I like that idea. Could be the sending off Harrison needs if done right.

This is 13 years after Crystal Skull...which itself was 19 years after Last Crusade. Harrison Ford is in good shape but he was looking labored in Crystal Skull.

The script writer for Mission: Impossible and Jurassic Park once worked on the script for Indy 5 and has confirmed he's once again back on the project. It's now 2 years till the films planned release.

This needs to be done as a looking back type story with someone else playing Indy, he was too old in Chrystal Skull, and it showed then.Harrison is 77 years old now so 79 by the time this comes out, if there are no further delays.

I don't really want to see anyone else playing Indy. And I say that knowing full well that others already have played Indy.

Let sleeping dogs lie and find new heroes.

I know he's really old but... I'll still be there day one. It's like Arnie etc, there's loads of rust but I still find these aging icons more alluring to the cinema than pretty much all young pretenders. They just need to direct it well enough and make it less visibly obvious as they did in Skull.

[Dogg Thang]

Given Crystal Skull is over 10 years old, I think his age is going to be way more visible now.

[Neon Ignition]

It's definitely the role with the biggest risk associated to it in terms of showing his age. I didn't really blink at him in other roles since then like I've stopped thinking about it when it comes to Stallone even though he's only 4 years younger than Ford. There's a clear physical difference between the two but whilst Ford is definitely older aged now Skull reeks of directoral issues (weird to say given it's a Spielberg film) so I'm open to the idea that Disney will be conscious of it this time and will help to try and better seam things together (especially with feedback from Skull)

[Cassius_Smoke]

As long as its written with his age in mind. I don't want to see him using his whip to swing into car windscreens or surviving nukes in fridges.

He's 77 years old. Everything he's doing from hereon in is for personal amusement.

This bit from the Crystal Skull wiki is interesting:

"To prepare for the role, the 64-year-old Ford spent three hours a day at a gym, practiced with the bullwhip for two weeks,^[4] and relied on a high-protein diet of fish and vegetables.^[5] Ford had kept fit during the series' hiatus anyway, as he hoped for another film.^[6] He performed many of his own stunts because stunt technology had become safer since 1989, and he also felt it improved his performance.^[7] He argued, "The appeal of Indiana Jones isn't his youth but his imagination, his resourcefulness. His physicality is a big part of it, especially the way he gets out of tight situations. But it's not all hitting people and falling from high places. My ambition in action is to have the audience look straight in the face of character and not at the back of a capable stuntman's head. I hope to continue that no matter how old I get."^[8] Ford felt his return would also help American culture be less paranoid about aging (he refused to dye his hair for the role), because of the film's family appeal: "This is a movie which is geared not to [the young] segment of the demographic, an age-defined segment [...] We've got a great shot at breaking the movie demographic constraints."^[7] He told Koepp to add more references to his age in the script.^[9] Spielberg said Ford was not too old to play Indiana: "When a guy gets to be that age and he still packs the same punch, and he still runs just as fast and climbs just as high, he's gonna be breathing a little heavier at the end of the set piece. And I felt, 'Let's have some fun with that. Let's not hide that.'"^[10] Spielberg recalled the line in Raiders, "It's not the years, it's the mileage,"^[10] and felt he could not tell the difference between Ford during the shoots for Last Crusade and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.^[11]"
