Disney might have a new face in Indy's hat when they get around to Indiana Jones 5. Details here...
NewsChris Pratt as Indiana Jones? It could happen if Disney gets their way. There had been rumors of this floating around in the past, but this is by far the most concrete they've sounded. Now that Disney has the Indiana Jones rights, they're looking to give Indiana Jones the Star Wars treatment, and revive the franchise with a fresh series of films.
But a fresh series of films will need a fresh star cracking the bullwhip, since Harrison Ford looked awfully bored in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Their safest bet? The guy who led a far less tested franchise to victory in 2014 with Guardians of the Galaxy. That's right...Chris Pratt.
What kind of shape could this franchise take? Would they pick up after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and get into some of Indy's adventures behind enemy lines during World War II? Maybe adventures set between Temple of Doomand Raiders of the Lost Ark? Certainly they wouldn't do prequels. Or would they...
We're not even close to Indiana Jones 5 just yet, but we had heard that there was already some chatter about it at Pinewood when Star Wars: The Force Awakens first started to ramp up production. We heard Janusz Kaminski's name mentioned as a potential director at one point, too. We'll keep a close eye on this one...
