What’s your opinion on Steven Spielberg saying a female might get the role of Indiana Jones one day? (Page 4)

ADFSDF1996 · 2018-04-04T05:15:54Z

Steven Spielberg is reported to have said that a female may get the role of Indiana Jones in the future. He said it’s only a possibility and it’s not a guarantee that will happen. He also said that he knows that change will upset many fans, which hopefully means it’s unlikely. Harrison Ford is still set to be Indiana Jones one more time in Indiana Jones 5 though. personally I think that change would ruin the franchise and would definitely cause those films to get lower ratings as can be seen with the 2016 ghostbusters. Politicizing iconic franchises is why Hollywood has such a negative reputation.

  bitch yu drunk? Yeah he's an established character, you don't just change somebody's character fundamentally once it's been established. Is peter griffin going to be a griffen in family guy from now on? Is the next uncharted going to feature nathan drake as a woman? How about a female batman, but not batwomen because that already exists, we'll call it 'batmom', it's brilliant! Yeah let's release a school of rock where jack black is actually jaquila black and is a sexy strong independent black woman because female minority's can rock too!
  
  Just make new characters and new stories if you want a female indiana jones make a lara croft WHY NOT JUST USE LARA CROFT FFS

  Cause of you let them do what they want, you end up with live action anime, and extended universes being denied from canon.
  Jk, they can lose money if they want. We've got alternative media sources now. Last time I went to the movies was for dead pool, and zootopia before that.

Tomb raider was interesting. I have no objection for a woman doing Indiana Jones role
It would be interesting.

For sure. Please also make a movie about Queen Victoria - with a man playing the character. Long live equality! :D

Female reboots are all the rage now. I would prefer original stories with female leads. I'm sure that a bunch of writers already have the stories and scripts.

Doesn’t bother me I mean there’s lots of female actors who play lead roles now & a female Doctor Who but I don’t watch that show but I don’t get why so many people were mad about it that’s what I heard

Lara Croft was very popular with guys, so I think a female Indiana Jones might be as well.

  That's because Lara Croft is a female character, always has been.

Please no, unless it's a sort of a "spiritual successor" that's a separate person in-universe. But then it wouldn't be Indy so i guess it negates the whole point lol...

  Someone brought up Indy having a daughter who would continue his legacy. Interesting idea, though he does already have a canon son. But they can recast Shia LeBeouf as a woman for I care XD

I think its dumb not because i dont want female roles. If they want to have a female Indiana Jones then they should write a new role for a woman. They shouldn't be recycled old ideas.

And I think a male should get the role of Lara Croft one day.

Contrarily to Doctor Who being a female, which I think is absolutely fine, for Indiana Jones it's ridiculous

  For Doctor Who, it's no problem tbh since it's been firmly established in the lore itself that time lords can regenerate into a different gender prior to it happening to The Doctor, so it fits well within the universe--doesn't feel like fanfiction or anything.
  
  Doing something like making a completely human character suddenly go from white to black or male to female, however, without any story backing said transition is problematic though, mainly because you're basically creating a completely different reality/universe.

  I agree, Lara Croft should be male if they make that radical change to Indiana Jones.

  I hope she turns out to be as entertaining as the 11th Doctor (Matt).
