Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Indiana Jones 5
I'm hopeful, as they have something to prove after Crystal Skull, and Lucas is not involved. And this is almost certainly Ford's last crack at the role.
I suspect there will be some kind of parallel storyline, with Indy older in the 60's and younger in the 30's/40's, with Chris Pratt or someone taking over the role. I actually hope it isn't Pratt (someone like Ryan Gosling or McConaughey would be better), but I think that kind of premise would work to keep it going forward.

And don't cast Shia Lebouef.

I think there's a bar set by that, and a different kind of expectation from fans now. People had the same feeling going into Crystal Skull as with Phantom Menace, like, hey, it's more Indiana Jones/Star Wars!! I'm sure it'll be awesome!! And then they weren't, or at least not *as* awesome in the case of Crystal Skull. This time, people are more wary, and the production team knows they need to deliver something outstanding.

Heck, they could branch off three or four more lead characters like Marvel is doing, set in the 20s, 30s and 40s and all knowing each other. It's about as good as a genre can get for that kind of thing.
Ford won't be part of that though. It's just shy of 35 years since the first played the part.

Transitioning from colonial pulp to Cold War paranoia---and paralleling that with a roswellish alien story--- was a bold move they just did not go far enough with. Ford was/is old, and changing the series core style was necessary to continue the series. If anything, I think they didn't go far enough in making it different from its predecessors.
I totally agree.

I agree with Gary that the transition attempted in Crystal Skull was probably the right idea, but that movie is just terrible. And not just a "bad Indiana Jones" movie, but a bad movie all around. There have always been goofy, unrealistic elements in the IJ movies, but Crystal Skull is so over the top AND crams it in your face. While watching it, I kept waffling between angry and sad. There are some movies where I expect to be assaulted by stupidity; this one surprised me.
