Who knows if this is true or ad $ driven rumors but it’s interesting if true that Disney would refuse to recast Black Panther but not Ross.

One is a tier 1 character, and one isn't.

How many years does Ford have left before they'll need to replace him with someone else?

I guess it's cool to have Ford in the MCU. Shame it's in the shitty era.

Sad to see Harrison lower himself to being in a marvel movie.

But we already got his superhero origin story!!!.
He got superpowers from radiation after surviving a nuclear explosion......in a fridge.

IMO, perfect recast. Can't think of another actor in that age range that could come in, fill in for William Hurt and make it work.

Why?

Harrison Ford is 8 years older than Hurt, what General dodders around like a geriatric? Unless this is a grand death role, it seems like a mistake to keep stunt casting these aged actors if the intent is to roll the role along for another decade or more.

Though I gotta admit, it would be dope if they somehow got Michael Douglas, Harrison Ford, Robert Redford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michelle Yeoh, and any others together for a grand scene of just old acters one upping each other.

Thought Harrison never liked super hero movies.

Honestly, aside from Blade Runner 2049 when was the last time Harrison Ford gave a flying fuck about a movie he was in?

I feel he's been in "whatever" mode for at least 20 years now.

I hate recastings and would prefer if Ross was never used again. They can call the team “Thunderbolts” as simply a tribute.

Recastings suck. Terrance Howard is the best Rhodey still and Ruffalo has played Banner as a cartoon character since Ragnarok. I wish Norton wasn’t such a pain in the ass to work with.
