Harrison Ford sees potential in Indy 5.

Despite now being 71, Harrison Ford is still up to return to our screens as Indiana Jones should the opportunity arise.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Ford stated that he wouldn’t be against the idea of donning that fedora hat in the future.

“We’ve seen the character develop and grow over a period of time and it’s perfectly appropriate and okay for him to come back again with a great movie around him where he doesn’t necessarily have to kick as much ass,” the actor explained. “To me, what was interesting about the character was that he prevailed, that he had courage, that he had wit, that he had intelligence, that he was frightened and that he still managed to survive. That I can do.”

Following the fourth installment’s commercial success, taking almost $800million on a $185million budget, a fifth film could be a possibility, at least financially. Whether Spielberg or Lucas would be interested in returning is debatable, especially with Lucas’s wanting to concentrate on smaller films and Spielberg being tied up with other projects.

Whether fans will want a fifth outing is another question, particularly after divided opinions on the fourth film.
