Sounds like they have no idea what to do with the Indiana Jones
franchise ... no real surprise there then.

Hint to Disney: We do NOT want an idiotic, lazy-ass, talentless "reboot"!!!

Shia LaBeouf's Mutt Williams is Not in Indiana Jones 5
------------------------------------------------------
It will still be a while before we see Indiana Jones back on
the big screen (Indiana Jones 5 is currently scheduled for a
July 10, 2020 release), but screenwriter David Koepp has
revealed to EW that Shia LaBeouf's character Mutt Williams 
will not be returning.

"Harrison plays Indiana Jones, that I can certainly say...
and the Shia LaBeouf character is not in the film," Koepp
said. But what's the status of the film? "We're plugging
away at it. In terms of when we would start, I think that's
up to Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Ford... I know we've got a script
we're mostly happy with. Work will be endless, of course,
and ongoing, and Steven just finished shooting The Post... If
the stars align, hopefully it'll be his next film."

And what is the MacGuffin this time around? "Some precious
artifact that they're all looking for," Koepp added.

Spoiler alert for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull if you haven't seen the film, but Mutt Williams was
revealed to be Jones and Marion Ravenwood's son. At the end of
the film, after Indy and Marion are married, a gust of wind
also blows Indy's fedora off a coat rack and it lands at
Mutt's feet. He picks it up and is about to put it on before
Jones takes it from him and puts it on his own head instead.

While Mutt will not be in the next film, Disney does plan on
continuing the franchise beyond the fifth installment. "The
one thing I will tell you is I'm not killing off Harrison
[Ford] at the end of it," director Steven Spielberg said
previously, while Disney's Bob Iger cryptically stated: "Right
now, we're focused on a reboot, or a continuum and then a
reboot of some sort. Well, we'll bring him back, then we have
to figure out what comes next. That's what I mean. It's not
really a reboot, it's a boot - a reboot. I don't know. We [got]
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the film. But then what's the
direction? I've had discussions about what the direction is,
[but] I don't want to get into it. I don't think it reaches the
scale of the universe of Star Wars, but I see making more. It
won't be just a one-off."

Spielberg directed all four previous films. Franchise veterans
Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce the fifth film
as well.

Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced
in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark - one of AFI's 100 Greatest
American Films of All Time - and later thrilled audiences in
1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989's Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008's Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The four films have brought in
early $2 billion at the global box office.
