Rumour: Indiana Jones Disney+ TV Series in Development

I wouldn't mind an Indy / Doc Savage crossover comic.

 

What about Indy/The Shadow?

I just want all the pulpy and retro-pulpy charactors to team up

 

I hate crossovers.

 

Wold Newton? We don't serve their kind here!

 

sounds like Indiana Jones is showing up in a cameo in a Rocketeer comic book!

I'd just be happy for some direct to streaming animated adaptations (preferably 2D hand drawn animation) of "Fate of Atlantis", "Infernal Machine", "Staff of Kings", and "The Emperor's Tomb" and the graphic novels "Tomb of the Gods", "Iron Phoenix", and "The Spear of Destiny" to fill in some games between Last Crusade and Crystal Skull.

 

I'd love an animated Indy series set before, between and after the original three movies. As much as I loved Dial (3rd favorite after Crusade and Raiders), Harrison Ford is getting a bit too old to believably carry off the action scenes. That wouldn't be an issue with an animated show.

 

My husband and I were looking through some of his old comics and found Fate of Atlantis. I'd love to see that one as an animated adaptation.

 

Dave Stevens was actually a storyboard artist on Raiders. He did storyboards for the unused Shanghai sequence, as well as some storyboards for the Well of Souls featuring a blonde Marion in a leather jacket with airplane pins, one page of which he later gave to a friend.


Stevens wasn't responsible for the Indy comics, though. Fate of Atlantis was actually an adaptation of a far superior LucasArts game (and so was Iron Phoenix, though that game was cancelled).

Hal Barwood, who designed Fate of Atlantis and Infernal Machine, used to be a filmmaker along with his partner Matthew Robbins. They were the people who made Dragonslayer - and they actually introduced George Lucas to Ralph McQuarrie back in the day.

 

I think this type of series could work. I would love to see a retro styled TV series with a young up and coming actor.

 

I'll happily look forward to any new Indy content and an animated series is an easier way to keep him alive with Harrison Ford visuals. However I still think the character is too good / iconic / important to cinema history for Disney to not resist the temptation of rebooting him on screen at some point.
