    Harrison Ford understands why some fans might be attracted to his Red Hulk transformation in Captain America: Brave New World.

    The legendary actor, 82, was in attendance at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 over the weekend -- where he was on hand to promote the hotly anticipated Marvel project -- and he spoke with ET's Ash Crossan about his bulked-up gamma-irradiated appearance in the recent trailer.

    When asked how he felt about fans who think he looks super hot all Hulked out, Ford replied, "Well, you're not wrong."

    "I just gotta lay off the gym, though, I think," he added with a laugh.

    "It's been a lot of fun," Mackie shared. "I thought Harrison would be the old curmudgeon, angry dude, but he's not at all. He makes fun of people, he allows people to make fun of him. Whenever he's ready to roll, he's like, 'Let's shoot this piece of sh*t!' And everybody's like, yay, Harrison's ready to shoot!"

    In the film, Ford's Thunderbolt has been elected president, and it was confirmed at Comic-Con that the Red Hulk seen in previous trailers is in fact him.

    Ford will also play Thunderbolt in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster Thunderbolts , which will see a number of the MCU's biggest and best anti-heroes (and semi-reformed villains) team up to fight world-threatening enemies.

    Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters Feb. 14, 2025. Meanwhile, Thunderbolts is set to hit theaters onJuly 25, 2025.
