Harrison Ford On Why It’s “Silly” For Actors To Dismiss Marvel Movies
Actor Harrison Ford makes his MCU debut in the 2025 film Captain America: Brave New World as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. In a new interview, the legendary actor talked about how actors are “silly” to not at least consider being in a Marvel movie during their career.
“I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t have anything general to say about it. It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on,” Ford told GQ. “We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate. I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience. I enjoy that.”
A number of actors and directors have spoken out to criticize Marvel movies or say they want nothing to do with them. Recently, four-time Oscar-nominated actor Saoirse Ronan said thanks but no thanks to Marvel, while Martin Scorsese has made his feelings known about Marvel. Jamie Lee Curtis, meanwhile, recently criticized Marvel and then backtracked.
