Indiana Jones 5 might go straight to DVD. Apparently they’ve done numerous pre-screenings with various endings and no one likes any of them. Did anyone like the last Indiana Jones movie? I wanted so badly too, but I couldn’t. It lost me when he survived a nuclear blast by jumping inside a fridge. And don’t get me started on Shai Leboeuf and how they made it look like he could take Indy’s place. Speaking of, insiders say that the story involves Phoebe Waller Bridge taking over after Indy dies. I’m guessing people don’t like the idea of him dying. Anyway, Disney execs are freaking out about the poor receptions and are considering moving it straight to Disney Plus.
I tried to imagine what they could do with TV series like they do with Marvel and Star Wars characters, but outside of Indy, there aren’t any other characters that stand out on their own. I suppose they could return to the Young Indiana Jones concept that they tried in the 90s. That or get a completely different character to play Indiana.
