If we're even entertaining the idea of a current celebrity playing Indy, I would possibly accept Bradley Cooper. His appearance in Nightmare Alley with the fedora gave off some Indy energy and he has that masculine charisma.
Just anyone but Chris fucking Pratt. I wouldn't be able to take him seriously.

Yeah people overstate the extent of the physicality needed in those previous movies. There was certainly some of it and he looked in especially great shape in Temple of Doom, but it's not like they're gonna have the dude climbing mountains and grappling onto vehicles in this one. Probably. Unless they have flashbacks with a younger CGI'd stuntman or something.
And tbh the fistfights and that sort of thing always looked pretty goofy even when Ford was in his prime. He never exactly looked like a trained boxer, to say the least. Which always added it to all for me, since much of the franchise is Indy getting fucked up and being in dire straits in various ways and then just barely making it out. Just being completely out of his depth but still managing to just skirt by by the skin of his teeth.
He lost a ton of weight recently due to the context of his Stranger Things role.
Yeah, several of the shots of Hopper searching the forest in S1 with his hat on seemed very intentionally designed to be evocative of Indy.
Yep. Probably why he gained weight for 3. To make the change in physical appearance more drastic.
I'm talking about what every asshole is crying about under every tweet or news following this film that lucasfilm wants to kill indy and replace him with the female co lead and how this is gonna be "woke garbage".
Which mangold had to come out and say wasn't true.
What you're talking about is basically one set photo (without the leads) and one tidbit that the artefact in the film has
time related ability
Or when he's confronted by the guard in the lab and rather than try to reason or fool him he just smiles and punches him in the face.
I have zero expectations for this. Indiana Jones really, really should have just ended after Last Crusade. There's just no need for this to be another endless franchise.
No. And the turd won't be in anything big at least for a good while.
Can't help but think about this whenever I see that:
Weirdest scene in an otherwise flawless movie.
It gets really weird and kinda hokey.
But it also finishes Picard's story and puts a bow on it outside the completely unnecessary hook for Season 3.
Would not be opposed to them doing it as a spin off anyways. The series doesn't have a ton of post-Temple of Doom expanded universe stuff, it's kind of an open sandbox.
The leaked action scenes have the answer if you're curious :
No he won't move like that at all, actually. Ford moves better than De Niro ever did and he has doubles for more intense stuff, then they use the Logan replacement technology.
After Top Gun: Maverick, I do.
Just needs a good script.
The scoundrel and the raccoon. It makes sense, you might be into something that could work here. But don't give me a reboot, please. Just recast the Indiana Jones kid and don't even explain it.If we're even entertaining the idea of a current celebrity playing Indy, I would possibly accept Bradley Cooper.

I don't care Ford pushing 80, but please more entertaining than that crap Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 🤦
And that was Spielberg direction... 🤦

Indy not played by Ford has no point. The character is a pastiche of various 40s serial stars. It's just Ford's performance that defines the character beyond that.
Culture is over and they're not making any more movie stars, so I fully expect the successor to Harrison Ford to just be a deepfake of Harrison Ford.
Honestly, I'm less concerned with Ford's age and physicality than I am the story and what time period this will be set in.
Crystal Skull fumbled the attempt to bring indy into a new cinematic pastiche with new era appropriate villains so where do you go from there?

This right here. II wish they could've put Ke Huy Quan in this, but I'm sure this has been filming well before EEAAO.

He's moving like Indy judging by that clip. If he's is into the script enough to make an effort I think he'll be fine. He stays in good shape.
When Disney bought Lucasfilm and there were talks of a new Indy, I always thought Cooper would be a better replacement if they went that direction, than the, at the time, popular idea of Pratt.If we're even entertaining the idea of a current celebrity playing Indy, I would possibly accept Bradley Cooper.

At this point, though, he may also be too old long term lol
On a side note crazy to think that Harrison Ford will be just shy of 81 by the time the film comes out.
You've just doomed us to a trilogy of Indiana Jones starring Tom Holland.If we're even entertaining the idea of a current celebrity playing Indy, I would possibly accept Bradley Cooper. His appearance in Nightmare Alley with the fedora gave off some Indy energy and he has that masculine charisma.

Sarcasm/troll meter - 10/10
I'll wait for a trailer in a few months.
Lol glad I am not alone here
