Harrison Ford may no longer be the face of the "Indiana Jones" franchise.
According to the Latino Review, those who are seeking to make an "Indiana Jones 5" are looking into another actor to continue on with the franchise, sort of like the "James Bond" franchise recasting their lead every few years.
"There is a date and if Indiana Jones 5 is not moving forward by then, the studios are 100% prepared to recast a younger Dr. Jones and ready up a new trilogy," the Latino Review reports. "Let's be realistic, Harrison is not the box office draw he once was and he is only getting older."
The "Indiana Jones" franchise isn't allegedly looking to reboot the series with a new actor, but rather passing the torch to someone else and continuing Indy's legacy. The Latino Review reports their insider sources claim production already has a leading man in mind for the role:
And who just might be one of the actors that the studio is looking at ? The word is that they are looking at several but Bradley Cooper is at the top of the list.
As to who might be writing the next Indy? We are hearing that Frank Darabont might be taking a crack at the franchise once again. All we heard is that Darabont pitched an idea, what that idea is, I have no clue as our source wouldn't say.
Let's also get it straight, COOPER doesn't have the role or signed the deal, it's just someone who they are looking at to play the role.
Cooper is an Academy Award-nominated actor who has starred in several blockbuster films. His latest box-office hit was "American Hustle," starring alongside Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar-winning actor Christian Bale and Golden Globe winner Amy Adams.
What do you think about Cooper starring in the "Indiana Jones" franchise? Would you rather see Harrison Ford in one more film? Let us know in the comments section below.
