Chris Pratt: 'Indiana Jones' Report Pegs Star-Lord Actor for Reboot

Disney may be considering Chris Pratt to play the role of Indiana Jones in a revival of the franchise, Deadline reported.

Disney bought the rights to the Indiana Jones franchise from Paramount in 2013 and is looking to the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star to revive it, Deadline said.

Pratt, 35, also has had roles in "Jurassic World" and "Parks and Recreation."

Previous names tied to an "Indiana Jones" reboot were Robert Pattinson and Bradley Cooper.

The rumor sparked a flood of mixed reactions on Twitter.

If Chris Pratt is gonna be the new Indiana Jones I'm totally up for being his Short Round or whatever.

Chris Pratt is good but he doesn’t have the laconic charisma of a Harrison Ford. For a new Indiana Jones you need Jensen Ackles.

I can't think of a more boring choice for Indiana Jones than Chris Pratt. He's not Harrison Ford and never will be.

Was there really any doubt that Chris Pratt would be Indiana Jones?

PLEASE GOD let the rumor about @prattprattpratt being cast as a rebooted Indiana Jones be true.

I really love Chris Pratt, think he's genuinely super but Indiana Jones is just one franchise too far for the guy.

If you’re against Chris Pratt being Indiana Jones, you obviously didn’t see Guardians. And you hate puppies. Leave my bae alone.
