According to Daily Mail, Kathleen Kennedy, the Hollywood producer behind the franchise, is looking to make changes that include someone else taking up the torch as Indiana Jones. While no official announcement has been given, the news source claims that Kennedy is considering switching the lead character to a woman.
The chosen actress is rumored to be Phoebe Waller-Bridge who is currently set to star as Indiana Jones’s sidekick for the upcoming film. Bridge is best known for creating, writing, and starring in BBC’s TV series, Fleabag.
