Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull did benefit a financial success which in Hollywood is enough to encourage a sequel. I know the fans seem to not like it, but I for one wasn’t completely against it. It wasn’t my favourite chapter, but I thought it was a good fit with the pulp adventures of Doctor Jones.
Well the holy triumbrant has gathered to decide if they want to do another chapter, and prospects are looking good that a fifth chapter has a good chance at being made.
Screencave quotes Harrison Ford:
“The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.”
I am hopeful about a new Indiana Jones chapter, even with Mutt and Mrs. Jones in tow. I knew this latest revival attempt was going to be hard to please after so long since the last chapter. But at least now they have reactions to hopefully build on.
Even Lucas backed off the JarJar and Medichlorians when he was so universally hated, so maybe he will listen this time and a followup would benefit from the feedback.
