So it would only be young Indiana Jones for as long as it could go on and once it would hit a certain point maybe a 12 or 13 movie series maybe then reboot, or T.V. Show for smaller or more character driven adventures. I'm gonna present a few ideas for possible artifacts and titles and crews for an Indiana Jones film series, but the idea would be as Movie 1 would be filming, movie 2 would be in pre-production and kinda do 3 back-to-back with 6 months off in between the movies for the actors, maybe releasing them 1 movie every year.
So I felt to do a different Director writing team to go while each film is filming, the other crew would be setting up the next film, and finishing pre-production up as the film is releasing and taking the 6 month break for the actors then filming. Maybe a year for Production on each film from Writing to Shooting to Editing to Release.
It might seem like an Odd idea. But Indiana Jones is a fun character and Overall I think this type of attention to him would be very much welcomed by fans and the results of such labor from so many parties would be absolutely astounding and successful! This could be the best Disney Franchise yet!

He's a smart Producer puts his money is cool projects and I know he's a good friend with J.J. And since J.J. Is doing Star Wars as his big Production Project I think Roberto is a good person to produce a Indiana Jones Continuation. I chose him over his Ex-Film Partner Alex Kurtzman, because Roberto is more involved with the Bad Robot Productions.

Joe Johnston [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Willow, Captain America The First Avenger]: I know Joe is a person who really has Raiders in his system so much it affects his work and it does it well in some of the best ways. I think he is a smart Filmmaker and I think he'd be a great voice in Continuing Indiana Jones, seeing as he worked on the original Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Kathleen Kennedy [Notable Works: Indiana Jones {Film Franchise} Schindler's List, Lincoln]: Kathleen is another voice that has always been with Indiana Jones.

J.J. Abrams [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Star Trek, Almost Human, Star Wars Episode 7]: I think J.J. Is a Necessity in bringing back another Lucasfilm related franchise. I think J.J.

Lawrence Kasdan [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Wyatt Earp, Dreamcatcher, Star Wars Episode 7]: I believe that Lawrence owns Indiana Jones as Much as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. He put a lot of tough work into Raiders of the Lost Ark and a lot of what it has became comes from Kasdan's final draft.

James Chinlund [Notable Works: The 25th Hour, The Avengers, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes]: I believe he does wonderful. I think his designs are strong and give a very world wide-opening view.

Anna B. Sheppard [Notable Works: Schindler's List, Inglourious Basterds, Captain America The First Avenger]: Her work is amazing, she's familiar with the 1940's designs, she's done such a wonderful job with character and we all know Indiana has a core design and I think she could play with that a little and have a little fun with the other characters.

John Williams [Notable Works: Indiana Jones {Film Franchise}, Star Wars {Film Franchise}, Superman]: Like I could think of anyone else that would do it. John Williams is a wonderful Composer, a legend in his own right that would be dynamic to see come back to Indiana Jones.

Chuck Russell he's good friends with Frank and they have crafted some wonderful work together and they have fun. I think he would do well with what Frank would bring to the table. Michael is a great writer, I think he does wonderful writing action scenes, I think his work on Little Miss Sunshine shows his character work is wonderful. I think together they're more than capable of bringing back Indiana Jones in big strong way.

Rian Johnson [Notable Works {As A Writer}: Brick, Brother's Bloom, Looper]: He's going to be writing and directing his own Star Wars Film, and that's a wonderful achievement for him as a Director, Writer, and Fan of the franchise. The lost city of Atlantis would certainly be a Sci-Fi Oriented picture and I love Rian's Sci'Fi style. I think he could make it authentic and not cartoonish. I think his script could be the best possible version of an Indiana Jones Sci-Fi Tale involving the Lost City of Atlantis.

Rian Johnson [Notable Works {As A Director}: Brick, Brother's Bloom, Looper]: Something respectful about Rian's work is that he writes what he directs, and knowing him, his visuals for Indiana Jones would be an amazing feat in modern filmmaking. I think with him involved with Star Wars I think he would be more than applicable to Indiana Jones.

Andrew Stanton [Notable Works {As A Writer}: Finding Nemo, John Carter, Wall-E] & Mark Andrews [Notable Works: Samurai Jack, John Carter, Brace]: It's no secret that I love their script for John Carter. I felt that John Carter was this Generations Star Wars and I stand by that. I think these guys know how to have a fun adventure movie, where you see heroes or villains in control of an object and the other going after. John Carter, as much as it was Star Wars did have a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe and I maintain theses guys would do phenomenal.

Andrew Stanton [Notable Works {As A Director}: John Carter, Finding Nemo, Wall-E]: Andrew is a great director. His work has such a unique and rushing energy to it, he has a great sense of adventure in his work and would be wonderful to Direct Indiana Jones. I think he would do a great job on Indiana Jones and would really have a hit on his hands and I think it would be past due. I think this would make him as famous a director as he deserves.
Artifact: The Spear of Longinus, a Weapon that once belong to the Roman Soldiers. The Spear was used in the eventual Crucifixion and execution of Jesus Christ. It was used to pierce his ribs, killing him and staining the spear eternally with his blood. Thus the Spear becomes a weapon of unsurmountable power turning the wielder invulnerable.

Abrams [Notable Works {As A Writer}: Alias, Super 8, Mission: Impossible 3]:, Roberto Orci [Notable Works: Mission: Impossible 3, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness], & Damond Lindeloff [Notable Works: Lost, Star Trek Into Darkness, Tomorrowland]: These guys have some real fun injected in their work. I think that to a point you have to get the right writers for the right artifact and the Spear of Destiny is more or less the "Rock Star" of Christian Artifacts, and it fits very well into the Indiana Jones World just because It was actually held by the Nazi's. Now I don't want this to be an adaptation of the Dark Horse comic. I would want to see what story these guys could come up with using the Spear of Longinus as a McGuffin and I think they would do wonderful and bring that sense of Fun they brought to Star Trek with them to use on Indiana Jones. No one could deny they'd craft an interesting Indiana Jones Script.

J.J Abrams [Notable Works {As A Director}: Star Trek, Super 8, Star Trek Into Darkness]: He's doing Star Wars, He's very into it and you can see that. I know he's not directing the other two sequels and I think he's very much approving of that. I believe that he would be a good director to bring into a sustained Indiana Jones Franchise. I think if the series was being built but was a few entry's in J.J. Would certainly improve on it. I think especially since he didn't jump start this franchise like Star Trek, he and his crew would know very well where to go with it and could do this job extremely well.
Artifact: The Tower of Babel was a tower built to reach Heaven. A touching act, a sentimental, God had divided the world, allowing man to reach anything he imagined. God had hidden the Tower from the world and Enchanted it to be a gateway to heaven. A secret lock was placed in the tower where one needs: The Word of God {The Ten Commandments/The Ten Commandments}, The Touch of God {The Seal of Solomon}, The Blood of God {The Spear of Destiny.} The Tower of Babel also hold's the only map to the Garden of Eden, as who ever is worthy enough to find it may return to God's Grace and the Garden fo Eden.

Stephen McFeely & Christopher Marcus [Notable Works {As A Writing Team}: Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Pain and Gain]: These guys are fantastic writers, Marvel isn't smart if they're not having them write a Captain America Script and an Iron Man Script, they would absolutely nail that. I think honestly First Avenger had so much Raiders DNA that they would be absolutely well within their realm writing Indiana Jones, Captain America was an Indiana Jones movie with Steve Rogers as the lead. They would do fantastic writing the script.

Joe Johnston [Notable Works {As A Direcotr}: Captain America: The First Avenger, The Wolfman, Jurassic Park 3]: Like I said, Raiders of the Lost Ark was such an influential project for him you can see something Indiana Jones related in everything he does, in some form. I think he has certainly grown as a Director and where the script has quality, he puts the right amount of work to make it fun, attentive, intelligent, and overall just what everyone loves about Indiana Jones.
Artifact: The Flaming Sword once blocked the Doors to the Garden of Eden. It was wield by an Angel, and represented the Wrath of God. It would have the ability to give the person that Wield it the Wrath of God. It is a weapon of unimaginable power.

Kenneth Branagh [Notable Works {As A Writer}: Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet, Love's Labour's Lost]: & Lawrence Kasadan [Notable Works {As A Writer}: Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Empire Strikes Back, Dreamcatcher]: I enjoyed a lot of Branagh's writing. He has a very character driven and story faithful edge to him, I think he would really work well writing alongside Raiders of the Lost Ark Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. I think the two could turn out one of, if not the best, Indiana Jones film of all time. They would work well opposite each other as writers and it would be something fans would love to see.

Kenneth Branagh [Notable Works: Hamlet, Thor, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit]: Kenneth has done exceptional work when it comes to action and character drama. No one can deny his take on Thor was about the only way to make the character that interesting to a wide Audience and I think Branagh has gotten better balancing character, story, and action. There's no doubt he would direct a fun, intellectual, and heartwarming and Shakespearian Indiana Jones.
Artifact: A fictional tomb, inspired by the Tomb of China's first emperor, an area ridden with booby traps and unpassable areas that are still being discovered and passed to today. It could hold some secret Chinese Treasure or weapon.

James Gunn [Notable Works {As A Writer}: Super, Slither, Guardians of the Galaxy]: I was extremely proud of James work on the Guardians' Script.

James Gunn [Notable Works {As A Director}: Slither, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy]: There's no bones about it, Guardians is by far one of the Strongest first big budget feature films of any director's career. It is James Gunn's Star Wars in a way and I really find that to be wonderful. He has a mountain of potential and I think Indiana Jones is a great area for him to really hammer out what he's great at, and work on what needs improvement in his style of filmmaking, as well as his films themselves. It would be a love letter to the fans for Gunn to Helm Indiana Jones.
Artifact: A mythological box, said to contain and trap all the World's evils. An artifct of unimaginable horror should it be opened and witnessed by the whole world.

Ashley Miller & Zack Stentz [Notable Works {As A Writing Team}: Thor, X-Men First Class, Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles]: I like these Guys, they have a great sense of adventure in their work, They have done amazing Jobs with character pieces and could certainly craft a script worthy of an Indiana Jones Titles. Their Thor Script was dynamic, I think their Indiana Jones would be even better.

Jon Favreau [Notable Works {As A Director}: Iron Man, Elf, Iron Man 2]: At his Core, Indiana Jones is the perfect type of Film Character for Jon. He's a charming, Intelligent, whitty, dedicated, and morally questionable {at times} hero, that you can't help but love. I think Jon would just about be one of the few Directors perfect for an Indiana Jones film. He would know exactly what to do with him.
Dr. Henry Jones Jr./Indiana Jones [Height: 6' 1", Age: 20's-30's]: Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Junior was an American archaeologist most famously known as Indiana Jones or Indy. Throughout his career he found numerous famous mythological artifacts, including the Sankara Stones, the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, and the Crystal Skull of Akator, which placed him in conflict with different groups across the globe.
Taylor Kitsch [Height: 6' 0", Age: 33, Notable Works: John Carter, X-Men Origins Wolverine, Friday Night Lights]: I love Taylor as an actor. He's a great performer and his John Carter was a very Harrison Ford Like character. I think he really has that edge and rogue-ness that Ford had as Han Solo. I think if anyone would be well equipped to take the role, and bring it back to the younger side of things, Taylor is absolutely the guy. I believe he would be this generations Indiana Jones and could certainly make the role his own.
Marion Ravenwood [Height: 5' 7", Age: 20's-30's]:Marion Ravenwood (later Marion "Mary" Williams) was the daughter of archaeologist Abner Ravenwood and the wife of Colin Williams, and later, Indiana Jones, with whom she had a son, Henry III or "Mutt".
Jennifer Carpenter [Height: 5' 9", Age: 34, Notable Works: The Factory, Dexter, White Chicks]: Jennifer is an Angel. She is so beautiful that it's hard to think of anyone else in this role. I know Marion is a younger character than Indy but she would do such a fantastic job in this role. I think this would be a match made in heaven. She has talent, she has a feisty side to her that is just perfect for Marion Ravenwood.
Jock Lindsey [Height: N/A, Age: 30's]: Jock Lindsey was an American freelance pilot. Lindsey cut his teeth as a stunt pilot performing in Midwest airshows and relocated to Venezuela after a rumored flight-related tragedy. He frequently was hired by Indiana Jones to fly the archaeologist to remote parts of the world. Easygoing and affable, Lindsey notably butted heads with Jones on one subject: his pet snake, Reggie.
Simon Pegg [Height: 5' 10", Age: 44, Notable Works: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Star Trek]: This is a character That I just find perfect for Simon. He would absolutely nail this role down. He's got that charm and that supportive fun to him that makes him perfect for Jock.
Dr. Marcus Brody [Height: 5' 11", Age: 40's]: Doctor Marcus Brody was a British-born archaeologist, historian, and lecturer. As a curator for several prominent museums on the east coast of the United States, he became a frequent patron of Indiana Jones. After his job as curator of the National Museum, he became Dean of Students at Marshall College. He was a good friend to both Indiana Jones and his father, Henry.
David Tennant [Height: 6' 1", Age: 31, Notable Works: Doctor Who, Fright Night, How To Train Your Dragon]: I don't think anyone would ever want to say David is a terrible actor, and that's because he's quite fantastic. I think he enjoys a lot of lighter roles and I think this would be a wonderful and very freeing role for him. It's not as large or as demanding as something like Dr. Who but it's fun, its seeing an old friend every year or so and I think David has the right amount of Charm for the role.
Dr. Henry Jones Sr. [Height: 6' 2", Age: 50's-60's]: Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Senior was a professor of medieval literature, expert on Grail lore, the father of archaeologist Indiana Jones, and the husband of Anna Mary Jones.
Kenneth Branagh [Height: 5' 10", Age: 53, Notable Works {As An Actor}: Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Much Ado About Nothing, Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit]: I simply just can't see anyone else replacing Connery than a fellow Jack Ryan Villain like Kenneth. He's an astounding actor and does such wonderful work. I think he would be absolutely perfect to play Jones Sr. And would be able to play the Scottish Brood of the character as well as channel Connery while giving his own take on the character.
Dr. Abner Ravenwood [Height: N/A, Age: 60's]:Abner Ravenwood was an Egyptologist and archaeologist at the University of Chicago in the 1920s. He was a mentor of Indiana Jones, whom he taught at the university, the father of Marion Ravenwood, and posthumously grandfather to Mutt Williams. Ravenwood's lifelong obsession was to find the Ark of the Covenant.
Jeffrey DeMunn [Height 5' 9", Age: 67, Notable Works: The Walking Dead, The Mist, The Green Mile]: I like Jeffrey, I think he's an awesome and very inspiring actor. He always seems to play such nice guys that you hate to see go and I think this is a role very well in his wheel house. I think he has the right sense to play the character.
Professor Harold Oxly [Height: 5' 9", Age: 40's]: Harold Oxley, often referred to (with affection) as "Ox" or "The Oxman" by friends and family, was a Professor of Archaeology who had studied at the University of Chicago alongside Indiana Jones. He had an obsession with the legendary crystal skulls purportedly hidden worldwide, and his search eventually led to the discovery of a genuine crystal skull, stolen in the sixteenth century from the city of Akator, that possessed sentience and psychic powers.
Cillian Murphy [Height: 5' 9", Age: 38, Notable Works: Inception, Batman Begins, Red Eye]: I know a lot of people kinda expect Oxly to be Older, but in truth, John Hurt isn't that much older than Ford, So i felt it was appropriate to use Cillian as a Young Oxly. I think Cillian has the looks and mannerisms of a young John Hurt and he's always fun to see onscreen. I doubt you could call it a bad move to bring this character in, as played by a great actor like Cillian. He's amazing.
Dean Charles Stanforth [Height: 6' 2", Age: 30's]: Charles Stanforth was the dean of students of Marshall College after Marcus Brody. He was married to Deirdre.
Matt Smith [Height: 5' 11", Age: 31, Notable Works: Doctor Who, Womb, Lost River]: He has a bit of a resemblance to Jim Broadbent, and knowing that this character replaces Marcus Brody as the Dean, I felt it would be a great comedic moment for that character to be played by the man who replaced my Marcus Brody choice in their most famous role. Obviously I would like to see Charles as a teacher and see him working with Indy at the school so that we could learn more of his character. I think it would be pretty fun to jab at their future with this character.
Collin Williams [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Colin Williams was a friend of Indiana Jones, Marion Ravenwood's first husband, and Mutt Williams' stepfather. A pilot in the Royal Air Force, Williams was killed during World War II.
Kit Harington [Height: 5' 7 1/2", Age: 27, Notable Works: Game of Thrones, How To Train Your Dragon 2, Pompeii]: I like Kit. He has a sense of nobility to him that really works onscreen and I think giving him a known character that has never been seen would really be an advantage of his story and freeing Kit as an actor for the role.
Sallah Mohammed Faisel [Height: 6' 1", Age: 40's]: Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir was the "best digger in Egypt" according to his friend Indiana Jones. A dedicated family man, Sallah raised nine children with his wife Fayah. Sallah was a well known figure in Cairo, and had numerous connections, such as Captain Katanga. Sallah was a fan of Gilbert and Sullivan, and possessed a strong baritone.
Naveen Andrews [Height" 5 '9", Age: 45, Notable Works: Lost, Diana, The Brave One]: I'm not sure why, but Naveen was really the only actor I could see in this role. I think he's a fun actor, he has decent Comedy but he also does well in serious work and that overall makes him perfect for Sallah.
Wu Han [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Half Chinese, half Dutch, Wu Han was studying political science when his parents and sister died in an influenza outbreak. Their ashes wound up in the possession of the notorious gangster Lao Che, who used the promise of a proper burial to force Wu Han into servitude.In 1933, Indiana Jones met Wu Han in Shanghai on his way to Mongolia. Upon learning of Wu Han's predicament, Jones stole his family's ashes from Lao Che, thereby securing his friend's freedom. The encounter inspired Wu Han to return to school, this time studying archaeology. Wu Han took up the life of an adventurer, spending half of his time away from Shanghai working for various private patrons and universities throughout the Orient. He also made a number of visits to Russia to recover artifacts hidden by exiled White Russian aristocrats. A gangster's bullet took his life in 1935 at Club Obi-Wan.
Steven Yeun [Height: 5' 9", Age: 30, Notable Works: The Walking Dead, I Origins, My Name Is Jerry]: I felt Like I knew Steven was going to be in this cast somewhere, and when I decided on the angle and felt I could add characters and set a movie before Temple of Doom, Steven was immediately my choice to play this character. I think this would be a good stretch of his dramatic work and a good test of adventure for him. He'd do pretty well in this role.
Kennon Wang/Short Round [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A Chinese pick pocket, who's family died in the Japanese invasion of China. Indiana discovered him trying to pick his pocket and had ever since taken care of the boy.
Jordan Nagai [Height: N/A, Age: 14, Notable Works: UP, Beyond Beyond]: I love Short Round, the character is by far my favorite of the Indiana Jones sidekicks and I wanted to find a good actor to play him. I think Jordan is an exceptional voice actor, he hasn't done anything outside of that though, but I am always testing waters to cast people outside of what they're known for and I think Jordan would have an exceptional amount f fun and energy and play the perfect Short Round.
George McHale [Height: 5' 10", Age: 30's]: A servant of the Queen's army, and later drafted into the British Secret Service, he met Indiana during World War II Missions against the Nazi. They workd well and developed a faithful and everlasting friendship.
Martin Freeman [Height: 5' 6 1/2", Age: 43, Notable Works: Sherlock, The Hobbit {Trilogy}, Hot Fuzz]: I honestly don't think anyone else came to mind for this role. I love Martin as an actor, he's done stellar work across the board and was Phenomenal in Fargo. I think he could definitely take the role and have the spirit of Ray Winstone and be his own character. Martin is certainly to me the right choice for the character.
Renee Belloq [Height: 5' 9", Age: 30's-40's]: Indiana Jones greatest known rival, a ruthless, remorseless archaeologist who uses Indiana as a Pawn in many scenarios.
Christian Bale [Height: 6' 0", Age: 40, Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, American Psycho, American Hustle]: I think that if there is an argument for him to play Belloq it lies simply in how fun and energetic his performances in American Hustle was. It was kinda like an American Belloq in small ways and I think Christian would absolutely play the role perfectly. I think he would bring the perfect energy and the perfect amount of fun into the role without being too corny.
Lao Che [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A ruthless Chinese Gangster, owner of Club Obi-Wan, he has been known to hire Indiana Jones for dirty work or discovery of Chinese artifact.
Ian Anthony Dale [Height: 6' 1", Age: 36, Notable Works: Tekken, Mortal Kombat Legacy, The Hangover]: This is the type of role I believe Ian Anthony has really evolved to. He's a great actor and has some fun in his performances and there's no doubt he would have just as much fun as Lao Che.
Adolf Hitler [Height: 5' 8", Age: 40's-50's]: Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the Nazi Party. He was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and dictator of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945.
Hugo Weaving [Height: 6' 2", Age: 54, Notable Works: The Matrix, V For Vendetta, Captain America: The First Avenger]: I''m not sure what it is, but Hugo is an iconic actor, and Hitler is an Iconic villain role. I think he would do absolutely astonishing as the most evil man in history and fit it well within the Indiana Jones World.
Arnold Ernst Toht [Height: N/A, Age: 30's-40's]: A high ranking SS Officer who was a trusted member of Hitler's elite. He has a disbelief in the supernatural.
Michael Pitt [Height: 5' 11", Age: 33, Notable Works: Hannibal, Boardwalk Empire, I Origins]: There's no secret this guy is gonna be big. He's such a fresh and very well ingrained actor that there's no denying he'd have fun in a role like this. He grew up with Indiana Jones and I think he could really have fun playing a character like Toht.
Ilsa Toht [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Sister of Arnold Toht and a high rnaking Female spy in the Nazi-Controlled Government. Upon learning the death of her Brother, she plans to hunt Indiana Jones down and murder him.
Charlize Theron [Height: 5' 10", Age: 38, Notable Works: A Million Ways To Die in The West, Prometheus, Aeon Flux]: Charlize is a beauty of an actress and She does a lot of roles that are just fun. I respect that I think that is pretty cool to see her have fun with work and I think it would suit her well to play a character like Ilsa, I think she'd have fun, could make it sexy but not gratuitous.
Mathias Blofeld [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: An Austrian Millionarie and Treasure Hunter, who seeks Indiana Jones help in the gain of various Artifacts, only to turn them over to the German Government to use against the Allies
Christoph Waltz [Height: 5' 7", Age: 57, Notable Works: The Green Hornet, Dhango Unchained, Inglourious Basterds]: After seeing the type of Energy Christoph put into The Green Hornet and the fun he had in Django it was an easy call to want him as a big Bond-esq Indiana Jones Villain. He's a smart actor who's backing on a script is a good thing. I think it could be a role he would have a remarkable amount of fun with especially in the Indiana Jones style.
Sebastian Di Oriana [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A Spanish ladies man and famous Archaeologist, much like Indiana. He sees the glory of treasure, and sees no importance for a museum to keep something historical in such a drab place.
Javier Bardem [Height: 5' 11", Age: 45, Notable Works: No Country For Old Men, Skyfall, Biutiful]: Who Doesn't love Javier? He's a remarkable actor with a great sense of fun and adventure. He was spectacular in Skyfall and he would really play a fantastic villain for the Indiana Jones franchise. I think the character I outlined for him would be remarkable for Javier to play.
Makano Sukai [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A Strong willed Japanese Scientist Who believes to have Found the Lost City of Atlantis and plans to use advanced Technology from the Lost city to develop super weapons and make Japan the Dominant Power.
Hiroyuki Sanada [Height: 5' 7", Age: 53, Notable Works: The Last Samurai, The Wolverine, 47 Ronin]: Hiroyuki does a wonderful Job playing Villains and I think he would do pretty well in a movie like Indiana Jones. I think he would do a remarkable job playing a intelligent honor-bound villain instead of a sleezy unlovable villain.
Richard McTiegue [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: An Archaeologist who seeks to find the Dragon's Tomb, the resting place of a mythological Chinese Emperor, who before being laid to rest was covered completely in gold, as well as placed in a gold coffin and is said to be protected by the Dragon {for Fun the Emperor would be hinted at being called the Mandarin}.
Sean Gunn [Height: N/A, Age: 40, Notable Works: Slither, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy]: Sean is a fun actor to watch, He has a sense of crazy to some of his roles and I would like to see that brought to an Archaeologist character. I think he'd be fun and would great with his brother directing him.
Jonathan Westlake [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: A rock star of Archaeologist, that has lost his way. He is an improper brute and a representation of what Indy could become. He ends up lending his services to the Nazi just for the thrill of adventure.
Nathan Fillion [Height: 6' 2", Age: 43, Notable Works: Serenity, Firefly, Castle]: Nathan is awesome and beloved by fans. He has maintained that he wants an Indiana Jones-type of role and I think to play a darker and more sinister Indiana Jones, one who falls more on Belloq's path would do a an amazing job in this role. He'd be a fun addition to the Indiana Jones Franchise.
Ahtuma Teth [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: An Egyptian Business man and closet Sorcerer. He plans to use the Book of Thoth to ask the Gods to eradicate the Nazi and American Presence in his home, allowing him and his resources to take control of Egypt.
Arnold Vosloo [Height: 6' 2", Age: 52, Notable Works: The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra]: Arnold is a pretty kick-@$$ actor. I love his work and the Energy behind it. I think he does wonderful in putting his characters through a real experience to the Audience and it would be awesome to see him as an Indiana Jones Villain.
