In the past, Harrison Ford has played Indiana Jones. The 28-year-old actor has topped a shortlist of actors being drawn up by Disney to replace 71-year-old Ford, reports showbizspy.com. Disney is now looking at long-term options for the Indiana Jones franchise, said a source. “They feel that the series has huge potential on many levels, starting with the films leading to other spin-offs like games which can generate more money than movies,” said a source.
