I've been trying to think of an actor who could fill Fords shoes as Indy. The closest I've come is Nathan Fillion, or possibly, Josh Brolin. Anyone else have somebody they'd like to see don the Fedora?
Again I say: Somebody you've never freaking heard of! If you've eaten in ten Manhattan restaurants, you've been served by at least one actor capable of carrying a major motion picture.

Spread the jobs around *and* save money!
Make stars, don't hire them!
To start a franchise like Chris Helmsworth & Thor, okay. To continue a franchise, I don't know. I'd rather see someone like a Henry Cavill who had some type of resume & not pulled out of the woodwork.

I thought you'd rather see nobody at all! ;)
No, I'd rather see Ford. Don't you follow the threads?!

I'm pretty much over Harrison Ford. He's nearly 72 now and after the hypocrisy he's displayed over his "save the planet" schtick, well, let's put Indy to bed. After all, "it's not the age, honey it's the mileage."
Anyone see him trying to make us think about the pain the Earth feels when trees in a rainforest are cut down? From a celebrity who owns seven airplanes and one time flew a helicopter to get a cheeseburger no less...
Try to stomach this until the 1:44 mark ~ at least the guy in this shoddy guerrilla interview tried to get Ford on the record as to whether Shia ruined Indy 4 or not. Ford could immediately regain my respect (as if he cares) if he'd go on the record contradicting George Lucas's claim that he had always intended Greedo to shoot first.
I have to agree with Harry Knowles of AICN when he said "Indiana Jones could be a character very much like James Bond. Think about it, when Sean Connery (first) left Bond, it was five pictures into that franchise, and the movies continued after the role was recast."

I'm also convinced it should be an unknown.
If I was 'over' every celebrity that I didn't agree with his/her political views, I'd be watching & listening to virtually nothing mainstream.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was the source material for Indiana Jones. There was no other medium (ie books, movies, shows, etc.) to reference. That's why I separate characters like Han & Indy from characters like Bond, Batman, & Superman. You can say Connery & the movies portrayed Bond differently then from the novels. You cannot say that about Ford with the Indiana Jones (or Han) character.
I'm against an unknown, because as many people who have said OHMSS was a really good Bond movie, I never hear "and that Lazenby guy was great." If they're going to reboot/relaunch/NOW! the franchise, I think its better to stick with someone who has been in movies, but hasn't broken through yet. Bale, Maguire, Cavill, Jackman all were acting in movies before their big break as an iconic character. I wouldn't want a well-known star, but he should have some type of a resume.

If he can still play the role despite that age, sure. Shouldn't Indy get 1 final adventure?
M
He did.
A movie so bad that even Cate Blanchett and Karen Allen couldn't save it.
Not quite yet. We need one with Sallah, Willie Scott, & an adult Short Round. Mutt will have to be too busy returning to school to appear in the 5th one :(
at least the guy in this shoddy guerrilla interview tried to get Ford on the record as to whether Shia ruined Indy 4 or not.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg ruined Indy 4.
I'm not even gonna lay any blame on the scriptwriter for once, because he was just fleshing out Lucas' story. Like Mr. LaBeouf, he was in a "Garbage-In, Garbage Out" situation.
I don't know if Lucas and Spielberg were indulging Ford's vanity, or if this was an embarrassing attempt for all of them to recapture a golden moment of their collective youth... I hope they had a lot of fun making it, because I sure didn't have fun watching it.*
*Except for seeing Karen Allen again. She was the only reason I paid to see it. Recapturing a few golden moments of my own...
This thread has made me think about a film that would feature the further adventures of Mutt Jones and an adult Short Round.
This happened. I had that thought.
Gosh. I kind of like that idea. They could start by visiting an elderly Indy in a retirement home or a bungalow in Beliz with a live-in assistant (or older Karen Allen) and he tells them about an important archeological find that got away and he has to radio instructions to them throughout the film, always having the right answer to the riddle, until the final one, when Mutt goes by his hunch which is opposite Indy's answer, and this time Mutt's right, but only because Short Round was there... or something along those lines.

If that's even considered a possible idea...I'm voting a new Indy actor. That's like expecting a great steak dinner & getting steak flavored tofu, shaped like a steak.
Mutt to the Indy franchise is what the kid did to Superman Returns.

Now if we're talking about replacing Shia as Mutt, I'm onboard however they decide to proceed ~ LOL

I know Fillion already wants to play that Uncharted guy. Close enough, eh?

Been watching Mad Men season six recently. How about John Hamm?

On the series, I could stomach the kids. The movies not so much.

It's nice someone went to the trouble to put them all on YouTube.

Maybe an Indy reboot IS in our future, sans Mutt
Keep the series set in the 1930s, which is the most pulpy of eras.
As fond as I am of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (Li'l Indy aside), the character is at his best when he's tangling with Nazis.
I know Fillion already wants to play that Uncharted guy. Close enough, eh?
A Howard the Duck reboot!
Disney + Marvel + Lucasfilm = no more Mr. Nice Duck 2015
Even Josh Whedon is pitching the idea - cheekily :)
