Indy's Sidekick for 'Indiana Jones 5': Mutt, Henry or Shortround?

Studio bosses are reportedly hoping that Sean Connery will return to the "Indiana Jones" franchise for the next film.

Steven Spielberg said that he has been working with George Lucas on the script and they are looking to bring back Connery for "Indian Jones 5."

I wouldn’t really say that’s too surprising considering Connery has been one of the favorite additions to the Indiana Jones franchise. Second only to Shortround (“No time for love, Dr. Jones!”). They should seriously bring him back as an adult.

Connery reportedly declined the opportunity to reprise his role in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." I’d like to think that his decision not to return in that latest installment changed the script entirely and that Spielberg and Lucas didn’t try to tempt Connery out of retirement with a movie that has a five minute vine-swinging monkey chase with Shia LaBeouf.

This news comes after Harrison Ford recently said that his intentions of doing another Indiana Jones were, “If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.”

In this case, I guess that means the script has to have psychics, aliens and the best insulated refrigerator ever. (Who knew that nuclear blasts could be easily defeated by a fridge? Someone tell Sarah Conner.)
Not only would I look forward to seeing Henry Jones again, but I’ll completely ignore the fact that they pretty much said he was dead in the last film. In fact… let’s just pretend that the whole “Crystal Skull” thing never happened.

How did you feel about "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"? Is anyone up for another "Indiana Jones" film? Would Sean Connery’s return sway you one way or another?

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
