This might reveal my age a bit but I used to follow Indy 4 rumors back in the mid-90s when most of the movie blogs were primitive html sites under domains like angelfire.com and geocities.com. As you can imagine, there were tons of rumors on which direction the movie would go. The most consistent rumors were that Indy would be dealing with aliens on some level and the other rumor was that Indy had a never-before-mentioned brother and that they wanted Kevin Costner or Tom Selleck to play him.
The rumor eventually died out but I always found that idea more intriguing that Indy meeting his long lost son. It's another opportunity to explore his backstory and to see Indy in a buddy/brother adventure with some sibling rivalry and banter similar to what we saw in Last Crusade. It's a far fetched idea since there's never been even a hint in the movies or in the Young Indy series that Indy had any other family except his parents. You could also make the case that Belloq was the brother Indy never had.
The idea of Indiana Jones and family is of course a recurring theme in the franchise. I was just curious to see what everyone's thoughts were on that issue.
