We love nothing more than actors being absolutely candid in their interviews and putting their nonchalance on full display for the world to see. One such actor is Harrison Ford, who has always been a bit too honest, and we absolutely love him for that! He will soon be seen playing one of the antagonists in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World.

Naturally, Harrison Ford is going to have to face a ton of questions about the Marvel Cinematic Universe coming his way. However, it looks like he knows how to answer them all, even the ones he has zero idea about and this was made evident at the recent San Diego Comic Con.

Harrison Ford Has the Perfect Response to Geeky Marvel Questions

At the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, Screen Rant had an extremely detailed question relating to Deadpool & Wolverine for Harrison Ford. Choosing the topic of anchor beings, the interviewer asked Ford who would serve as the anchor beings from Earth 616, aka the world we are living in.

Ford was visibly confused upon hearing “Earth 616” and swiftly walked away after stating,

“616? I am in universe 616? Yeah, I’m out of my orbit.”

Honestly, could we love the guy more?

The question about anchor beings was not the only Marvel-related question that came Ford’s way.

The cast of Brave New World, including Anthony Mackie, joined Entertainment Weekly at the Comic-Con to discuss their upcoming MCU film. During the interview, EW’s Gerrad Hall asked Ford, “Who deals better with snakes, Indy or Thaddeus Ross?” basically asking to pick one iconic character over another.

Ford stated that this question was exactly like the “Who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo?” debate that has been a touchy subject amongst Star Wars fans for a while now.

Luckily, Ford knew just how to answer Hall’s difficult question – by not answering it at all. Without a care in the world, the actor let the interviewer know that he wouldn’t be answering “Stupid questions.”

I’ve always treated these questions with the utmost respect and somehow, at the same time, complete disdain. I will not answer that stupid question.

Ford previously had a similar answer to a question about his character in the Star Wars universe.

Another hilarious moment from the interview is when Ford was asked if he really didn’t know who Red Hulk was since he made it look like so in previous interviews.

Without missing a beat, Ford stated sarcastically, “No, thank you very much. That’s how dumb I am” before admitting that he did know about Red Hulk all this time and was just trolling the MCU fans. Again, the man is iconic.
