BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Who else could play Indiana Jones?

**Posted by SpiralStaircase** March 21, 2014 6:57 pm

Now I'm a huge fan of the Indiana Jones movies and it is inevitable that they will eventually make a new movie. Now in my opinion there is no other Indie except Harrison Ford, but the sad fact is, he's too old to play the character now, so they would have to cast someone new.

But who?

Who do you think could play the role, or do you think it would be better starring a complete newbie?

Or do you think Indie should be left alone as no one could replace Harrison?

I find I'm torn, because I love the character and would like to see more of his adventures, but I don't think anyone could replace Harrison.

No one. And I mean NO ONE can be Indianna except Harrison.

Yeah, I know what you mean.*sigh* But they're gonna make a movie eventually. That's Hollywood for ya.

I reckon, but I am biased, Michael Fassbender. He even has a scar.

While I would agree, I've got Fassbender down for the next Bond!

There is no other Indiana Jones for me! ;-) It's Harrison Ford, none else.

Ah, it appears we all love our one and only Harrison Ford!

Such a shame we can't make him young again. I can't believe that he is over 70 now!!!

He never even crossed my mind but when I read the article I thought...yeah...I think he could do an OK job. Never as good as Ford, but in his own way, could bring the character alive again.

It's one of those roles that should never be recast, probably - Harrison Ford made it totally his, and imo, it should stay that way!
