It would be no surprise that greedy-ass Disney would be rebooting the 
franchise. There was no chance that they would let a money-maker 
franchise just sit idle. The only good news is that it won't be 
happening (if at all) until after the Politically Correct fool Kathleen 
Kennedy has stepped-down from her currentl role ... not that it will 
stop her interferring in any silly new version, unless she is 
completely kicked out of Disney / Lucasfilm, and even the other in the 
PC-brigade will still enforce silly 'equality' nonsense.


    Indiana Jones Reboot In The Work Claims Disney Rumor
    ----------------------------------------------------
    It's claimed that Disney and Lucasfilm have plans to fully reboot
    Indiana Jones.

    If the rumor is legit, that means Harrison Ford won't be returning
    to the iconic role he made famous in Raiders of the Lost Ark,
    released in 1981.

    Ford recently returned in Dial of Destiny in 2023, but it bombed
    big time at the box office.


    What does the rumor say?
    Word about the Indiana Jones comes from the Disney fan site
    The DisInsider. In their "mailbag" Q&A, a fan asked the site, "Are
    there any early plans for what's next in the Indiana Jones 
    franchise?"

    The site responded, "Lucasfilm is letting the franchise rest for a
    bit before they do a full reboot of the franchise."

    The site added that an announcement could be coming at next year's
    D23 Expo and said Indiana Jones is too much of an iconic IP to go
    to waste.


    Leadership changes line up with reboot rumor
    The Indiana Jones reboot rumor also comes alongside the recent
    speculation that Kathleen Kennedy will step down as president of
    Lucasfilm in 2026, aligning with Bob Iger's expected exit as Disney
    CEO that same year.

    Dial of Destiny, released under Kathleen Kennedy, was a major box
    office flop, reportedly losing Disney at least $134 million. The
    film featured Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who was rumored to be set up as
    Indiana Jones' replacement. However, director James Mangold later
    confirmed that the original ending was changed.


    What's next for Indiana Jones?
    There were also rumors at one time of an Indiana Jones spinoff
    series being developed for Disney+ but that doesn't look to be
    happening anymore.

    Presently, there is the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle video
    game, which has actually been well-received. Its first DLC gets
    released in September.
