Role returns


    Ford first played Indy in 1981 and last played him in 2008. That is a full 15 years since the most recent film in the series, and 42 years since his first outing in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ford has form in returning to celebrated characters. One of the great pleasures of watching The Force Awakens back in 2015 was seeing Ford play Han Solo again for the first time in over 30 years.

Undoing time

    • Actors used to just play characters of their own age when reprising earlier roles.

    • Some viewers complain that the whole process is distracting and that the hyper-real visual look of de-aged scenes resembles a video game.
    • Given its reduced cost, speed and reduced human input, AI-driven innovation might have industry-changing ramifications.

    • Harrison Ford remains a bona fide “movie star” in an industry profoundly buffeted by COVID, the rise of streaming platforms, the demise of the monoculture, and the changing nature of who constitutes a star.
    • In the midst of all this industry uncertainty, it seems there is no longer a statute of limitations on actors returning to much-loved characters.
