In the years following the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, fans of the titular character didn’t know what the future held for the hero, with Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt recently joking that, had he taken on the character, he would be fearful of Harrison Ford’s ghost. The question was poised by Happy Sad Confused podcast host Joshua Horowitz, asking Pratt if there had ever been talks between him and Steven Spielberg before Indiana Jones 5 moved forward, with the actor avoiding direct confirmation or denial of such talks and instead deflecting with an anecdote about Ford’s own connection to the character.

I’m no body language expert but watch this video and tell me Chris Pratt did not talk to Steven Spielberg about taking over Indiana Jones in some capacity. pic.twitter.com/bqOdebFHla
