Kathleen Kennedy's Neither Yes Nor No
Yet, Kathleen Kennedy holds the opposite view. In her farewell interview, she confirms that Ford was the driving force behind the fifth film and insists that she doesn't consider the character to be definitively consigned to the museum: "He didn't want Indy's adventure to end with the fourth film. He wanted another chance, and we did it for him. I don't think Indy will ever be finished, but I don't think anyone is interested, at the moment, in exploring it. These are timeless films, and Indy will never be finished."
When asked about the possibility of another feature film, she remains evasive, while reiterating that the decision remains in the hands of the historical circle: "You never know. But we're all still here, Steven, Frank and I, and Harrison and George." So we can say whether there will be more, or not. Where does the Indiana Jones animated series stand? In other words, if a new installment were to be made, it would need the approval of Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Kathleen Kennedy, George Lucas, as well as producer Frank Marshall. At this stage, no concrete project is on the table and no serious rumors are circulating. However, the idea of extending the brand has already been considered in other forms: an Indiana Jones animated series was reportedly developed at one point, under the code name Reggie, before ultimately being abandoned. The project, led by Rodrigo Blass, would have been set between some of the early films. Couldn't we just leave poor Indiana Jones alone once and for all?
