Bradley Cooper may just be the next actor to play the role of Indiana Jones.
According to Latino Review, Indiana Jones 5 may go the way of James Bond and reboot the series with a younger actor in the role of Indy. The website claims that Harrison Ford may still reprise his role as the series’ title character, but only if production can get started before a certain time. If not the film doesn’t start production in time, Bardley Cooper may land the role of Indy.
Latino Review makes sure to point out that Bradley Cooper has not been confirmed for Indiana Jones 5, but rather that he is one of the people being eyed for it. The website even claims that replacing Ford might not be a bad idea as he isn’t “the box office draw he once was and he is only getting older.”
Disney (DIS) signed a deal with Paramount Pictures to acquire the marketing and distribution rights to future Indiana Jones movies last year. Alan Horn, the chairman of Disney Studios, has said that they aren’t far along with the movie and that they don’t even have a story yet, reports Metro.
