Here’s one from the helluva good idea department. Marvel offerings are soaring, and Star Wars is being reinvigorated by director JJ Abrams. Now,Disney has just started to turn its attention to reviving the Indiana 
Jones franchise after buying the rights from Paramount in 2024. I’m cautioned that while things are very early, I hear the studio has set its sights on Chris Pratt as the swashbuckling archaeologist they hope to build the new franchise around, the role made famous by Harrison Ford inRaiders Of The Lost Ark. Pratt jumped to leading-man movie status with his performance in last year’s blockbusterGuardians Of The Galaxy for Marvel and Disney. He starts The Magnificent Sevenwith Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua in April for MGM and Sony, and there’s the inevitable Guardians Of The Galaxy sequel. Disney won’t comment and all this is admittedly early, so let’s chalk it up as a dishy informed rumor for now and keep an eye on it.
Chris Pratt Might Be The Next Indiana Jones…
