While Cooper may or may not be in the running, Disney could still be looking at Guardians for their new archeologist.
There have been a lot of strong rumours this year that Chris Pratt has a role should he want it, and he hasnt exactly gone out of his way to deny it. While admitting that playing Indy would be cool, he said: "Its all nothing until its something, and so far? Its not something. The pressure would come because its such a great franchise, and you wouldnt want to get it wrong. It would have to be perfect to do it, you know what I mean? So, well see. But like I said, its nothing until its something.
That isnt a firm no then. Its not even a soft no, really. It does sound like hed be interested in the film, and it wouldnt be a surprise if its a conversation thats already been had, at least informally. Hes shown he has the ability to deliver on both action and comedy, and with Guardians and The Lego Movie was the biggest star of 2014, something set to continue this year with the lead in Jurassic World. Theres a chance that he may not want to get tied up in yet another franchise, but everything so far suggests hes top of the list.
