When Harrison Ford was announced to be starring inCaptain America: Brave New World, fans were ecstatic that the actor would bring something unique to the franchise. Ford playing Thaddeus Ross (replacing William Hurt) was a great casting decision, and his intense dynamic with Anthony Mackie’s Captain America is sure to create some sparks on screen.
His character was announced to be the new president in the film. Now, the MCU’s former president is challenging Ross’s position, and the actor who played him expressed his desire to go up against Ford’s character in the run for presidency.

Dermot Mulroney Wants to Compete Against Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus Ross
Dermot Mulroneyis no stranger to the superhero world. He is known for voicing Hal Jordan/ Green Lantern inThe Batmananimated series. He came back into the genre with 2023’sSecret Invasion,where he portrayed President Ritson. The show showed the socio-political dilemmas of alien life on Earth, and he nearly faced death due to his stance on the matter.
It was announced that Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus Ross would be the new president (maybe Ritson would not get re-elected after his incompetency inSecret Invasion). Mulroney talked toComicbook.comabout his desire for his character to fight against Ross for the presidency and wanting Kevin Feige to consider this scenario. He said,
“Now, we’re talking, that’s the kind of spin-off thinking. Yes, the answer is a hard yes. “Call Kevin Feige right now. You have his number right? Because, I don’t and let him know that I’ll be running against Thaddeus. What’s his freaking name? I don’t know. Now, you think they tell me anything? They don’t!”
This would be a nice political dynamic that would be interesting to witness in a Captain America film. It remains to be seen whether Mulroney’s Ritson fights back against Thaddeus Ross or if there is any future for the character in the MCU.
