Despite Marshall's statement, I still find it exceedingly hard to believe that Disney wouldn't take the opportunity to introduce a new actor as pre-TOD Indy in flashback scenes in Indy 5.
My firm conviction is that Disney will attempt to go right back to the roots of the series, just like they did so successfully with TFA, so plenty of action scenes and set pieces will be integral.
I don't believe they will choose to make a reflective, more mature movie in which older Indy contemplates his mortality and uses his wits more than his fists, gun and whip to get out of tight spots.
Can Ford really be expected to carry the burden of all action scenes, for the entire duration of the movie?
A sidekick, you say? Well, that didn't turn out so well with Mutt, did it?
And again, even the best scripted sidekick is no substitute for Indy, in a series in which the main character dominates the narrative so completely.
Only by showing a younger Indy in the 1920s and 30s can Disney truly and credibly go back to the roots of the series, while giving Ford the epic, glorious and thoroughly deserved sendoff he has earned.
