John Krasinski, anyone? The trio set-up has been handled well in past Indy films in addition to the recent Indiana Jones knock-offs, the first two Mummy films. Make him a part of team again, but this time with an established actor who can pass and shoot.


So let's get him some help besides McAdams. His role in Crystal Skull consisted mainly of making tough faces and being an upstart.

LeBeouf's allegedly one of the hottest young stars in Hollywood, with a successful franchise such as Transformers, even though only a few years ago young LeBeouf was a Disney child star.
