Indiana Jones 5 Cast And Rumors: Harrison Ford, Not Chris Pratt, Will Be Returning For Next Movie Installment With Steven Spielberg
Indiana Jones fans who are dying to have more adventures with the hunky archeologist may soon have their wish granted as the movie franchise is set to release a new Indiana Jones 5 movie in 2019. Contrary to earlier expectations, it is not Chris Pratt, but the original Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford will be taking the role.
Ford is slated to team up with director, Steven Spielberg under Disney Productions which previously bought Lucasfilms and all other movie franchise under it. Other characters for the movie were not yet revealed yet.
"Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can't wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019. It's rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn't be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven," Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn said in a statement.
The release of the next Indiana Jones movie set on July 19, 2019 marks the 11th year after the last installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released in 2008. And in that time, the Star Wars actor will also turn 77!
With the actor's age, netizens on Twitter were not fully convinced he can still crack a whip and had mocked him as too old for the role.
"#IndianaJonesTitles Suggested: Indiana Jones & The Secret Depends; Indiana Jones & The Last Gasp, Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of Senility."
"Indiana Jones and the get those damn kids off my lawn."
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Depends."
Some fans are also skeptical that the next Indiana Jones can still keep up the thrill that Crystal Skull was not able to achieve due to its use stereotypical Russian villains and the inclusion of far-fetched existence of aliens.
Also, the previous idea of replacing Dr. Jones being replaced by son, Shia LaBeof, is said not to have been received well by the public.
It can also be remembered that Ford met a leg injury in the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens which results to his difficulty to recuperate.
Indiana Jones is said to hit theaters in the same year together with Star Wars: Episode 9" and Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2.
