Looks like Harrison Ford is hyper-speeding away from a far, far away galaxy
to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As first confirmed by The Hollywood
Reporter, the STAR WARS icon will star in the upcoming fourth Captain
America film, NEW WORLD ORDER, as "Thunderbolt" Ross, a role that was
originated by the late William Hurt in 2008's THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

Ford's MCU debut arrives as he's preparing to bid farewell to the Indiana
Jones franchise, which will wrap up with James Mangold's fifth adventure
next year. Appearing at Disney's D23 Expo 2022 earlier this year, the actor
said that his last outing as the archeologist adventurer will be worth the
wait.

"Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of
us," Ford told the crowd. "I'm very proud to say that this one is
fantastic... Indiana Jones movies are about fantasy and mystery, but
they're also about heart. We have a really great story to tell, as well as
a movie that will kick your ass."

Speaking of kicking ass, CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER-- due in theaters
on May 3, 2024-- will be the first big-screen solo outing for Anthony
Mackie's Sam Wilson as everyone's favorite shield-carrying Avenger, having
assumed the mantle from Chris Evans's now-retired Steve Rogers. Co-written
by Malcolm Spellman, who oversaw the Disney+ series THE FALCON AND THE
WINTER SOLDIER, and directed by Julius Onah, the film also lays the
groundwork for THUNDERBOLTS, which is currently scheduled to follow NEW
WORLD ORDER into theaters on July 26, 2024.

As the title implies, Ford's Ross will also be a player in THUNDERBOLTS, a
team-up feature that's essentially the MCU's answer to The Suicide Squad.
The movie will pair some of Marvel's most popular anti-heroes — including
Black Widow's Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), FAWS's John Walker (Wyatt
Russell) and Ant-Man and the Wasp's Ava Starr (Hannah John-Kamen) — for a
top-secret mission that some of them may not survive.

Stay tuned to see if that top-secret mission involves uncovering a certain
Ark of the Covenant...

So there’s not one damn thing in there that makes me want to watch another
MCU movie.

Oh, yeah. Having grown up with all the original comics versions? And
watched them fail with their screen adaptations for, what, 40 or 50 years?
That first Iron Man was amazing.

(Cue the theme music)

Iron Man
Iron Man
Does whatever an iron can
Flattens foes
Twice his size
Real bad guys
He’ll Martinize
Look out!
Here comes the Iron Man

I never knew what that process was.

It was a dry cleaning franchise. They offered one hour processing by
using a nonflammable solvent instead of the normal flammable solvent.
Then other stores offered the same process.

A big point of theirs was that unlike washing with water,
the dry cleaning (and especially this one!) was this process
didn't shrink the garments.

All dry cleaning does this. The point was mainly since they didn't use a
flammable solvent, they could do it on the spot and was ready in an hour
or so, unlike other methods which had to be sent out to a different,
distant location and could take days before you got the items back.

Just made them flammable or dissolved them in acids instead.

They didn’t offer it during the summer here.

That doesn't make a lick of sense, as usual. Was it a process or a
franchise?

It was both. (My uncle helped run a cleaners.) The Martinizing people
provided product and promotion for which you, the cleaners, paid a flat
fee plus a percentage. They promised one-hour service but, in
practice, the cleaners would make you wait the usual one or two days.
There were competing franchises, but Martinizing is probably the
best-remembered.

I'm trying to remember the last time I brought something to the
cleaners. It was probably the suit I wore to my best friend's wedding.
That was in 1993, I think.

That was a brand name for a particular kind of dry cleaning - we had a
shop called "One Hour Martinizing" 2 blocks from us when I was growing
up.

They didn't seem any different from the usual dry cleaning
establishment :)

That's excellent. If only his sentence had said that instead of his
usual "I'm doing the best I can while the worms are eating my brain!"

I seem to remember "One hour Martinizing" on their signs but I'm not
sure it much matters now that it is nothing more than an anachronism.
Apparently it still exists though and was founded in 1949.

There was a short they play on RiffTRax about the dangers of attempting
to dry clean your clothes at home with gasoline, with hilarious results.
