Harrison Ford has played several memorable roles in many of the most beloved film series in Hollywood history. The actor was best known for his portrayals of Han Solo in the Star Wars films, Indiana Jones and Rick Deckard in the Blade Runner films. Succeeding the late William Hurt as General Thaddeus E. “Thunderbolt” Ross, the casting of Harrison Ford is being hailed as one of the MCU’s greatest stunts.
Thunderbolt Ross or Red Hulk
The actor will first be seen in Captain America: New World Order and then again in Thunderbolts, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Suicide Squad starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and others.
A recent leak, however, suggests that this Thunderbolt Ross won’t be like the ones we’ve seen before; instead, he will be the President of the United States and most importantly the Red Hulk. After leaving the military, General Thunderbolt Ross becomes the Red Hulk, a major enemy of the Hulk in the wonder comics.

An account on Patreon known to collect and leak information, “@DanielRPKsays two important plot points can be gleaned from a description of Harrison Ford’s role in Captain America 4.
“Former U.S. Army Lieutenant General and Secretary of State, now President of the United States. Using siphoned radiation turned Ross into the Red Hulk.
It would be a big development for the MCU if that were to happen, but it would make sense after audiences forgive or forget the upheaval that accompanied the Sokovia Accords in Captain America: Civil War. In the comics, Red Hulk evolves into an anti-hero, which bodes well for the introduction of the Thunderbolts, a team named after Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross.
As president, he and CIA Director Valentine Allegra de Fontaine could select operatives like US Agent, Winter Soldier, and others. There’s a catch, though: Dermot Mulroney is rumored to play the president in Secret Invasion. Is Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolt Ross considering getting into politics following the show’s reception? As always, only time will tell.
