Although talks of a fifth “Indiana Jones” movie have been going on for years now, fans are wondering what the future of the franchise will be without Harrison Ford.
Rumors have been churning that “Jurassic World” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” leading man Chris Pratt are in talks to take on the role of Dr. Henry Jones Jr., himself, but what does Ford have to say about it?
And is he ready to let someone else take over the leading role in the popular, award-winning franchise?
Ford’s Response
Like Pratt, Ford, 78, has also been the leading man in two very successful franchises: “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars,” playing the iconic role of Han Solo alongside acting legends Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.
When asked what he thought about Chris Pratt taking over the franchise, Ford was adamant.
“Nobody is gonna be Indiana Jones,” Ford declared. “Don’t you get it? I’m Indiana Jones. When I’m gone, he’s gone. It’s easy. This is a hell of a way to tell Chris Pine this. I’m sorry, man.”
Although some fans thought he was joking, Ford said that he was serious about his statements.
Wait, Pratt or Pine?
Although Pratt, 41, has been connected to “Indiana Jones 5,” Pine has been connected to another famous franchise that Ford has been involved in.
Patty Jenkins, director of “Wonder Woman,” has been slated to direct “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron” which has a tentative release date of 2023.
There are rumors swirling that Pine, 40, has been attached to that project, but no details have yet been released.
Pratt Might Still Appear
