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

Mar 17,25

Harrison Ford isn't fazed by the critical and commercial disappointment of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, simply stating, "s**t happens." He joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe because it seemed like a "good time."

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal Magazine, the Star Wars icon explained that despite feeling there was "another story to tell" in the Indiana Jones saga, he's unbothered by the film's negative reception and estimated $100 million loss. He elaborated, "When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up, shake the dust off his ass, and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened. I’m still happy I made that movie."

This hasn't deterred him from joining another iconic franchise. Ford's role in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World sees him stepping into the shoes of the late William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross, a character with a significantly expanded role as Red Hulk.

Ford joined the MCU before knowing about this transformation, having not even seen a script for Brave New World. His decision was purely driven by the enjoyment factor. He commented, "Why not? I saw enough Marvels to see actors that I admired having a good time. 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."

Brave New World, slated for release on February 14th, is one of the shortest MCU films to date. It marks Anthony Mackie's debut as Captain America, replacing Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, and features the introduction of deep-cut characters, including The Leader, fulfilling a long-awaited tease from The Incredible Hulk.
