Why Marvel Hasn’t Confirmed Harrison Ford’s Thunderbolts* Role Yet
As the star suggests , Marvel Studios is keeping its wit tight to its chest when it come toThunderbolts * . Whether the asterisk has anything to do with Red Hulk ’s involvement is unclear , but it is safe to say thatMarvel probably wants to keep Harrison Ford ’s involvement a proportional arcanum until hisCaptain America : Brave New Worldstory has play out . As with most MCU installments , Marvel is likely protecting the story detail forCaptain America : Brave New Worldas well asThunderbolts*by defy to confirm whether Thunderbolt Ross even survives his next field day .
One theory propose that theThunderbolts*asterisk is hiding the true intention of the movie being a Dark Avengers installment .
With that being said , there is no doubtfulness a litany of grown reveals being book forMarvel ’s show at this year ’s San Diego Comic - Con . The studio unveil the initial plaster bandage forThunderboltsat 2022 ’s SDCC , which was its last appearance as 2023 ’s writer ’s ten-strike caused Marvel to pull out of the event , so the dealership might be looking to flesh it out at this twelvemonth ’s along with an official announcement and reveal of Lewis Pullman ’s Sentry .

How Harrison Ford Fits Into The Thunderbolts* Movie Story
It is heavy to see how Thunderbolt Ross could n’t be in some way imply inThunderbolts*given the team ’s obvious connection to his moniker . Interestingly , the Thunderbolts of Marvel Comics had little to do with Thunderbolt Ross , with the name being chosen by leader Baron Zemo for its more esoteric connotation . On the other hand , the fact that the introduction team does not involve Zemo in any way hints that Marvel might be leaning into Thunderbolt Ross being more intimately tortuous and may name the team after himself .
Red Hulk did form another version of the Thunderbolts in Marvel Comics comprise Deadpool , Mercy , Elektra , Agent Venom , Punisher , Ghost Rider , Red Leader , and himself , with a like MO to the original team .
This ontogenesis is suggest at further by the fact that Thunderbolt Ross was seen commissioning Captain America to found a novel Avengers squad in the exclusive footage forCaptain America : Brave New Worldaired at Cinema Con . This cements Thunderbolt Ross ' convey interest in pulling together a squad of superpowered someone . With hisRed Hulk transformation now confirmed , it is also likely that Thunderbolt Ross will conjoin the team himself , as he did in Marvel Comics .
TheThunderbolts*asterisk could also be pointing to an unseen footnote clarifying the team has nothing to do with Thunderbolt Ross , which will become clean-cut in the backwash of his destruction inCaptain America : Brave New World . Marvel is not beyond killing off powerful and influential villain in the space of one movie ( such as Hela , Gorr the God Butcher , and Red Skull ) , so such a fortune could practicably wait Red Hulk inCaptain America : Brave New World . Harrison Ford ’s star power also hints at this , given the number of fellow Hollywood icons who feature in just one MCU movie .
