He just turned 80 earlier this week.

However, there’s rumors that Chris Pratt will replace him.

Pratt already starred in the “Jurassic World” and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchises.

It seems he’s not eager to draw fan ire replacing such a beloved character.

He shut down the rumors on a recent appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast.

“I don’t even know who Steven Spielberg is. Who? Steven Who?” Pratt joked.

He said he once saw a quote from Harrison Ford saying, “When I die, Indiana Jones dies” and he didn’t want to be haunted!

The real quote was from a 2019 TODAY interview, where Ford said, “I’m Indiana Jones. When I’m gone, he’s gone.”
