Ford will be making his first appearance as Ross in the upcoming feature film, Captain American: New World Order in 2024. The confirmation of his role comes after it had been rumored for about a month that Marvel Studios wanted the Star Wars veteran for the role.  He’ll star opposite Anthony Mackie, with Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, and Carl Lumbly.

It is also important to note that General Ross in Marvel Comics becomes the character known as Red Hulk. He has worked with the military. As well as just a typical rage-filled Hulk that has it out for Bruce Banner. Details on how many appearances General Ross will have are unknown. It’s also unknown if the bosses at Marvel Studios even want him to eventually transform. Given the liberties they sometimes take with comic book cannon, you never know.
