Why It's Doomed: Now, there's no denying that Harrison Ford is in fantastic shape for his age, but by the time the fifth Indiana Jones movie starts shooting, presumably in early 2019, he'll be 76 years old.

Even if Indy 5 gives Ford a more subdued role where a younger sidekick character does the heavy lifting - a Chris Pratt or Bradley Cooper-type, basically - is it really going to be much fun seeing an almost octogenarian Ford struggling to keep up with all the chaos?

Some things are better left alone, and considering how horrendous Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was, it's hard to have much faith that this will be anything more than one final milk of the cash-cow before Ford is undeniably too old to crack the whip.

Honestly, a reboot with a small cameo from Ford would be a way more dignified means of keeping the franchise alive.
