General Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross has already appeared in The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Black Widow.
Despite this, Harrison previously claimed that Marvel had “killed” the success of its superhero movies by releasing too many of them.
The acting legend made the claim during a discussion about the upcoming Indiana Jones movie, which is due out in 2023.

Harrison – who first starred as the adventurer in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 – said, “I don’t really want to give them what they want to see, I want to give them something they didn’t expect to see.
“The Marvel movies are a spectacular example of a success that worked the other way around – they killed it.”
Harrison suggested that he would not allow the franchise to follow the same path as the Marvel movies.

Speaking of their plans, Harrison said, “We’re not going to make another Indiana Jones unless we’re in a position to kill it. We want it to be the best.’
The actor also insisted that he would not commit to a new Indiana Jones movie unless he was fully convinced by the project.
He explained, “We are determined to get it right before we get it fixed.”
