Lucasfilm says it would “never” make Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford was 38 when he started filming Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark. This was in 1981. Now Ford is 79. It’s safe to say that he isn’t getting any younger.
Indiana Jones 5 is a mystery to us. It’s scheduled to release in 2023. This is the first Indiana Jones movie that has not been directed by Steven Spielberg or written by George Lucas. However, the film’s creative ingenuity shows how it portrays Ford.
Are you excited for Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucasfilm? As we wait for the series premiere, remember the incredible trailer below.
Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, recently confirmed that. Kennedy spoke out about the failure of Solo Star Wars Story and said that it was impossible to duplicate Ford’s work. In Ehrenreich’s defence, he did a great job. His performance with Solo was not the problem. However, you shouldn’t be surprised to see Indiana Jones as a young man in the future.
Kennedy spoke with Vanity Fair and said that there should be times along the way when you learn things. It may have been a learning moment for Solo. Many people have discussed how Solo could have been a TV series. Even if Solo were a TV series, Harrison Ford would not be Han Solo. It’s the same thought. Perhaps I should have known this sooner. Without Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones would not have been possible. I just finished the fifth film, and I can tell you that there was not a single day that I wasn’t like, “Yes, this is Indiana Jones.” ‘”
She continued, “Maybe, I’m closer than ever to Indy’s DNA, and always have, than when I first came into Star Wars. Because now it seems so clear that we cannot do that.” These things get you excited, and you want to return to them. That feeling is what you want back, so you are trying to recreate it.
Harrison Ford is the only person I can imagine Indiana Jones without. However, Ford would be well into his 80s when a sixth movie was in the works. This raises the question of whether or not a sixth film will ever come to fruition.
