This article contains minor spoilers for Captain America: Brave New World.
Harrison Ford has opened up about his new penchant for saying yes to projects without actually looking at a script.
The Hollywood octogenarian has had an especially jam-packed few years, which have included prominent roles in the Apple TV+ comedy Shrinking, the Western drama 1923 and, of course, the reboot of the Indiana Jones franchise.

For both of his TV ventures, Harrison has spoken in the past about how he signed on without ever reading a script, based solely on the reputation of their creators.
In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, he revealed this approach extended to his role in the Marvel franchise.
“Again, no script,” he told the US outlet. “Why not? I saw enough Marvels to see actors that I admired having a good time.”
