Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford joined Scott ahead of the release of Captain America: Brave New World. Scott acknowledged Harrison’s reputation for economical interview answers and approached the conversation with a mixture of respect and caution.
Harrison discussed taking over the role of Thaddeus Ross and entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe after decades associated with franchises including Star Wars and Indiana Jones. He treated the move as another acting job rather than a ceremonial arrival in a new world.
Scott asked about the physical and technical demands of a modern superhero production, including performing scenes that would later be transformed through visual effects. Harrison stressed the importance of finding a believable human motivation beneath the scale of the action.
The conversation also touched on his long career and the public tendency to treat every new appearance as part of a larger legacy. Harrison resisted grand summaries, preferring to focus on the film he had just made.
Scott later encouraged listeners to watch the interview clip on Radio 2’s social accounts, joking about how “chatty” Harrison had been. The humour reflected the contrast between Scott’s expansive questioning and Harrison’s famously concise responses.
