Harrison Ford made a surprising admission about his upcoming Marvel role as the Red Hulk, revealing he took on the challenge solely for financial gain.
Harrison Ford's enigmatic humor was on full display as he graced the red carpet at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, where he will be honored with the Career Achievement Award. Among the topics of discussion was his highly anticipated Marvel debut in "Captain America: Brave New World," in which he portrays Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, who transforms into the Red Hulk.
When asked about the process of filming those scenes, the "Indiana Jones" legend responded with his characteristic bluntness. "What did it take? It took not caring. It took being an idiot for money, which I’ve done before."

However, Ford was quick to emphasize that he meant no disrespect to the film. "I don’t mean to disparage it," the 82-year-old clarified. "I’m just saying you have to do certain things that normally your mother would not want you to do — or your acting coach, if you had one. But it’s fun, and I enjoyed it. I had a great time, and I’m delighted at the response that we got with the trailer."
Ford's tongue-in-cheek remarks sent waves of laughter across the red carpet. When reporter Angelique Jackson mentioned that his Comic-Con appearance had given fans "a taste of that Red Hulk inside Harrison," he retorted with a mischievous grin, "Let’s keep him inside."

Ford's portrayal of Ross marks a significant departure from the character's previous incarnation as played by the late William Hurt. "He laid a very firm foundation for the character, I respect him enormously in the work that he did in his lifetime," Ford told People magazine. "God bless his soul. I'm delighted to be able to stand on his shoulders and continue playing the character."
Aside from his Marvel adventure, Ford is also gearing up for the release of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," which is expected to hit theaters this summer. "Indiana Jones" was initially offered to Tom Selleck, who ultimately turned it down in favor of "Magnum, P.I." Ford, on the other hand, has become synonymous with the iconic archaeologist, having played the role in four films spanning four decades.

While Ford's career has been filled with iconic performances, he maintains a refreshingly down-to-earth perspective on his success. When asked what part of his inner nerd he is satisfying by joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he quipped, "Well, if I’m going to scratch, it’s usually my butt."
Ford's ability to blend humor, honesty, and undeniable talent has endeared him to audiences worldwide. His upcoming ventures, both in the Marvel realm and beyond, are sure to provide further evidence of his enduring star power and inimitable charm.
