Pedro Pascal Eyes Iconic Role: Fans Dream Up Indiana Jones Reboot!

Disney is reportedly planning a reboot of one of its most beloved film series... and fans want Pedro Pascal to play the lead

INDIANA JONES REBOOT: FANS GO WILD OVER PEDRO PASCAL AS TOP CHOICE FOR NEW FILM

The rumor mill is churning out some serious excitement, folks! Disney is reportedly planning a reboot of one of its most beloved film series - the iconic Indiana Jones franchise. And, we've got a scoop that's going to make your jaw drop: fans are absolutely obsessed with Pedro Pascal as their top pick to play the lead role!

But before we dive into why Pedro would be perfect for the part, let's take a trip down memory lane. The first Indiana Jones film, released in 1981, was a game-changer. Who can forget Harrison Ford's dashing performance as the rugged archaeology professor who embarks on a perilous quest to find a hidden relic before the Nazis get their hands on it? The action-packed movie was a massive success, and over the next four decades, the franchise churned out four more films and even a prequel TV series.

Rumors erupted this week that the company is going to remake the popular Indiana Jones movies

Now, it's been whispered that Disney (which acquired LucasFilm in 2012) wants to do a full reboot. According to DisInsider, "Lucasfilm is letting the franchise rest for a bit before they do a full reboot of the franchise." And it looks like they're planning to announce something big next year at the D23 Expo.

WHO SHOULD PLAY INDIANA JONES?

Amidst all the excitement and speculation, fans have been buzzing about who should take on the iconic role. Some suggested Chris Pratt, Glen Powell, Ryan Gosling, or Bradley Cooper - but one name keeps popping up as the top contender: Pedro Pascal!

The first Indiana Jones film came out in 1981 and starred Harrison Ford as an archaeology professor named Indiana Jones who was asked by the US government to find a hidden relic

A fan shared a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) featuring an edited image of Harrison Ford from the original film with Pedro's face superimposed over it. The caption read, "We all know what's coming." And boy, do we ever! The post racked up over 10 million views and countless replies from fans who are completely on board with the idea.

"It would be a fantastic choice for the Indiana Jones reboot," one fan gushed. Another agreed, saying, "This actually works amazingly well!" While some fans were skeptical, many more were enthusiastic about the prospect of seeing Pedro don the fedora.

PEDRO PASCAL'S DISNEY CONNECTION

And it looks like his relationship with the House of Mouse might just be paying off! He's currently gearing up for a new Marvel flick, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which premieres later this month.
