    Very annoyed that with his resurgence, we didn’t get the return of short round. He should have popped up in the new movie, as an adult explorer following in Indy’s footsteps

      Short Round instead of Waller-Bridges’ role world have made the movie a lot more organic than “daughter of the best friend Indy has never mentioned”.

        They could have done the equivalent the “last crusade”, but instead of Sean Connery, its Harrison Ford .

        Speaking of Waller-Bridge:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebe_Waller-Bridge

        Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge was born in Hammersmith, London, on 14 July 1985, the daughter of Michael Cyprian Waller-Bridge, founder of the electronic trading platform Tradepoint, and Theresa Mary, daughter of Sir John Edward Longueville Clerke, 12th Baronet, employed by the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers. The Bridge, later Waller-Bridge, family were soldiers and clergymen, who came to rank among the landed gentry of Cuckfield in Sussex. Her grandfather, Cyprian Waller-Bridge (1918-1960), “a Wodehousian sort of character… ‘the eccentric son of an eccentric vicar’”, was an actor and BBC announcer. On her father’s side, she is a descendant of the Revd Sir Egerton Leigh, 2nd Baronet, and a distant relative of politician and author Egerton Leigh, Conservative MP for Mid Cheshire from 1873 to his death in 1876

        Baronet? Worshipful company of ironmongers? Cuckfield? British as fuck.

          And more writing talent in her left nipple than the entire panel of writers that churned out that god-awful Indiana Jones tripe

            I had the distinct impression she rewrote her own dialogue at least.

      What an amazing spin-off that would be. 10/10 would watch.

      It would have been nice, but part of the reason he left was the frustration with type casting. So it would have been cool but I’m more happy he’s had a pretty solid stream of totally unrelated roles rather than dusting off the old hits.

      That being said, you know who his entertainment lawyer is? Jeff Cohen, aka: Chunk from The Goonies

      Why not now? It’s not too late. Now’s the perfect time for him to take over! Let’s do it!
