Steven Spielberg says he will consider introducing a female version of Indiana Jones once the upcoming fifth film is complete.

The director, 71, opened up about expanding the adventures of the iconic character once Harrison Ford hangs up his fedora and whip and that perhaps it was time for the character to take “a different form.”

“I have been very lucky to be influenced by women, several of whom I have just loved madly — my mom and my wife,” Spielberg told The Sun in an interview.

As for continuing the longlasting franchise, he said the fifth film “will be Harrison Ford’s last Indiana Jones movie, I am pretty sure, but it will certainly continue after that.”

“We’d have to change the name from Jones to Joan. And there would be nothing wrong with that,” he added.

Spielberg and Ford will be hard at work on the next Indiana Jones film, which is scheduled for release in 2020.

His decision to consider a female Indiana Jones comes despite the director previously saying in 2015, he could only think of one actor who could play the archaeologist.

“I don’t think anyone could replace Harrison as Indy, I don’t think that’s ever going to happen,” he said in an interview with Screen International posted on Screen Daily.

Rumors had been swirling that with Ford entering his mid-70s, the whip-toting archaeologist might be played by a new actor. But Spielberg made it clear no one – not even the highly suggested Chris Pratt – is in consideration.

“It’s certainly not my intention to ever have another actor step into his shoes in the way there have been many actors that have played Spider-Man or Batman,” the directed said definitively. “There is only going to be one actor playing Indiana Jones and that’s Harrison Ford.”

Why does there need to be another one? If he wants to make an adventure/action film with a female lead thats fine, but why the need to use the Indiana name? :shrug:

The surprise ending will be that the whole plot was around an ancient civilization of Abominable Snowmen.

I was talking a Jewish fellow not that long ago and he told me that he does not consider his race white.. He considers himself 'Jewish'. The reason I bring this up is maybe this guy is jumping on the minority express here and doing his part to now combat 'White Supremacy'. Even though he's a fuckin' stupid cracker like the rest of us..

Yeah, Jewish isn't a race :lol:

Im curious Dees take cause this fella damn sure thought it was..

Race or Religion?

I will be giving a speech on the topic of "Jews: Race or Religion?" My mother always taught me that it is a race. I want to get expert advice, so would you consider Judaism as a race or a religion? And what precisely is the basis of Jewish belief and nationhood?

The Aish Rabbi Replies:

To categorize Judaism "only" as a religion is a misunderstanding. The Jewish people are a nation, who share a common land (Israel), a common religion (Judaism) and a common history (dating back to Abraham).

What is amazing is how the Jews have maintained their distinct national identity having been scattered to the four corners of the globe. This achievement was possible only because of our adherence to the Torah, the "constitution" of the Jewish people. The Torah lays out the scope of personal rights and obligations, as well as laws covering lifecycle, business practice, medical ethics, parenting, married life, etc. Observance of the Torah was thus the thread which kept the Jewish people alive, and thriving, in every place and time.

Judaism cannot be classified as a race, because anyone can become a Jew by converting. The convert is considered a Jew in every regard, and his relationship with God is the same level as that of every other Jew. Come to Israel and you will find black Jews, oriental Jews, Indian Jews, etc.

Got it.. But you see my point.. Whether or not it is correct, that is how some see themselves.. ^^

Why Indiana Joan? Jones was a last name. Henry Jones Jr. is the character's full name, with Indiana being a nickname, originally his childhood dog's name that he kept for himself. Despite the idiocy of continuing the story with a female (if you wanted to do that, Steve, then maybe you should have made Indiana and Marion's offspring a daughter instead of a stupid Shia Labeouf), wouldn't it still be Indiana Jones, but with a female first name?
