If this is correct, it makes me wonder if

Spoiler: Unlikely to be a spoiler but disguising nonetheless

the film is set in the 1980s, as it reminds me of Ronald Reagan calling the Soviet Union an evil empire. I think it’s unlikely that they’ve jumped as far ahead 1983 when he made that speech, but Indy did take on the soviets last time out. But I’m probably just showing my age by remembering that speech!

And of course, there are swastikas in the posters, which I didn’t initially see on my phone, just the title. So yeah, unlikely to be the Russkis.

Indy is on a retirement holiday when he accidently bumps into the fourth reich who have been hiding out for 35 years on a small island in Scotland quietly building their elite forces and building the advanced technology that they did not have the time to build during WWII, and the biggest secret is that Hitler is alive and in suspended animation waiting to be brought back to life where he will start WWIII by using a device he created called a "laser" to burn a hole in the earths "ozone layer". lol

Honestly, I could go without seeing Pratt in any more big roles. He does well enough with what he's given in Guardians, but even besides his questionable personal stuff I don't think he's all that great an actor, and I don't think he could pull off a decent version of Indiana Jones.

It's not much of a meaty acting role. I think he fits the action adventure personality of Indy and if it's not a reboot he can make his character it's own thing.

Commander- We secretly built an underground lair somewhere no one would expect.....Scotland

 

[EnderAKH]

There was one Chris before Evans, Hemsworth, Pine and Pratt -- Chris Klein. Was gonna be the next big thing after American Pie, peaked with American Pie 2.

As I recall, wasn't he in the hunt to be JJ Abrams Superman back in the day?

That was Josh Hartnett.

I have a feeling anybody they go for is probably going to a big name with a history in a big franchise. If they are going to hand it off to someone else, they're going to want to go with someone that will get the headlines, and they trust can handle the pressure. In terms of look and the kinds of character's he's played in the past, Pratt feels like a pretty good match for Indy to me.

IMO I'm just burned out from his performances. They're not really stellar or out of the box. When he doesn’t have a talented writer like James Gunn writing him quippy one-liners, he’s just not that interesting

It's the same stoic/laid back/Whoa dude chill performance. All his characters are basically GI-Joe action figures.

He's even got a military background upcoming "The Tomorrow War". He needs a "Cherry" or "Taxi Driver" type of role to shake things up. Play something that's against his image.

He found one thing that worked in GOTG and hasn't moved outside that box since.

Just watched the Last Crusade in 4K. Picture quality was very good.
One more to go

They might as well hire Tom Selleck then. I kid, I kid! But how funny would it be if they prank him by saying he's finally got the job. Or at the very least, maybe they should have Tom appear in the next movie as a cameo.

I remember in the early 1990s there were rumours that Kevin Costner was going to play a villainous Jones brother in a 4th Indy movie. But had they gone down that route, surely Tom would’ve been the obvious choice.

You know, since this is probably the last IJ film, they really oughta fit in a Tom Selleck cameo somewhere. Fans would love it.

That's what I'm thinking. He could be another archeologist somewhere, possibly appearing at a dinner party which Indy is also attending. I picture the camera on his back, wearing a hat like Indy. We hear someone walking up to him and a voice saying, "Indiana Jones, I presume?"

Then we see Tom Selleck slowly turn around with a wide mustachio'd smile, "Why no. Whatever gave you that idea?" Puts out his hand for a shake "They call me Abernathy Jack!"

 

[fireproof78]

I can't see Selleck in the role at all. Be needlessly distracting from the overall story.

 

[Tuskin38]

If this wasn’t a fake…
I think I know where this is going. That circular structure is what “Die Glocke” (NAZI Bell) was chained to. That makes the bad guy Kammler…a paper clip deal. The Bell was called a time machine

If this isn't a fake, then we're not done with UFO's (Nazi UFO'S?!?) or other outer space stuff either.

It is fake. I posted a source earlier in the thread.

If they do go for a reboot, he should play Dr. Jones Sr.

Not Honolulu Tom?

Selleck is too serious.
