Hollywood legend at Marvel: Harrison Ford can rarely wear beard in his films

Hollywood star Harrison Ford almost never wears a beard in his films, but has already tried facial hair. “I once worn a mustache,” said Ford (82) of the German Press Agency in London. “But it is always the same. I tried it more often with the beard, but in the past the film studio has always intervened. They said:” We paid for your face. So show us your face too. “”

Despite the comic template again without a mustache

In his new film, the Marvel spectacle “Captain America: Brave New World”, Ford plays the former general and new US President Thaddeus Ross. He wears a mustache in the comic template and was always portrayed with beard in previous Marvel films by William Hurt. Ford plays Ross without facial hair.

It is the first time that the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” star in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is involved. “For me it was a really exciting, rewarding and cool experience,” said Ford. However, the 82-year-old admitted that, given the amount of films and series, he did not have the full overview of the MCU. “This is really a lot of fabric, and I’m afraid that fans know each other better than we do.”

Ford’s new role “quite a niche”

Ford feels the role as a real novelty of his career – also because Ross turns into the red hulk into “Captain America: Brave New World”. “I have always loved to play very different characters,” said Ford. “However, this is quite a niche. I have never played a figure that becomes a huge red being. And never to do with co-stars Had the superpowers or flying suits. “

In essence, however, it is about the human aspects. “In the end there is always a human emotion in it,” says Ford, “this amazement when something suddenly becomes real, which you could never have imagined. And I totally understand why this (Marvel) universe is so fascinating . “
