Iger/Horn, Ford, Spielberg, Lucas, Kennedy then Marshall so he is about 7th in the chain.
Ford is the franchise they need to make 2 movies back to back ending part1 with an incredible cliffhanger then resolve that in part2 & end on a very high note. That alone if handled well is over $1b per movie.
You're way off the mark on this one.
First of all, that list of names...
is that the descending order of power you perceive of the people who would call the shots on MAKING/
PRODUCING an "Indiana Jones" film?
Because in actuality the list would look more like this:
Bob Iger
Alan Horn/
Kathleen Kennedy
Frank Marshall
Harrison Ford (only because he's the character in question)
Steven Spielberg (if he decided to produce)
You reading this, or me (you never know)
...then George Lucas
*notice the spaces between the names getting farther apart towards the bottom of list

Some of you folks still aren't understanding the fact that George is no longer an element in
producing these films. He sold Lucasfilm LTD. And doesn't own the rights to anything anymore.
People need to get the idea of the old "big 3" out of their heads (The Beards and Ford) because the new big 3 (or 4) are the people above in bold.
Those are the main players holding the cards. (and I hesitated to even bold Spielberg's name, cause if he didn't want to do it the company could still move on without him.)

Disney even mentioned when they bought LFL it was for Star Wars IJ was just part of the package of rights they got with it but they still paid Paramount for IJ5 rights...
They also got the rights to "Howard the Duck" "Willow" "Strange Magic" "American Graffiti" "Red Tails" and everything else that Lucasfilm has ever produced in that package deal... what's your point?
Are we gonna see "Even More American Graffiti"?
It was part of the deal, they must have plans for it!

so they are planning at least 1 more with Harrison but hopefully the true fans of IJ will get 2 more movies.
What about the NOT TRUE FANS?
