New Indiana Jones Movie More Than Just A Cash Grab? Harrison Ford's Fifth Reprisal Of Indiana Jones Unnecessary?

When Lucasfilm released Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it planned to replace Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones character with the archeologist's son Shia LaBeof, but America wasn't happy with the attempt.

Meanwhile, Harrison Ford went on to reprise his hugely popular Star Wars character Han Solo after Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012.

The move cost the aging action star a broken ankle and eight weeks' time spent resting and recuperating at his Los Angeles home. Injuries on the set included director J.J. Abrams, who broke his back trying to help Ford off the movie set, according to Vanity Fair.

This time around, Ford, one of the world's most iconic actors, who is now 73, will be 77 by the time the movie is released, which is stretching the character's believability, not to mention the actor's health.

Last year, Hollywood rumors circulated that Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt was slated to don Indy's fedora, but Tuesday's announcement that Harrison Ford will reprise the Indy role has seemingly destroyed that idea.

We don't know much about the fifth edition of the Indiana Jones franchise, but we do have lots of questions.

Will the movie be a reboot, relaunch, or retelling of the original story line? Will this be Indy's swan song, or will the aging action star be dragged into a possible sixth movie?

The Indiana Jones franchise was created by George Lucas and Spielberg while the two were vacationing in Hawaii. Now it's looking more and more like Lucas will be absent from the next Indy iteration bringing into question the new film's storyline.

Reboot more stuff, they like it.

Please Disney, don't mess up the classic Indiana Jones franchise.

The fifth Indiana Jones movie starring Harrison Ford is scheduled to hit theaters July, 2019.
