At most, I could see them using a younger actor to set up the storyline in the opening sequence...I've heard Marion is back for Indy IV so maybe the opening could be a flashback to him meeting her and Abner, I don't know.

Lucas, Spielberg and Ford are all on the record that the film won't overtly deal with an aging adventurer, but it will figure in, in some minor capacity.

Besides, I fail to see what the big deal is with people's obsession with aging movie stars. John Wayne was 60 when he made True Grit. Lee Marvin was 62 in Delta Force. Harrison Ford was 40 in Raiders. What's the big deal?


I have no issue whatsoever with aging movie stars. As a matter of fact, I think older actors are much better than they were in their younger years. I think what most people are afraid of, myself included, is what direction they will take the movie since Harrison Ford is much older than he was when he first put on the hat and held the whip. We are all just scared they will destroy the enjoyment of the first three with the introduction of this one. Much like the PT did to the OOT.
