    They had a good storyline to continue with Shia LeBeouf. Communists as antagonists instead of Nazis, etc.

    Lots of world events in the fifties, sixties and seventies.

      It's not really Indy without Harrison Ford.

      Maybe just drop the IP.

      I was only joking

        That's an arguable point. Thought they did a decent job with the tv series, considering the budget. Of course, that was Indy in his youth.

        In the MCU, the character is the star, not the person playing him. Is Indiana Jones a character that can't be separated from Ford?

          Mr. Ford is not very socially inclusive, it is time to let the character grow.

                        I’m reminded of S3 of Picard. Rehashed plot, old characters brought back. Yawn.

                          The commercial actually looks decent. The reviews from test audiences looks atrocious.

                                    Speaking of Indiana Jones reminds me of Young Indiana Jones which reminds me of Sean Patrick Flanagan which reminds me of the new movie Nefarious, which I went back and watched the full trailer, and I got to say it actually looks pretty good in a B movie kind of way. Channeling Ax's Movie Reviews, I'd recommend it.
