| Phoebe Waller-Bridge may replace Harrison Ford as lead in 'Indiana Jones' |

| [NYPOST] Phoebe Waller-Bridge may flip the script on Indiana Jones. The English actress, 37, could be replacing Harrison Ford as the lead in the fifth installment of the "Indiana Jones" franchise, which is set to hit theaters next summer, according to The Daily Mail. Sources told the outlet that producer Kathleen Kennedy was looking to make "big" changes — which could include replacing the lead character with a woman. "It would be a huge statement, and a great role for Phoebe," one insider told the Mail. It was announced earlier this year that the "Fleabag" star had been cast opposite 79-year-old Ford in the film, the name of which has not yet been revealed. The iconic franchise has starred Ford as the lead since the first film, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," was released in 1981. It’s not clear who Waller-Bridge’s will portray in the upcoming movie, but a source told the Mail, "The gossip on the set is that this character will slot into the leading role." |

| #16 I never finished watching the first Aquaman. How'd it turn out? Spoiler Alert: Aquaman's super-power is that he can talk to fish. Honestly, I've never seen it. I fricken' hate super-hero movies. Super-powers are the lamest writer's crutch since I don't know what. |

| #12 The last one was horribly bad and purged from memory, not going to watch another, anyway. And this sort of thing is why America is starting to ignore hollywood. |

| #8 speaking of Kathleen Kennedy I'm reminded of Indiana Jones saying, "Why must it always be snakes?" |

| #5 this is the broad that voiced the robot that Lando liked banging, right? figures. I think they were setting up Shia LeBeouf to be the next Indy, as his son, in the last 'film' but Shia has the chemistry and acting skills of a wet mop (most of the time; he was passible in Fury, disregarding the horrible southern accent). |

| #4 The English actress, 37, could be replacing Harrison Ford as the lead in the fifth installment of the "Indiana Jones" franchise, which is set to hit theaters next summer, according to The Daily Mail. ....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHANo. If it's hitting theaters next summer, primary photography is done or nearly so. Secondly, I think Disney might have figured out that Ms. Kennedy cost them a billion or so in revenue, not to mention the goodwill of countless fans. Easier (and cheaper) to leave her where she is, but under really close watch. I can see this being Ford's last outing as Indy and someone else stepping in to continue the franchise, but I doubt it's going to be Ms. Waller-Bridge. She's a terrific writer and a very funny actress, but she's not an action heroine. Mike |

| #2 Kathleen Kennedy is the one that wokified and ruined Star Wars, amongst other films. Horrible person. And Flip The Script male to female means failure. Look at the horrible Ghostbusters failure. Get woke go broke. |

| #1 Great - trash another franchise (like Ghostbusters) with insipid broad(s) as lead actresses. Harrison Ford's too old for these lead roles - give it to Ryan Reynolds or someone like that. |
