10 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Are Really Reboots

1. Indiana Jones 5

By the time Indiana Jones 5 starts shooting, Harrison Ford will be 76 years old, which makes it rather likely this will be his final time playing the character, especially with Disney's CEO Bob Iger implying last year that the series will move on from Ford after this film.

Rumours have swirled for some time that Disney is interested in bringing Chris Pratt on-board to play a new Indiana Jones-esque character, a sidekick to Indy who will essentially become the new franchise protagonist at the end of the fifth film.

It's hard to imagine Ford, even in his good health, carrying an action movie by himself, so Pratt or another hot young actor will almost certainly do the heavy lifting, as the torch is passed from one generation to another. A rebootquel, then.

True sequel or secret reboot? What's your verdict on these upcoming movie "sequels"? Shout it out in the comments!
