Indiana Jones is one of the most important franchises of all time, from the same creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, the saga has known how to maintain its most loyal fans for more than forty years.
A few days after its release in theaters, we are faced with an inevitable farewell to its protagonist, Harrison Ford, since it is well known that this will be his last appearance in the franchise, unless we can see him in the next few years.
But we know that Hollywood does not let its biggest and most successful productions go so easily and that is why the president of Lucasfilm has shared that perhaps Phoebe Wilder Bridge could continue with the franchise after Harrison Ford walks away from this legacy forever.
The character of the British actress and producer, Phoebe Wilder, is named Helena Shaw, who is the goddaughter of Harrison Ford's character, and although we have not yet seen her interpretation, everyone hopes that this female addition will be well received by all fans of this great franchise and that those who have not had the opportunity to approach it do so now.
Although this could be good news for many, for others it is not so good, such as for the director of this installment and the previous ones of Indiana Jones, James Mangold, expressed his opinion regarding this possibility with the Variety platform, but his response was forceful, since he totally refuses to continue after this last installment, for him “it is no longer telling stories, it is large-scale advertising.”
An answer that many should express
What director James Mangold thinks is undoubtedly a respectable and correct opinion, at this time when ideas are running out in Hollywood, the only thing they have given us are things from something that was previously done, sequels, spin offs, live action, adaptations of literary works. Some turn out to be very good but the point is that it is seen that beyond wanting to transmit stories through cinema and make people remember the only thing that this experience is, it is only about making money and having the productions compete in the lists of the most box office.
