Empire recently sat down with the Star Wars icon to discuss the upcoming project where he revealed his initial inhibitions about agreeing to reprise his Indiana Jones role, over a decade after the last film. While he said that he was interested in seeing how Indy is after all these years as long as he was presented with a good story, he did admit that doing a fifth film felt unnecessary for him. He explains: “I didn’t feel it was necessary to do another one.“Also Read: Star Wars Icon Harrison Ford Reportedly Retiring After Indiana Jones 5In case you didn’t know, Harrison felt the same way about reprising Han Solo in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
