Indiana Jones 5: Lucasfilm/ Disney haven’t sat down to talk about it yet.
Indiana Jones 5 will happen, but Disney haven’t spoken about it yet
With Lucasfilm going hammer and tongs on the brand new Star Wars movies that will kick off with Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a matter of weeks, attention is also starting to turn to their other big franchise, Indiana Jones. There have been rumours across the interwebs over the past few months that a new actor may assume the role inhabited by Harrison Ford for the last thirty-plus years, notable Chris Pratt in many reports, but according to producer Frank Marshall, that isn’t the case at all.
“We’re not doing the Bond thing where we’re going to call somebody else Indiana Jones,” Marshall told the British magazine Total Film.
Then, in almost the same breath, he said the following about Pratt’s rumoured involvement in a potential Indiana Jones 5.
“There are a lot of rumours,” Marshall said. “We haven’t even sat down to talk about Indy yet… at some point we’ll sit down. But there’s a bunch of people who could probably take the baton.”
We’ve also heard that Steven Spielberg wants to work with Ford again on a new movie to match the amount of times he’s worked with him as his current leading man, Tom Hanks in Bridge Of Spies.
We’re guessing that there is a lot of potentials out there, but nobody fits the mould as much as Pratt, surely. With his constant wit, and new found role as superhero in Guardians Of The Galaxy, and adventurer in this year’s biggest film (so far), Jurassic World, he’s got to be the frontrunner.
Once the heat is off of Star Wars, we’re sure that Disney will want to relaunch their other big potential franchise. With Steven Spielberg’s schedule being pretty full (he’s currently working on an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The B.F.G.), we may be waiting for a little while..
More news as we get it.
