It seems the sky’s the limit for Star-Lord. Hot off the massive success of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Chris Pratt is reportedly being eyed to lead Disney’s revival of the Indiana Jones franchise. More on the possible Chris Pratt Indiana Jones casting after the jump.

Deadline cautions that nothing has been finalized. The studio’s plans for Indiana Jones are still in the very early stages. However, they’ve heard that the studio wants to build a new Indiana Jones franchise around Pratt. He’d be playing the same swashbuckling archaeologist character portrayed by Harrison Ford in the original films.

But that’s not to say Disney hasn’t shown interest in bringing back Indy. The studio finally got the distribution rights back from Paramount in 2013. As of last year Disney CEO Bob Iger said he’d “love” to do more Indiana Jones, but that the studio was concentrating on getting its Star Wars franchise up and running first.

Now he’s got offers flying at him left and right. He’s in talks for Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven remake with Denzel Washington, and is attached to lead the Universal comic book adaptation Cowboy Ninja Viking. In addition, he’s set to return for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in 2017. It’s not a stretch to imagine he’ll be back for more Lego Movies and the inevitable Jurassic World sequel, either.

Hollywood should remake every movie ever made. That will by them some time while they search high and low for an original idea.

How the hell did this guy land these gigs all the sudden? Wasn't he barely known for being a WB star?
