"A new rumor claims that Indiana Jones 5 test screenings are abysmal and that Disney is in a panic over their poor ratings."

Maybe she doesn't tick off enough boxes and needs to be trans as well?

Makes about as much sense as casting Conan O’Brien as the next black panther.

But it’s fine, I hope Hollywood keeps doing this and keeps losing 100’s of millions because of it.

“Indiana Jones franchise ushers in female lead to replace Harrison Ford”

LOL.

They simply never learn.

They fail, get fired, and another one makes the same mistakes.

When it bombs they will blame racism and misogyny.

I guess there were worse choices.
Maybe not.

Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams, a young, motorcycle-riding greaser and Indiana's sidekick and son.

A timeline in place for years and they want to go with Nurse Ratched?

According to the outlet, “A new rumor claims that Indiana Jones 5 test screenings are abysmal and that Disney is in a panic over their poor ratings.”

From the trailer, it looks boringly predictable. Sometimes you get the whole plot, and possibly the best parts of the movie, in the one-minute trailer. This feels like that.

Oh Hey look, another successful film series that is being taken over by the Wokeratti and which is about to crash and burn forever after the studio wastes a huge amount of money on it.

LOL, I read that as “Maybe she doesn’t kick enough women in their boxes and needs to be trans as well?”

If they put a woman id tha lead I will never watch it. I hope people notice that groupthink has destroyed any original thinking in humans. The young have had the imagination stripped from them.

That is why they make these horrid remakes of successful movies replacing what worked with stupid woke, gender, or race replacements.

I have seen the real ones. The good ones. The originals. I suggest they can this idea of a remake.

So I guess that the plot line for “Indiana Jones and the Nursing Home of Doom” isn’t going over too well.

Hollywood needs to figure out when people have had enough of a particular series or character. I understand trying to maximize revenue from money and effort already put into creating the series or character, but sometimes you just have to let it go. If they actually release this movie, it is going to forever taint the series, and in the long run that will be worse for Disney. I also can’t believe that Harrison Ford would consent to be Indiana Jones at age 80. That doesn’t make much sense to me, and he is almost as much to blame for this debacle as the studio executives, since the movie could not have been made without him.

How many box office bombs does it take until these idiots realize that having a male actor in an iconic role replaced by a female -— DOES NOT WORK! How much money down the drain does it take for that simple fact to sink in?

Why oh why would they even make another one?

Crystal Skull didn’t turn this franchise into ashes bad enough for you? You need to have another one just to piss on the ashes?

This will BOMB... Harrison Ford is 80 years old, he could barely run in “The Force Awakens”... They did their best to make him look like he could still be a possible action character with camera angle tricks and other things, but seriously the guy was 75 years old then and could barely look like he was running.... now they want to sell him at 80 years old as still an action star?

I got nothing against Harrison Ford as an actor, but come on... there was no need for this.. and certainly no one chomping at the bit to gender bend franchise from 30-40 years ago.

I can’t believe anyone honestly thought this was a good idea... clearly someone did... and those people are idiots.

We already had a female character equivalent... that had a few successful movies of her own called Laura Croft. If you want to go woke with this sort of thing, you can desexualize Laura Croft, which I think they already tried in 2018 Tomb Raider.

Stop this nonsense folks...

Just give the series an honorable burial and see if you can find another one to star this female actor.
