Harrison Ford Says ‘S— Happens’ Over ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Flop, Joined the MCU With ‘No Script’ Because He Saw Actors ‘Having a Good Time’ in Marvel Movies


Harrison Ford is happy he made "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" despite it flopping and says he joined Marvel without ever seeing a script.

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. The actor is front and center opposite Anthony Mackie in “ Captain America: Brave New World ” as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (taking over the role from the late William Hurt), who is not only the U.S. president but also the Red Hulk. Unlike “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” “Captain America: Brave New World” could give Ford one of his biggest box office hits at 82 years old.
