Damn. Massive plot hole. Although, the knight did look old as hell.

The only way this is good news is if Harrison Ford, who has never been a good actor but has become progressively and aggressively worse as he's aged, is in the movie as much as Peter Falk was in Princess Bride and for the same reason (i.e. telling his grandson a story). The star needs to be a Chris Pine / Chris Pratt type guy, who has flash, charisma, and humor.

No. Indiana Jones is not James Bond. Harrison Ford is Indy. If anyone other than Harrison Ford was to play Indiana Jones, I would never spend another dime on the series.

I see it as a passing of the torch type movie, perhaps? Pratt or Chris Pine would make a decent Indy probably but it's hard to imagine anyone except Harrison Ford playing the role while he's alive.

No way this works.

If there isn't even a script yet, that puts the movie at least a few years out. That would make HF 75+.

Can't see it.

Fifth?

Raiders (1), ToD (2), Last Crusade (3)...

This would be the fourth, wouldn't it?

This is what I came to post.
Guys...relax. IF he's in the movie, it won't be the entire movie, swashbuckling through it and kicking arse.
It will just be in some cameo like above, a nod to the past and sentimentality.

He could play a role like Sean Connery played in The Last Crusade. That could work. The problem is they'd need to find a foil to play the young buck and hopefully avoid the nepotism that resulted in the casting of Shia LeDouche in the most recent abortion of a movie.

Oh they will.
Ford will either be his old self and then they'll flashback to the next young actor playing Indy, or he'll be himself with his son, doing stuff, a la Connery.

I think the first scenario is what they want to do.

So they are going to have a flashback of an actor playing Ford playing Indy???
That ain't going to work... I won't mind a total reboot with a well chosen actor playing Indy as along as it involves kicking Nazi arse...
