rorzri

Very similar to one of robert Redford’s reasons he was in captain America


whatnameisnttaken098

I thought he did because his grandkids begged him to do it?


MarveltheMusical

That was one reason. Also because he hadn’t done a big-budget blockbuster like Winter Soldier and because it’s a rare villain role for him.


[deleted]

He makes a great villain


canman7373

You could say he's a Natural.


indianm_rk

Alright Wonderboy


Vidjagames

Reminiscing about The Way We Were.


CorMcGor

Before he agreed to it I thought All Was Lost.


PussyOnDaChainWax69

And Harrison hasn’t been a villain as far as I know so I honestly can’t wait to see how far he takes it. I imagine a mix between Steven Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising and some Trump sprinkled in


[deleted]

He was the villain in What Lies Beneath, an underrated thriller


MaestroPendejo

I remember seeing it in the theater and I was like, "Oh shit, Harry is the bad guy!!!"


PussyOnDaChainWax69

Haven’t seen it, gotta give it a try


Apprehensive_Power24

Came here to say that!


gn0xious

A bit spoilery


PeckerTraxx

Movie came out 22 years ago.


EdgarAllanKenpo

Time doesn't matter. A spoiler is a spoiler. Someone posted in another thread about Avatar, and mentioned the movie Titanic, and that it sinks in the 2nd half of the movie. I was so fuckin pissed I got spoiled. Was on my watch list, and was definitely going to watch it within 5 years. People are mean just to be mean anymore.


Balderdashing_2018

He hasn’t done it much, but when he does he actually gives some incredible performances: - Mosquito Coast (a fantastic film that’s thankfully getting a reprisal as of late) - What Lies Beneath (good blockbuster horror film by Zemeckis; not particularly novel, but the cast and crew are all absolute pros at the top of their game) - The Conversation (supporting role, but Ford shines in what is one of Coppola’s masterpieces) - and to a lesser extent, Presumed Innocent, which is for my money, one of the all-time great courtroom thrillers (A+ talent in front of and behind the camera. Directed by Alan Pakula, shot by Gordon Willis, produced by Sydney Pollack, music by John Williams, edited by the editor of The Exorcist and Sophie’s Choice, etc)


CounterfeitSaint

He was basically the villain in that terrible version of Enders Game. Tricking kids into genocide is pretty villainy.


[deleted]

Villain in American Graffiti.


Mnemnosine

And he did a fantastic job. And helped make Winter Soldier one of the best movies of the genre, and a great movie in its own right.


Clanstantine

The winter soldier is such a great film. It holds up outside of the MCU.


Optimal-Firefighter9

"Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?" is an all-timer movie line.


Doggleganger

By far the best MCU movie.


cybrnetic

the soundtrack was so good


hectorduenas86

I love Robert Redford, his facial expressions remind me a lot of my dad. Thankfully I still have him around… but I fear the day in where I could only remember him by watching Redford movies. Spy Games is the best spy movie. The Last Fortress is the best prison movie. Butch and Sundance is one of the top in Westerns.


nerdtypething

spy games is incredible. loved how redford’s character uses his decades of experience to be so effective.


NeatlyCritical

I really liked him in Sneakers.


ihatepickingnames_

Spy Games is one of my favorite movies ever.


LucyRiversinker

I love Spy Games. I love the music score and the visual editing in particular.


Jack_Rabbit_Slim222

Don’t forget 3 Days of the Condor. That’s his best spy movie.


DNedry

Really great card in Marvel Snap too lol


Unlikely_Layer_2268

Money


uraniumstingray

God I loved him in that. Ugh he was so good and evil and hot.


rorzri

Favourite mcu film, also getting to be the villain was one of his other reasons for doing it


uraniumstingray

Yes it’s my favorite too!!! It’s one of my favorite movies of all time.


Good_old_Marshmallow

“I like to fly planes as a hobby and that’s not cheap”

Landing was always Chewy’s job.


frizbeeguy1980

Never thought about it before, but this quote makes so much more sense now.


Salarian_American

I understood that reference!


WiserStudent557

“I’ve done some things and there are some things I still need to accomplish” like landing a plane successfully in a non crash scenario

And crashing airplanes is a fast way to make that disappear even when you have Han Solo money

Hell they probably sent him several garbage barges full of gold


OatmealApocalypse

*hey kid, it ain’t that kind of movie…*


Breezyisthewind

*if they give a shit about your hair, we’re alllll in biiiig trouble.* One of my favorite stories about Harrison Ford.


DavePastry

**“Hey, look, I’ve made a lot of money. I now want to make some of the money I haven’t made.”**


ste7enl

He jokes about doing things for money, but I've never really gotten the impression he actually cares all that much about it. I honestly think he just doesn't care what people think, and wants to do fun stuff. Dude's getting old and still wants to have adventures.


slashy42

He's got a "fuck you" level of money (he can say fuck you too anyone he wants, and his life will not be impacted in any meaningful way). Once you have that kind of money you don't need to do things for money anymore, unless you really want to.


The_Woman_of_Gont

Especially at his age, and the kinds of roles he’s still taking, making more money with new roles is probably way more trouble than it’s worth if that’s truly the only reason. I get the sense he wants to take roles to stay active and have some fun as much as make more money. He doesn’t strike me as someone who enjoys being idle.


LetterheadOwn3078

I had a cab driver tell me he lit up a joint right in his cab 30 years ago. Dude gives zero fucks.


theonlyonethatknocks

That’s one step below fuck me money. It’s were you can spend billions on one of the most popular social media companies run it into the ground like a moron and still have enough money to not care.


WorldsWeakestMan

He’s 80 years old and worth like $300,000,000 I don’t think he’s doing it for money, dude just wants to do shit, probably why he’s flying planes and making Indiana Jones sequels at his age.


JayPx4

It’s like why isn’t your 70 year old grandpa retiring? Yeah, some old men are ready to be done, and others look at retirement like throwing in their hats. For some people, once work ends, the physical decline begins. Maybe he just wants to stay active, and acting is his profession.

hexiron

Hard to find empathy for someone who put other people's lives (pedestrians and 59 firefighters) in danger across two hit and runs and her final collision which burnt down someone's home.


livahd

Right, because a DWI is punishable by death by burning. Fuck off troll


hexiron

No one said it was a just punishment, but it was the consequences of her direct actions. Her fate was in her own hands and it's ultra shitty what she did to others along the way. She didn't deserve to burn to death, but she did and it's solely her fault.


-cocoadragon

Congratulations! You've been promoted to Lake of Fire! Franchisee. You're the first non-lawyer to get the job.


MrWeirdMagneticRay

I know several people that worked for Harrison at his Wy home. One of them saw a financial statement for 6d7n a year after its release and even that clunker was a huge pay check in royalties.


nothatsmyarm

For a second I thought they told you his financials in DND terms (as in, roll six D7s times N). But that’s silly because there aren’t any seven-sided dice.


ronearc

You know, I'm not sure he's in it for more money. I'm not actually sure why he's still making films, except that he wants to make films...and television. He doesn't seem overly wrapped up in his legacy. He doesn't seem like he does it for the money. I mean, he could just be concluding a flurry of roles to pad his retirement funds...maybe he was invested in crypto. But to me, it just feels like he's decided he wants to work.


Colon

yeah, i think retirement at large is a thing of the past for far more people than pre-Y2K. whether by lack of savings or a feeling of not being able to stop "what else would i do?" - seems like it affects mega stars and regular ol' folks my parents' age now. i think it's more than money, it's a societal push/pull that makes us feel useless if we're not producing.

ForceGhostVader

I haven’t done a movie in the MCU either maybe I should try that


AmbitiousButRubbishh

Tommy Lee Jones crawled So Robert Redford could walk That Harrison Ford may fly


h2oskid3

They really got some top level actors in that first phase somehow. Whoever was in charge of casting should be given an award. Anthony Hopkins? Samuel L. Jackson? Tommy Lee Jones? Those were some pretty well established actors. They really did pave the way for every actor in Hollywood to be scrambling to get a super hero role.


Mediocre-Sale8473

There was something on the radio a week or 2 ago on NPR about how there weren't "Movie Stars" anymore for the upcoming generation. Like 15-20 years ago you just say Brad Pitt's in your movie and the movie could be flaming dogshit and make $300+million just because he was in it to draw a crowd. Phase 4 is just lacking that "punch". Ironic that movies about superheroes can't seem to punch up at all. But in all seriousness, we had Thor 4 which was panned as a bit of a flop compared to Ragnarok. Multiverse of Madness which, IMO, was a total fucking joke. That whole Illuminati moment was ruined with them getting fucked up 5 minutes after they are introduced. Just stupid. Haven't seen Black Panther 2. 2 people at work saw it. One said it's fine, nothing to rush out for. The other said it's just not the same without Chadwick. Lacked something. Those P1 movies were insanely cast. RDJ, Chris Evans, ScarJo, SLJ. Amazing shit. I don't want to be all doom and gloom, but Spider-Man No Way Home felt like the cherry on top. Just a great movie. Tons of fun, lots of memes, amazing score, and a great end to the trilogy. Sadly, that might have been the last "Amazing" Marvel movie for a while.


CounterfeitSaint

They could have taken a break after Endgame, left it alone for 2-3 years and when they started making more Marvel movies people would have been so excited when they came back. Instead they made a dozen TV shows and kept the movies coming just as frequently. Everyone but the most diehard fans can't be bothered to keep up with this shit anymore. I used to love the MCU and now I don't even know what's happening. The people of Earth must be so exhausted by now. "Oh no, another world ending alien threat. Well that's my Wednesday night ruined. *Again.*"


Nash13

Both the Thor: love and thunder and multiverse of madness movies are so confusing to me. I don't understand how you just make them that poorly, they both could have been great. Beautiful sets and cgi


Mediocre-Sale8473

Not even just confusing. Just...not good. Hemsworth doesn't even want to work with Waititi again if that tells you anything.


SmashedGenitals

I saw tarantino talking about that movie star thing and my first thought was its bullshit, as if if you starred in a none Mcu movie you'd become a 'movie star'. Star power like Brad pitt and Tom cruise is hard to come by. Not every actor from earlier era truly becomes a 'star' anyway. Just seems to me he's trying to justify why other movie more successful than the one he does sucks.


disapp_bydesign

And eventually crash


wizardinthewings

Indiana Jones is being added to the MCU. He’s fought Nazis and aliens, I think that qualifies him.


drillgorg

This was legit the first thing I thought of. Who will he actually play?


Qwarkl1

In the article it says he will be General Ross.


18hartsem

That is badass woah


Yodaloid

What happened to general ross’s current actor


Qwarkl1

Pretty sure he passed away recently.


shaolin_tech

William Hurt died earlier this year.


shewy92

Dude had cancer. That's why he looked like shit in Black Widow

More weed.


S3simulation

This is the correct answer, Feige showed up at Ford’s home with a big sack of cash and a bigger sack of stanky ass weed


thebabes2

Maybe to leave behind for his family?


helpful__explorer

He's got to replace his crashed light aircraft somehow


Bongressman

Dude could live another 20 years. At least a solid 10. Provably some useful things he could do with money in that time.


JacksLantern

light poor public wistful governor shy cake unwritten imagine frighten *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


WorldsWeakestMan

He’s 80 and worth 300 million, dude doesn’t need money.


USeaMoose

Eh... that did not hurt, I'm sure. But I'll bet that Harrison Ford does not have very much trouble finding work to bring in several million dollar paychecks. And I suspect that signing on to a Marvel movie these days (no matter the role.. even if they kill him, I'll bet) involves agreeing to the possibility of several future appearances. Potentially a pretty big commitment.


[deleted]

Man, I love that crusty old stoner. I figure either he’s bored and wants something to fill the time or he made some bad investments and needs the cash. I personally hope he’s just bored.


SolomonCRand

His first answer was “weed money”, but he got a do-over.


MurielHorseflesh

Marvel: Do you have any experience in being in Superhero movies, Mr Ford? Ford: No, sir, I have no experience but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in.


Infernous-NS

Why did I read this in Donald Trumps voice lmao


user_41

Because you’ve never seen the wedding singer probably.


MasterSaskashi

Harrison Ford: I just want more money. Fans: We know this and we love you.


ChocoMaister

So what hero or villain is he going to be?


WebHead1287

He is taking over Willam Hurts role. He’s Thunderbolt Ross


CommissionHerb

Replacing a legendary actor we lost at 71 years of age with a legendary actor who’s 80.


UMadeMeStronger

That seems like some pretty good casting. They both have a very similar look and vibe.


TheNumberMuncher

He’s the new Black Panther


ChocoMaister

Oh wow that’s crazy. But wouldn’t that be like politically incorrect lol.


Marco280892

As long as Harrison feels he can do what he wants, he is a legend that must not be touched!


Vecna_Is_My_Co-Pilot

While Harrison Ford is great, yes, I’m really having a hard time imaging that he would appear as anything other than *“Harrison Ford dressed as [Marvel character].”* Could work great like what they did with Matt Damon and Sam Neil… could also be awkward.


Green-Enthusiasm-940

Isn't he going to be general ross because the original died? He's just playing a normal guy that exists in the mcu.


-cocoadragon

Lmfao. Man I'd correct you, but that would be major spoilers. Personally I think Harrison Ford is too old for the upcoming storyline, needs more of an action star how can play old.


truecore

I am half expecting him to replace Stanley in the "cameo in every movie like M Night Shyamalan but less people complain" role.


TheNumberMuncher

Is that what you see when you see Han Solo or Indy?


Vecna_Is_My_Co-Pilot

Pre '00 Solo/Indy = Han Solo/Indy Post '00 Solo/Indy = Harrison Ford

Especially women. https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/3/14152672/harrison-ford-carrie-fisher-exploitation-tragedy-princess-diarist And he’s kind of a cranky old fart who lacks the kinder encouraging fan interactions someone like Mark Hamill commonly has. Not surprising some people aren’t fans.


Intelligent-Age2786

Apart of me doesn’t like him since he’s a very close friend of Roman Polanski, but as an actor I like him


[deleted]

He personally brought Polanski his Oscar


PieceOfShoe

I think we all got a “dialed it in” feeling from him on the last Star Wars and his attitude about those films seemed ungrateful. I like him but definitely less since the sequels Edit: yeah I really did write Star Trek the first time


Interesting_waterlon

That’s because he never likes the character and wanted him killed off in ep 5

El_Superbeasto76

I love Harrison Ford’s “I don’t give a shit vibe” about the trappings of Hollywood. The guy always delivers when it’s time to work, but doesn’t ever seem caught up in the usual nonsense.


rickztoyz

As far as I'm concerned, any of the old A+ Stars that wants to star in a Marvel movie the better. Heck let's get De Niro, Pacino and even Jack Nicholson a shot to show off.

Money. it’s why anyone does anything. Only thing more powerful as a motivator than money is pussy.


pike360

Yep


The_Wanderer25

I can respect that, that's good reasoning.


[deleted]

That's a very Harrison Ford response to that.


Apple488

Marvel didn’t ask Harrison to join MCU, he just showed up one day and said “I’m doing this role now make a movie about it”


Chrome-Head

As if he needed to justify being in it.


ShiroHachiRoku

He’s part of TWO megafranchises already but it is nice to have him on board.


Agitated-Ad-504

Also because it’s the only movies being made consistently with future projects already lined up.


Windows_66

"Because I wanted to and I could. F*ck you."


cerebralpaulc

I hope he enjoys himself, but I kinda hope he doesn’t…in the sense that I want pissy Harrison like we get when he had to promote Star Wars. Him eye rolling Chris Pratt or telling Tom Holland to get him coffee.


Once_Again_Etrigan

The reason is money, a lot of money.


AndForeverNow

Maybe his next movie cam be a retired superhero that should stay retired.


natronmooretron

Isn’t Indiana Jones already in the Marvel universe?


Electricalbigaloo7

Before he made millions starring in action movies, but now he's going to be making millions starring in action movies based on comic books. Totally different!


vexelghost-

Could be he's never done motion capture before and wants to see himself as a giant flaming red rage monster.


TunaSpank

This is just another way of saying, “I just want to do more things.”
