Disney reportedly wants Chris Pratt to be the next Indiana Jones
Are Harrison Ford's days of adventuring as Indiana Jones behind him? According to a "dishy informed rumor" from an insider, Deadline reports that Disney is seeking Chris Pratt — who played a distinctly Indiana Jones-ish character in last summer's megahit Guardians of the Galaxy — to take over Ford's whip and fedora in a reboot of the Indiana Jones franchise.
2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull introduced Shia LaBeouf as Indy's son Mutt Williams, who many expected would eventually take over the franchise. That didn't pan out, but Indiana Jones remains a hot property; last year, it was widely rumored that Bradley Cooper was a favorite to star in a reboot of the franchise, though producer Frank Marshall quickly dismissed those reports as false.
