Chennai, Feb 8 Legendary actor Harrison Ford, who plays the US President in eagerly awaited action extravaganza Captain America: Brave New World, has now said that what he was looking for in the role of the President was an emotional reality and an emotional issue that he could work through in the context of the overall story.

But there’s also a strong emotional character story.”

Sharing insights about his character, Ford explained, “The Marvel characters themselves certainly have wonderfully interesting aspects of their personalities, but what I was looking for in the role of the President was an emotional reality and an emotional issue that he could work through in the context of the overall story.
