Harrison Ford Says ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Script Coming Together, Scoffs At Chris Pratt Talk

Harrison Ford was recently honored by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation along with actress-singer Lady Gaga. Ford received the Artists Inspiration Award. The award honors those who use their status to advance humanitarian and philanthropic causes. However, when Variety caught up with Ford on the red carpet, the topic of discussion wasn’t any charitable efforts. No, it was all “Indiana Jones 5.”

When asked about the status of ‘Indy 5,’ which was recently delayed until 2021 after Disney decided to move in a new direction with the script, Ford didn’t give too much of an update. “…We’ve got a script in production that we are all very excited about, and [I’m] looking forward to it,” said the legendary actor.

Of course, the main source of debate about “Indiana Jones 5,” which will see Steven Spielberg return one last time to the franchise, is whether or not the film will introduce another actor to take over the mantle. This was attempted in the last film, ‘Crystal Skull,’ with Shia LaBeouf in line to take over the franchise. However, once that film fizzled out with fans, any future plans were scrapped.

Most recently, in a bit of fan-casting and speculation, the name Chris Pratt gets thrown around as a possible replacement for Ford. Obviously, as he’s shown in films like “Jurassic World” and “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Pratt has the sort of Harrison Ford-esque style down. But when Ford was asked on the red carpet about Pratt’s possible involvement, the actor scoffed and as he walked away said, “I think it’s him or me.”

So, fans of the ‘Indiana Jones’ franchise shouldn’t expect a surprise Chris Pratt announcement anytime soon, if ever.

As of now, “Indiana Jones 5” has the expected release date of July 9, 2021. But considering that’s more than two years away, a lot can change. So, we’ll just have to wait and see.
