Harrison Ford has gone red with rage in Marvel's upcoming movie "Captain America: Brave New World." After winning hearts with his leading roles in "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones," Ford will take on the role of 'General Ross' who will become 'The Red Hulk'.
The character of Red Hulk had been on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's radar for some time and initially, original Ross actor William Hurt, who played the role across five movies, starting with The Incredible Hulk (2008) was set to reprise the role. However, he sadly passed away in 2022, which forced the producers to look elsewhere. Finally, Ford stepped up to take on the role as a tribute to the late Oscar winner, Nate Moore told Entertainment Weekly during an interview. The exciting role adds to the long illustrious career of Ford.
Harrison Ford, the illustrious actor known for his iconic roles in franchises like 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones,' has also unlocked a $300 million net worth thanks to his stellar performances. His journey from being a carpenter to becoming a leading man in the world of cinema, started with minor roles before he bagged a part in "Star Wars" director George Lucas' "American Graffiti." He then went on to work with iconic directors such as Steven Spielberg on the "Indiana Jones" series and with Ridley Scott on "Blade Runner."

Notably, for the movie 'K19: The Widowmaker,' Ford reportedly received an astounding $1.25 million for each day he spent on the set.
