It just so happens that this is one of the few times the world can reach a consensus on this casting rumor.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Pratt has become the action movie golden boy, with his Parks and Rec days behind him. Harrison Ford was not so different when he hit his peak, and hearing this news was almost entirely predictable, especially after seeing Pratt suited up in his duds for his role in\u00a0<em>Jurassic World.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Can Pratt\u00a0replace Harrison Ford? Unlikely, as Ford will forever remain an iconic figure. But\u00a0can he continue this\u00a0modern embodiment of the puckish rogue we&#8217;ve all been waiting for? Undoubtedly. He came through for us as Star-Lord and it can be assumed he will again as the main protagonist for\u00a0<em>Jurassic World<\/em>. I would put my money on him being a damned incredible Indiana Jones as well.<\/p>\n<p>I have much more faith in Pratt undertaking the role than I ever did at the suggestion of Shia LaBeouf being given the chance at it. After Pratt&#8217;s amazing performance in\u00a0<em>Guardians<\/em>, he has my full vote to accept this role. And for my sake, the sake of the <i>Indiana Jones\u00a0<\/i>franchise, and the sake of its\u00a0fans everywhere, I truly hope he does.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Chris-Pratt-as-the-new-Indiana-Jones.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14970\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Chris-Pratt-as-the-new-Indiana-Jones.jpg\" alt=\"Chris-Pratt-as-the-new-Indiana-Jones\" width=\"530\" height=\"862\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nIt was only a matter of time.
