20. Indiana Jones Reboot

The moment that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was confirmed to be Harrison Ford's final outing as the iconic adventurer, many began questioning the franchise's future.

And last year, word began doing the rounds that Disney was planning an Indiana Jones reboot after letting the series have a brief rest, with some theorising the reboot announcement could come as soon as Disney's D23 Expo this August.

However, this was recently contradicted by producer Kathleen Kennedy, who in an interview after announcing her departure from Lucasfilm, flatly confirmed that Disney wasn't actively pursing a reboot in any form right now. She said:

"I don't think Indy will ever be done, but I don't think anybody is interested right now in exploring it."

While an Indy reboot will almost certainly materialise eventually, it appears that Disney gave an immediate reboot a second thought - perhaps after mulling over The Dial of Destiny's shambolic box office performance.

Indy will return at some point, but right now he's looking at an extended stay in the museum.
