‘It’s not a walk in the park’: Harrison Ford opens up about the difficulties of participating in a Marvel movie

Luckily, he's used to crazy stunts.

With its super-sized budgets and blockbuster brawl sequences, it’s a commonly known notion that participating in a Marvel movie is no easy task. In fact, MCU veteran Robert Downey Jr. once broke his ankle while performing a stunt in Iron Man 3. So when the time came for 80-year-old lend his acting prowess to a Marvel film, it quickly became obvious to him that it would be difficult.

While chatting with Captain America: New World Order was fun, it also took a tremendous amount of hard work — especially with this being his first-ever venture in the MCU realm. Ford said:

“Yeah. I mean, there are tough days and easy days and fun days and all kinds of days. It’s a tough schedule and, yeah, it’s fun. But it’s not a walk in the park. It’s not fun fun. It’s work.”

Of course, with Ford still working despite being in his 80s, it hardly comes as a surprise that performing tricky Marvel stunts would prove to be tough. But with a career as illustrious and decorated as Ford’s, it’s worth noting that he’s absolutely no stranger to gathering some cuts and bruises over the years.

And with the pulse-pounding stunts Ford unsurprisingly performed in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, it’s evident that we’ll continue to keep seeing the legendary actor give his all to each project that he participates in — not that we’re complaining in the slightest.

Catch Ford in Captain America: New World Order when it releases on May 3, 2024.
