Julius Onah Shuts Down ‘Diva’ Rumors: Harrison Ford Was ‘Incredibly Professional’ on ‘Captain America 4’ Set

Before its premiere, it appears that Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest film, “Captain America: Brave New World,” encountered some issues during production. Rumors suggest significant re-filming, script alterations, and creative conflicts took place, leading to tension within the team.

Moreover, there were whispers about Harrison Ford being challenging during filming. The source stated that Ford, who played U.S. President Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross in the movie, was tough to collaborate with on set. Despite expressing appreciation for the actor’s previous performances, they characterized him as “one of the grumpiest actors I have ever encountered” and alleged that he contributed to an uncomfortable environment.

The individual shared that “He was quite the demanding star,” as they put it. Recall, if you will, the plane crash incident where he sustained injuries and found it difficult to lift his left arm beyond his chest. Fast forward to our project involving motion-capture dots, we had to dress up the 80-something Harrison Ford in them. It appeared to me that he disliked this task immensely and wished to avoid it at all costs. When the job was complete, so was Harrison – everyone was rushing around to keep him content. This created an uncomfortable work atmosphere overall.

Currently, the rumors surrounding the movie’s director, Julius Onah, have been debunked by him. In his words, he can only share his personal insights, but he portrayed Ford as a dedicated professional with an unwavering passion for his craft and a relentless pursuit of delivering the best possible film.

Ah, it’s clear that Onah admits creative conversations can be quite passionate, but they consistently aimed at enhancing the film. Moreover, he commended Ford’s acting prowess and expressed that not only the actors but also the entire team held a high regard for him.

I can only discuss my personal interactions with Harrison. He was truly dedicated to his work, displaying both seriousness and passion. Our creative discussions were intense yet productive, always aiming to produce the best possible outcome for the movie. I believe Harrison delivered an outstanding performance in the film, and it was a privilege working alongside him. I learned so much from him, and the entire cast shares admiration and respect towards him, as well as the crew. This is my account of our filmmaking experience on set, which reflects the truth.
