Is Harrison Ford a Movie Star? He Doesn’t Think So!
The debate about whether “movie stars” still exist rages on, and the latest A-lister to weigh in is Harrison Ford himself. In a recent interview, the “Shrinking” actor dismissed the idea that movie stars are a dying breed. This comes at a time when many believe that big-name actors are less important than the franchises they are a part of.
Ford believes that great actors are still emerging, and if the movie industry truly needs stars, it will find them. He sees himself as simply an actor and storyteller, a collaborator in the process of filmmaking. Interestingly, this conversation often pops up around Marvel movies, which Ford is now a part of.
Back in 2019, Marvel actor Anthony Mackie argued that characters like The Falcon are the real stars, not the actors who play them. He suggested that audiences are drawn to franchises, not individual actors. However, the question remains: will people flock to see “Captain America: Brave New World” just to see Harrison Ford as Red Hulk? Only time will tell if the allure of a familiar face can still draw a crowd in the age of superhero franchises.
