GOTG's Chris Pratt Wanted For Disney's INDIANA JONES Reboot
We all thought he'd make a great replacement for Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones after his turn in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and now Deadline are reporting that it might just happen -- though they caution talks are "very early". Click on for more details...
According to Deadline, Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World) is the man Disney want to fill Harrison Ford's fedora in their Indiana Jones reboot. The studio purchased the rights from Paramount back in 2013, and has apparently now "set its sights on Chris Pratt as the swashbuckling archaeologist they hope to build the new franchise around". There's no indication in the report as to whether Pratt has responded or an offer has been made, but Deadline themselves caution to take this as a "dishy informed rumor" for now. We first got word that Disney might be thinking about a reboot all the way back in March of last year, but this is the first we've heard since then. There is also some Twitter buzz around Pratt's GOTG cast-mate Bradley Cooper being looked at for the role, though Deadline make no mention of that. What do you guys think about this?
