Indiana Jones 5: 10 Rumours You Need To Hear

8. Bradley Cooper Could Be The New Indy

Around a year ago rumours swirled around the Cooper was the man that Disney wanted to replace Ford, especially if headed down the Bond-style route. While there hasn€™t been an awful lot of talk about him since then, he could still be in the running for the new film. He€™s show himself to be an actor with the requisite action chops, who would also be capable of delivering plenty of wisecracks. He€™s received three Oscar nominations on the bounce, which has sent him right to the top of the acting A-list, and he€™s probably a name most films will consider. He€™s already worked with Disney, voicing Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy, and it wouldn't be a total surprise if they gave him another call for this one. One casting rumour that would be a bit of a shock, and also did the rounds last year, is that which would see Robert Pattinson taking on the role. He has shown a willingness to take on risky and challenging films outside of the Twilight Saga, and proven he is a talented actor. However, his skill set doesn€™t really suggest he€™d be a good fit for Indy, and the ill-feeling many have towards the Twilight films means his casting would probably be greeted with a reception that makes the Ben Affleck Batman announcement look like the declaration of world peace.
