"[A new Indiana Jones film] will one day be made inside this company," Kennedy confidently declared. "When it will happen, I’m not quite sure. We haven’t started working on a script yet, but we are talking about it."
So what does this mean for the rumors that Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt might take up the mantel of the iconic archeologist-adventurer? Well, unfortunately, not much.

Kennedy didn't elaborate on possible casting choices, but Disney has made it abundantly clear that they need a script -- or at least a story -- before any leading man decisions can be made.
Kennedy has the pedigree to know what to look for in an Indiana Jones script. After all, she worked closely with director Stephen Spielberg on all previous Indiana Jones films. The project could be in just the right hands.
