As Harrison Ford recovers from his injury from shooting "Star Wars: Episode 7," reports about the possible replacement for Indiana Jones 5 cast circulate the internet.
Among the rumored actors who are said to replace veteran actor Harrison Ford - who consistently played the titular role of Indy over three decades - are "Twighlight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson and one of the lead stars of "Guardians of the Galaxy," Bradley Cooper.
Aside from being injured, Harrison Ford is also tied up with his very hectic schedule as he already started filming "Star Wars: Episode 7," allegedly making him unqualified for Disney's requirement to be in a long-term option for the upcoming franchise of "Indiana Jones."
A source from MarketSaw told that the 72-year-old actor has not made a commitment with "Indiana Jones" producers, leading them to open the slot for two more features.
"Regarding Harrison Ford, two more Indiana Jones features are in the negotiation stages as per Ford's contract clause on Star Wars, which is the primary reason he didn't 'publicly' or 'privately' commit, or so I'm told," the insider noted back in February.
An insider also told Showizspy.com that Rob, who played Edward in the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's novel, is first in the list of Disney to play the role of Indiana Jones due to his impeccable acting in the vampire themed movie.
"Rob is top of the initial list because he has showed his acting stripes away from Twilight. But the competition will be stiff," the source said.
However, the English actor vehemently denied his involvement with the new movie franchise of "Indiana Jones."
"I don't know why. Why is that coming out?" Pattinson said during the red carpet premiere of his new film "The Rover". "I honestly don't understand what it's all about. Man, I wish!"
The statement shows that there is still no clarity as to who will eventually replace Harrison Ford. Fans of the original franchise are definitely looking forward that Ford would still be able to play his titular role.
