Indy's universe needs to feel bigger, not smaller. He's a globe-trotter and a man of the world, he should hang out with more than the same 3 people over and over again.
Ditto Henry Sr, who was supposed to be estranged from Junior for decades. His adventure in "Last Crusade" alongside his son was supposed to be a special and unique undertaking, let's not ruin that.
Marcus would be okay, as they seem to have a long history together and a whiff of continuity would be nice.
But, really, I'd rather see a whole new gang, as fun and fan-servicey as it might be to revisit a classic character at a younger age.
I agree completely. Marcus could make sense, but I think they ought to have a new love interest and a new sidekick to join Indy on his adventures. I hate when prequels feel the need to have a young version of every single character from the originals. If Indy visits Egypt for any reason in the new film, Sallah would make sense, but otherwise his presence would feel forced. And I for one don't want to see the story of the early Indy/Marion relationship on film. That is best left for conjecture. There are plenty of attractive young female actresses you could cast rather than worrying about who looks like Marion or has the same qualities as her.
