Although William Hurt passed away in March at the age of 71, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross will go on. It was confirmed in October that Harrison Ford will take over the role for at least two upcoming Marvel movies, with this marking the Han Solo and Indiana Jones actor’s first foray into the superhero genre. As for why Ford decided to join the MCU, the answer he gave was, quite frankly, classic Harrison Ford.

Harrison Ford will debut as Thunderbolt Ross in "Captain America: New World Order," and then he’ll return a few months later for "Thunderbolts." Obviously, Ford coming into the MCU is a major get for the franchise, and the actor gave The Playlist’s "Yellowstoners" podcast a simple answer when he was asked why he decided to collaborate with Marvel Studios.
