Apparently no traditional mans iconic movie role is safe from the jackasses in Hollywood. New Indiana Jones to be a female

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Surprise casting for next Indiana Jones lead

Phoebe Waller-Bridge may flip the script on Indiana Jones.

Let's get one thing out of the way first. Leading females in movies are awesome when cast properly. From Sigourney Weaver to Katherine Hepburn. He'll Netflix and Prime both have some fantastic spy/assassin type movies on right now with female leads and they are awesome popcorn movies.

But I digress. What is the ******* point of taking all these beloved franchises and flipping the gender roles of the lead? Take this joke of a switch for instance. Had Harrison Fords character had a daughter it might make sense for them to bring her in as the lead but he doesn't. And besides that role already exists in the Laura Croft franchise.

Kathleen Kenedy and those like her can not fail fast enough. Instead of being creative and making new ip's with female leads they are reduced to stealing the roles from men because they lack any sense of creativity and respect for established cannon.

'Indiana Joan' just doesn't have the same ring.

And on topic while I get the disdain for the streaming services I love the fact that they may bankrupt the Hollywood cabal with same day streaming and their own new ip's

Unlike various other reboots, which turned men into women, whites into blacks or Hispanics or Orientals.

No one can reproduce Will Smith.

Great actor/rapper.

On the subject though have you seen that sitcom called Blackish? Can you imagine it being rebooted as Whiteish lol

 

[Harry Dresden]

what just heard is she is playing a new character that will be an indiana jones type of character.....

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what came first, the animated Walt Disney copy of Peter Pan, or the rendition of the film where the role of Peter Pan was played by a woman?

God bless you always!!!

There is Laura Croft franchise. Laura Croft is already a female Indiana Jones. I agree this is stupidity that will flop at the box office.

Box office flop incoming

Conservatives get needlessly upset about the most ridiculous non-issues.

It’s just a movie – see it, don’t see it – no one cares; but it’s not worth whining about.

still here making comments about this non issue......

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

and yet here you are in the same thread.....

Let us guess – this is a variation of the right’s white grievance politics/racist replacement theory; instead of the lie that whites are being ‘replaced’ by Americans of color, the lie now is that white men are being 'replaced' by women.

Again, ridiculous, idiotic, a non-issue.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

just telling you what i heard gramps.....

Harrison Ford Injured himself in a fight scene. That's what prompted this bullshit.
You cast an 82 year old in an action movie and when it goes south you forget cannon....
