Frankies say relax about rumors Bradley Cooper will take over Indiana Jones
A couple of days ago, Latino Review dropped a torch into the writhing snake-filled Well of Souls that is the Internet with the report that Disney was considering launching the next phase of the Indiana Jones franchise by bringing in a younger actor—one who may or may not be Bradley Cooper. The prospect of someday extending Indiana Jones beyond the aging Harrison Ford’s enthusiasm for the role makes sense logically—it already yielded Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, for example—and it’s fairly obvious Disney didn’t spend $4 billion on the rights just to stash it inside some nondescript warehouse once Ford was done. But in the meantime (and while Disney still has a tenuous relationship to establish with Ford on Star Wars), both franchise producer Frank Marshall and screenwriter Frank Darabont have stepped forward to squelch that report, before it, say, spreads across social media and everyone freaks out.
