EXCLUSIVE: Harrison Ford Calls Anthony Mackie ‘Very Convincing’ Captain America Ahead of Portrayal as Red Hulk

Harrison Ford will make his debut in the Marvel Universe, taking on the role of President Thaddeus Ross, who later becomes the villainous Red Hulk, as depicted in Captain America: New World. In an exclusive interview with TopMob, Ford discussed his excitement about developing this character originally played by the late William Hurt.

Beyond excited to be working alongside Anthony Mackie, I can’t help but rave about his incredible portrayal of Sam Wilson. He truly embodies the role and leaves me spellbound with his conviction.

In my chat with the media, I shared my excitement about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and stepping into the shoes of the iconic character, Red. I acknowledged the brilliant work done previously by the original actor, stating, “I feel honored to have been given the chance to expand upon the foundation he laid.

Additionally, the actor stated, “I’ve built upon the groundwork he established in the movies he participated in.

Additionally, he mentioned that he aimed to develop that same character for the fresh narrative, a progression that draws upon the past while elevating it to a higher plane.

In this new role, the seasoned actor assumes William Hurt’s part, while Mackie, our main character, carries on the tradition once held by Chris Evans as Captain America in the movie.

Speaking about potential developments within the franchise, the former Indiana Jones actor expressed, “I can’t predict it, but I believe audiences would enjoy witnessing another impressive performance by Mr. Mackie.

In my opinion, Anthony Mackie delivers an incredibly convincing portrayal of Captain America. I truly appreciate his performance in this movie; I believe it represents a fantastic transformation.

On Valentine’s Day this year, you’ll have the chance to witness the tales of Sam Wilson becoming Captain America and President Ross changing into Red Hulk unfolding on the big screen at your local theater.
