While it hasn't been official an "Indiana Jones 5" movie has been expected to be in the works following Disney's acquisition of the George Lucas' franchise in 2012.
Now that the giant studio company has announced it's plan for the future of the "Star Wars" franchise, it's expected that it will do the same to the classic adventure series that previously starred Harrison Ford.
Deadline exclusively reported that an "Indiana Jones 5" movie is most likely in development and could announce details about the movie soon.
While everything is still in its early stages, speculations and rumors about Harrison Ford's possible replacement grew rampant, the latest is that "Jurassic World" cast Chris Pratt is being eyed as the new Indy.
While, this has yet to be confirmed, TMZ's cameraman had a chance to speak with the 35-year-old comedian and asked if he's in talks for "Indiana Jones 5" already.
"We can't assume it's confirmed yet, but you are in talks right?" TMZ cameraman asked Pratt.
"I do...No. That's the problem... I don't know, I might be, I just got back from the woods killing a bunch of stuff," he confusedly answered the question.
While he was not able to give a clear answer to the speculations, the fact that he did not deny the speculations only fueled the rumors.
According to previous reports, Disney is looking for an actor who could potentially portray the role of Indiana Jones for a long time.
"Regarding Harrison Ford, two more Indiana Jones features are in the negotiation stages as per Ford's contract clause on 'Star Wars,' which is the primary reason he didn't 'publicly' or 'privately' commit, or so I'm told," a source told MarketSaw back in February last year.
"Indiana Jones 5" movie casting also linked Robert Pattinson and Bradley Cooper.
"Disney is looking at its long-term options for the 'Indiana Jones' franchise," a source told Showbizspy. "They feel that the series has huge potential on many levels, starting with the films leading to other spin-offs like games which can generate more money than movies."
"Rob is top of the initial list because he has showed his acting stripes away from Twilight. But the competition will be stiff."
