When Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion, they didn’t just get Star Wars. Indiana Jones was also part of the deal, and it now appears as if the studio is finally moving ahead with a reboot of the iconic property.
Chris Pratt’s name first emerged as a possible contender to take over from Harrison Ford last month, and another report would back that up when it revealed that Steven Spielberg had expressed interest in helming a new Indiana Jones movie (providing it had a good screenplay) starring the Guardians of the Galaxy actor.
When MTV caught up with Pratt at the Oscars on Sunday, he revealed that he has not yet been contacted about playing Indiana Jones. “It’s all nothing ’till it’s something, and so far it’s not something,” he teased.
As for how he feels about the pressure of taking on such an iconic role, he Jurassic World star added: “No, I don’t think it’s overwhelming to contemplate. It’d be cool. No one’s called me, you know, there’s a lot of talk about it. The pressure would come just because it’s a great franchise, you wouldn’t wanna get it wrong. So, for me, it would have to be perfect to do it. We’ll see.” Here’s hoping he gets that call at some point anyway!
