"I don’t mean to disparage it. I’m just saying you have to do certain things that normally your mother would not want you to do — or your acting coach."

Hey, apparently Harrison Ford is in the upcoming Captain America movie! And, based on his fairly deadpan description of what it was like making the movie, it appears he doesn't hold it as one of his greats.

Harrison will be making his Marvel debut in next year's Captain America: Brave New World. He will be playing Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, aka Red Hulk, which fans got a glimpse of in recent teaser trailers.

Well, at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Harrison was asked by Variety what it took to make the movie, especially with its use of motion capture. The 82-year-old replied, "It took not caring."

"It took being an idiot for money, which I’ve done before," the actor continued. "I don’t mean to disparage it."

“I’m just saying you have to do certain things that normally your mother would not want you to do — or your acting coach, if you had one. But it’s fun, and I enjoyed it. I had a great time, and I’m delighted at the response that we got with the trailer," he concluded.

Harrison was then asked, "What part of your inner nerd are you scratching, are you satisfying by joining the MCU?" In response, he said, "If I'm going to scratch, it's usually my butt."
