New AI art shared on Instagram by @schrodingersfilmclub is imagining potential replacements for Harrison Ford's iconic adventurer in Indiana Jones, including unexpected choices like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves. Take a look at the art below:
Could Harrison Ford Actually Be Replaced As Indiana Jones?
Title: Hilarious AI Art Reimagines Hollywood Stars as Indiana JonesFeaturing a remarkable collection of 10 slides, this AI-generated artwork presents an imaginative twist on the iconic character of Indiana Jones. In this hilarious series, renowned actors such as Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Samuel L. Jackson, Brad Pitt, Chris Farley, Will Smith, Antonio Banderas, Denzel Washington, Nicolas Cage, and Pauly Shore audaciously portray the adventurous archaeologist.
Accompanied by a humorous caption, these captivating images are humorously labeled as "Audition photos from cancelled Indiana Jones reboot (1995)." This tongue-in-cheek nod to a fictional casting process showcases the AI's ability to seamlessly merge the worlds of Hollywood and archaeology, leaving viewers both amused and intrigued.
It has been confirmed that Dial of Destiny marks Ford's final portrayal of Indiana Jones, as stated by Ford himself. Disney initially declared this film as the last in the franchise, but later backtracked on that statement. Meanwhile, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy hinted at the possibility of continuing the franchise without Ford through a television series. However, she made it clear that no one would ever take over the role of Indiana Jones from Ford. Although there is an undisclosed TV show in development for Disney+, it will not revolve around Indiana Jones or Helena Shaw, as revealed by the director of Dial of Destiny, James Mangold.
Other actors have portrayed Indiana Jones in the past, including River Phoenix in the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as well as Sean Patrick Flanery, Corey Carrier, and George Hall in different ages of the character in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Despite this, it is unlikely that any of these actors would be chosen to replace Harrison Ford, as they are intentionally unconventional choices. However, considering Ford's iconic and beloved portrayal, it may be best for him not to be replaced after all.
