In exciting news for Marvel fans, Danny Ramirez is set to reprise his role as Joaquin Torres in the upcoming MCU sequel, Captain America: Brave New World. Ramirez, who recently appeared in Top Gun: Maverick and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, has shared his experience working alongside Hollywood legend Harrison Ford, who will join the MCU as Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross.
Ramirez spoke highly of Ford's professionalism and ability to create a comfortable atmosphere on set. He described Ford as 'spicy' and an 'unbelievable professional,' noting that he allowed everyone to be themselves and had a knack for cracking jokes at just the right moment. Ramirez expressed his excitement at being a part of a film with Ford, who happens to be his mother's favorite actor. And with Ford's involvement, Ramirez jokingly admitted that he would now be his own mother's second favorite actor in the movie.
Moving on to the film itself, Ramirez teased that there will be some phenomenal action sequences in Captain America: Brave New World. He praised director Julius Onah's approach to structuring and layering the characters and films, citing the hidden gems placed throughout. Ramirez has high expectations for the entire experience but particularly highlighted one sequence that hasn't been seen yet but has received rave reviews from those involved.
Directed by Julius Onah, Captain America: Brave New World will pick up after the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, exploring the impact of Sam Wilson (played by Anthony Mackie) taking on the mantle of Captain America. While specific plot details remain under wraps, it has been revealed that Harrison Ford's character, Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, has become the President of the United States. Speculation has also arisen about Ross potentially transforming into the Red Hulk, based on images from filming showing Ford wearing torn trousers, a signature feature of the character.
Anthony Mackie, who plays Captain America, has playfully attempted to debunk these theories, recounting a humorous incident during filming where he lent Ford a pair of pants after his luggage was misplaced. Mackie described Ford as a curmudgeon who demanded the pants, adding a touch of levity to the speculation.
Captain America: Brave New World is set to be released on February 14, 2025, marking the conclusion of Phase Five in the MCU. With the return of familiar characters, the addition of Harrison Ford to the franchise, and the promise of thrilling action sequences, fans eagerly await this exciting new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
