Harrison Ford Doesn't Care That Indiana Jones 5 Flopped, and Joined Marvel For a 'Good Time'

Harrison Ford remains unfazed by the critical and commercial flop of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," shrugging it off with a casual "s\*\*t happens." Despite the film's estimated $100 million loss at the box office, Ford expressed contentment with his decision to return to the iconic role. "When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened," Ford shared with The Wall Street Journal Magazine. "I’m still happy I made that movie."

Undeterred by the setback, Ford has now joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the upcoming film "Captain America: Brave New World." He steps into the shoes of the late William Hurt, portraying Thaddeus Ross, who will transform into the formidable Red Hulk. Ford revealed that his decision to join the MCU was driven by the allure of a fun experience, rather than knowing the specifics of his character's transformation. "Why not? I saw enough Marvels to see actors that I admired having a good time," Ford remarked. "I didn’t really know that at the end I would turn into the Red Hulk. Well, it’s like life. You only get so far in the kit until the last page of the instructions is missing."

Scheduled for release on February 14, "Captain America: Brave New World" marks one of the shortest entries in the MCU to date and introduces Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, replacing Chris Evans' Steve Rogers. The film also promises to delve into lesser-known aspects of Marvel lore, including the long-awaited introduction of The Leader, a character teased as far back as the second MCU film, "The Incredible Hulk."
