Can Dwayne Johnson Be The Next Indiana Jones?
Harrison Fordrecently put down his hat and bullwhip, playing Indiana Jones for the last time inIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. There have been many rumors about who would replace Ford in a potential reboot of the franchise. One interesting name isDwayne Johnsonwho already has his share of adventure films likeJourney 2: The Mysterious Island,the twoJumanjifilms,and Jungle Cruise.He carried those films with his charisma and star power.
He can undoubtedly bring the entertainment factor to an adventure film and can also commit to the physical action required out of something like Indiana Jones. But if one is thinking long term it might not be a clever idea since Johnson is already in his 50s. Therefore although it is an interesting choice and a clever name in terms of a commercial standpoint, it can prove to be detrimental if one decides to take it as long as Ford did.

Holland could be a perfect choice for Indiana Jones if one wants to start the character young and tell long-term stories. He can bring the required physicality and raw action that an action-adventure film needs.
Ke Huy Quan
Ke Huy Quanstarred inIndiana Jones and The Temple of Doomas Short Round. The films after that have not explored his character and this has left room for interesting stories that can come out of his character. Thus, instead of a proper reboot of the franchise, one can continue his exciting adventures as a grown-up man. And maybe we can also get a Harrison Ford reunion somehow that will make fans extremely happy and satisfied.
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynoldshas the cheekiness and sarcastic wit that is integral to the role of Indiana Jones. He also has the star power and he has never disappointed from his acting standpoint. His recent filmThe Adam Projectis a perfect film that will convince fans that he could take over the role of Indiana Jones.

Anthony Mackie
