No. Only Harrison Ford can ever be Indy.

He drank from the Holy Grail in the third movie, so he should have some sort of longevity from that already. Plus, how would they make a fifth movie if he became young again. You can't have Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford.

Why would you show up in Jones gear? :p

I would. I've been a HUGE Jones fan for years and years. Ever since I was a kid. Indy got me interested in archeology. Then I found out that he was really a looter and not a real archaeologist...:(

He would, but Indy is a classic Ford role...

No, the effects of that one wear off as soon as the exited the cave/temple thing...It helped his dad, but he didn't live forever...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember the two original crusaders that returned from the cave had lived extraordinarily long lives. Why wouldn't that apply to Indy and his father too?

They took the grail past the seal, they weren't supposed to do that.

You have chosen wisely. But the
Grail cannot pass beyond the
Great Seal. That is the boundary
and the price of immortality.
