Everyone loves "Indiana Jones," but Harrison Ford as the fictional archaeologist hero at 71 years old calls for a reboot.
And yet he's still involved with the "Indiana Jones" series.
Back in February, MarketSaw reported that Ford is still in the running for at least two more films in the franchise as everyone's favorite hat-and-whip adventurer. Here's what their source claimed, "Regarding Harrison Ford, two more Indiana Jones features are in the negotiation stages as per Ford's contract clause on Star Wars, which is the primary reason he didn't 'publicly' or 'privately' commit, or so I'm told."
Despite the fact that Ford can still command the screen as an aging Jones, it has been suggested that there a possibility that the franchise would be passing the torch/hat/whip/snark to a more younger actor.
Which is exactly what KpopStarz is reporting. According to the site, Ford will "pass on his character" to Chris Pratt, who's currently hot thanks to his series of blockbuster films. Pratt has starred in "The Lego Movie" and "Guardians of the Galaxy," which are all acclaimed by critics and commercial successes. Pratt is set to debut in another massive franchise via "Jurassic World." Moreover, it has been insinuated that Pratt's Star-Lord/Peter Quill character has prepared him for the Harrison's role since his "Guardians of the Galaxy" character has been deemed as "Indy in space."
But Pratt might have stiff competition for the coveted role, if it is intended to be passed on. The site cited recent rumors about Bradley Cooper and Robert Pattinson eyeing for the same role. However, the actors in question have publicly stated that the rumors were fake.
Fandango also pondered with the idea of Pratt as the next actor to lead the franchise, and recalled a mockup of him as the next Indiana Jones. The photoshop appeared surreal, given the fact that Pratt wore clothes in the same monochromatic browns in his role as a rugged scientist in the upcoming "Jurassic Park" sequel.
There is no word from Pratt's camp about the rumors, but KPopstarz reported that the upcoming "Indiana Jones" sequel would be released soon.
