Harrison Ford, previously POTUS in 1997’s Air Force One, will sleep in the White House again in Marvel’s Captain America : New World Order, according to EW.
Per producer Kevin Feige, the “1923” star will be the President in the movie – yep General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross— previously played by the late, great William Hurt — has been promoted since we last saw him on screen.
Feige said Ford is “embracing this role. He’s tireless with the amount of work that he does,” referring to a part that will also see him transform into the Red Hulk in the film.
“There’s a dynamic between President Ross and Sam Wilson,” added Feige. “They have a history together, but in this film, we’ll be seeing the dynamic between Captain America and the president of the United States in a way that is just incredible.”
The film, also starring Anthony Mackie, Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez, Carl Lumbly and Shira Haas, begins shooting “relatively soon”, according to the Ant-Man and the Wasp : Quantum-Mania producer.
