Disney Is ‘Talking About’ the Next Indiana Jones Film

Fair warning, the title is a teaser, but it's kind of a fun one.

Here's a few excerpts from the article:

Producer Kathleen Kennedy says Disney 'will one day' make an Indy movie

Ever since Disney acquired the Indiana Jones film rights in 2013, there has been an assumption that some plans for another installment in the franchise would be forthcoming sooner rather than later. Now, producer Kathleen Kennedy has made it quite clear that Disney fully intends to keep Indy’s spirit alive on the big screen.

...

There were recently rumors that Jurassic World star (and erstwhile Burt Macklin) Chris Pratt was being considered for the role made famous by Harrison Ford, but Kennedy did not address whether those rumors have any validity.​

If Pratt becomes the new Indy, will they cast Rocket Raccoon as the new Short Round?

MONEY!

Actually I like the idea of Pratt taking over the roll as Indianas son but not so much him being recast as Indiana. I just hope they can get things together in a timely fashion so Ford can at least be involved with the movie.

I recall hearing that the only reason Harrison ford agreed to a SW movie appearance was to get another Indy movie.

I thought they were kind of grooming Shia to take over - maybe too much drama in his personal life. I like the idea of Pratt or possibly Cooper. Crystal Skull was a little "meh." And it's depressing watching Harrison get really, really old.

Yeah, I thought the same about Shia, but it seems like he is becoming a little too much Juaquin Phoenix to be dependable these days. Don't really understand why. He actually used to talk in the media about staying out of the "ex-child-star" drama like others had had. But I do think his off-stage antics have had an effect on his dependability and his bankability as a box office draw.

If Harrison Ford does not play the main role in the next film (which could still happen), he might be paired with his "son" (whether it be Shia or a recast person) for a new adventure that sets up a continuation, rather than a complete recast of Indy himself. But a recast Indy could be good, too, because it would be able to be set in the '40s again.
