kongisking said:I think it would be neat if, for once, the main villain was a really young character, like early 20's or something. That would be a good contrast with the older Indy, and I can see them constantly ribbing each other about their age difference, and the merits of youth versus experience. The villain's demise could be him succumbing to youthful arrogance, thus showing Indy is better PRECISELY because he's older.

Watch and find out!
Darth Vile said:Taking into consideration that the villains of Raiders and TOD (and to a lesser degree TLC) had lesser known actors as the antagonists, I'd lean towards the less well known names.
Dig Site 1138 said:Fair enough, Darth. But who WOULD you suggest?
Darth Vile said:That's the thing really... I'd rather the actors were off my radar... but someone along the lines of (but not)...
Sean Pertwee
Aidan Turner
Dominic West
Kevin McKidd
Benedict Cumberbatch
Rafe Spall
Michael Fassbender etc.
Attila the Professor said:One also supposes that as Paul Freeman, Wolf Kahler, Vic Tablian, Terry Richards, Roshan Seth, and Kevork Malikyan so ably managed to serve as antagonists of Dr. Jones in the trilogy and later filled various roles in the Young Indiana Jones series that a number of the actors employed there might make the migration to the large screen. Rather a lot more time has passed, of course, but there might be a handful who would work, depending on the role.
Another thought is Canadian actor Colm Feore, who has done a lot of relatively high-profile work, including a lot of Shakespeare (he was a superb Cassius opposite Denzel Washington's serviceable Brutus in <I>Julius Caesar</I>), but is relatively unknown in the States. He'd do quite well as the sort of rogue American military man or bureaucrat I've always felt would do well as an antagonist in a latter-day Jones film. (And he can probably do any accents that might be asked of him, too.)
Hmm: a number of us have bandied about the notion of a Hitchcock influence, any of the "wrong man" scenario films in particular. Anyone out there who could be James Mason-esque?
