter Betty and Mark Ruffalo ’s Hulk . Ross has had a foresighted and interesting path in the MCU , and it would be disappointing ifCaptain America : Brave New Worldwas the last time that we saw the persona . unhappily , I am disturbed that it might be .
