Captain America: Brave New World's Anthony Mackie opened up about working alongside legendary star Harrison Ford, as well as their previous time working on the same movie, Hollywood Homicide. In the upcoming MCU film, Ford plays Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross/Red Hulk, an antagonist to Mackie's Sam Wilson/Captain America.

Speaking with Fandango, Mackie discussed his relationship with Ford:

"This being my second time working with Harrison Ford...Harrison is probably one of the coolest brothers I've met in the film business, and I was surprised by that because the first movie we did together he was extremely cool."

"So at the premiere, Harrison Ford came up and talked to me. I was like 'yo, Indiana Jones!' Cool, right? So when he came back and we did this, I was really surprised, like Danny always tells the story: you know we're we're just kicking it and usually a star of Harrison Ford's size goes to his trailer or they put up a tent and Surround him with bubble wrap, you know. But he just came in peanut butter and jelly sandwich. [..] He never left set to do his 'famous' stuff. He was always one of the cast. He was always one of the actors, so it was it was never a thing of intimidation."

"Even the first day I worked with him, I got nervous, and he pulled me to the side, and he was like 'relax, kid.'"

Onah shared Mackie's positive sentiments towards Ford, adding:

"I went over to his house to meet him in the very beginning of the process, and I was so nervous and then he just started telling the most raunchy jokes. [...] Then he, you know, gave me a whiskey, and then he gave me another whiskey, and I'm like 'I can't keep up with this guy.' I'm like 'I'm a lightweight with him,

but he's just the realest, most down-to-Earth dude. What an honor, what a treat."
