Could this be Fords first ever superhero/comic book movie?

Great actor but IDK, the great William Hurt is no longer with us. But I have a few choices for Ross if they want to recast

-Stephen Lang
-Bryan Cranston
-Ed Harris
-Jeff Daniels
-Clancy Brown (I know he voiced Surtur)

I'm not sure how i blanked on Hurt dying, but I feel like I had no idea.

I think they should have brought Sam Elliott back to the role.

Yes it would be. I wish he was cast as Wade Eiling in the DCEU but it is what it is.

General Ross without Hurt in the role won't be the same. I fee like once Hurt passed away, Feige began going through the rolodex for a replacement and they just chose Ford off a whim
