Harrison Ford wants to make a fifth 'Indiana Jones' movie.
The 73-year-old actor has played the adventurer in all four films in the franchise and while the most recent, 2008's 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' failed to impress critics, it hasn't put Harrison off taking up the role one more time.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd love to do another Indiana Jones. A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director - what's not to like?"
However, right now Harrison is concentrating on his reprisal of another iconic character, Han Solo in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and Harrison revealed Han hasn't changed much from the original movies.
He explained: "He was always the cynical member of the original characters. There was a callow youth, a beautiful princess, a wise old ¬warrior, and there was a smart-ass. While we were invited to engage on the questions of some pretty arcane mysteries - the Force and the mythology that surrounds it - he was the guy who said, 'What? Huh? Come on.'
"There's not an abandoning of the character. He does not aspire to the position of Obi-'Ben' Kenobi, nor do I aspire to be some New Age Alec Guinness. His development is consistent with the character, and there are emotional elements which have occasioned his growth. There's a lot of the rogue still left in Solo."

Chris Pine felt like he was on a "big roller coaster" when he was shooting 'The Finest Hour.'
The 35-year-old actor - who plays the Boatswains Mate First Class Bernard Webber in the forthcoming movie - thought filming the out-at-sea scenes were really fun to do because he felt like he was on a turbulent funfair ride.
Speaking to Collider.com, he said: "It's like a big roller coaster ride. It is pretty terrifying when you see all that water coming at you, but it is really fun.
"Yeah, it gets more difficult when we're out there and they're pounding us with the elements and the wind and we're in a huge aluminium box basically that just traps the cold weather, the cold air, so it can get difficult."
The movie, which is set for release early next year, follows the rescue mission in 1952 off the Cape Cod coast after two oil tankers were smashed into pieces by the wind and waves.
The crew onboard a motor life boat and surfboat manage to rescue and pull to safety almost all the tankers' crewmen.
He explained: "This is almost like a studio film from the 50s, you know? There's no cursing and people are good and right and love conquers all, it's really very sweet.
"There's a sweet earnestness to this film that people will either engage with or the cynicism of the world will win out, but I hope that people appreciate that."

Sylvester Stallone thinks Ryan Gosling should replace him as Rambo.
The 69-year-old action star has played John Rambo in the five movies in the franchise and thinks Ryan would be the perfect if "odd choice" to step into his shoes.
In an interview posted to his Twitter page, Sylvester said: "For Rambo, who would I pass it on to? Ryan Gosling. Kind of an odd choice though right?"
Meanwhile, Sylvester is currently reprising his most famous role of Rocky Balboa in the new film 'Creed', which sees him training Adonis, the son of his opponent-turned-friend Apollo Creed, for his own championship match.
And Sylvester revealed that the iconic scene where Rocky runs up the 72 stone steps in front of the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the first movie could have been very different.
He said: "I was gonna carry my dog up to show how tough Rocky is. But once I picked up that bull mastiff, who weighed 130lbs, and I got three steps and started to feel my discs compress, I had to say to him I'm sorry I love you but I'll do this one alone."

Gina Rodriguez is in talks to star in 'Annihilation'.
The 'Jane the Virgin' star could be set to join Natalie Portman in the futuristic gothic horror movie which tells the story of a biologist's secret and dangerous expedition, Variety reports.
'Ex Machina's Alex Garland will direct the movie which he also adapted from the first part of novelist Jeff VanderMeer's 'Southern Reach' trilogy.
ComingSoon.net describes the plot of 'Annihilation' as: "Area X: mysterious, remote, and concealed by the government as an environmental disaster zone for more than 30 years. But strange forces are gathering in this pristine wilderness protected by an invisible, deadly border. The secret agency known as the Southern Reach has sent in eleven expeditions to discover the truth about Area X. Now, the twelfth will attempt to succeed where all others have failed... This is the story of that twelfth expedition, narrated by the biologist attached to the mission: a reticent, misanthropic woman who brings her secrets to Area X."
Gina found fame in TV show 'Jane the Virgin' for which she won a Golden Globe award.
She recently landed a part in Mark Wahlberg's 'Deepwater Horizon', based on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which exploded during April 2010 and created the worst oil spill in US history.

Lena Headey is to star in new horror film 'The Woman Of The Woods'.
The 'Game of Thrones' star has teamed up with writer/director Russell Friedenberg for the scary flick in which she will play a woman called Kelsay, who is in the middle of a separation from her husband.
Before the break up for good, the couple and their young daughter go on a camping trip in a remote area of the Pacific Northwest to tell their child they are splitting but while there they disturb an evil supernatural presence in the woods which possesses the youngster.
The official synopsis reads: "Upon their return to Seattle, a police detective investigating a series of missing persons becomes convinced that the daughter is responsible. Kelsey must prove her daughter's innocence, but to do so she must face the terrifying entity and spiral into greater and greater danger."
Speaking about the project, Friedenberg said: "I'm totally amped to bring 'The Woman Of The Woods' to audiences around the world with Myriad Pictures and the incredibly talented Lena Headey. Lena brings an authenticity and emotional power to her work that is uncompromising. And Myriad has a track record of elevated and poignant work that we are proud to be a part of. Full speed ahead!"
Lena - who gave birth to a daughter in July, her second child as she already has son Wylie with ex-husband Peter Loughran - can next be seen in 'Pride & Prejudice & Zombies' with her 'Game Of Thrones' co-star Charles Dance, former 'Doctor Who' actor Matt Smith and his girlfriend, 'Downton Abbey' beauty Lily James.

Sandra Bullock thinks the problem of unequal pay in Hollywood will "take care of itself" once society perceives women as equals to men.
The Oscar-winning actress is the latest star to voice her frustration over gender inequality in the movie business and she thinks the problems with pay and sexism in Tinsel Town are a symptom of sexism in society.
Speaking to Variety, she said: "We're mocked and judged in the media and articles. Really, how men are described in articles versus women, there's a big difference.
"Once we start shifting how we perceive women and stop thinking about them as less than, the pay disparity will take care of itself. There's a much bigger issue at hand. I'm glad Hollywood got caught."
Sandra, 51, can recall an epiphany moment she had on a film set 10 years ago when she realised she had become "fearful" of where her career was heading because she was a woman in her 40s.
She explained: "I found myself yelling and being angry. And I was like, 'What is happening to me?' I was literally fearful. And I realised, it's because I'm female. It dawned on me. At that day and age, at that point in my career, it was the worst experience I ever had."
Despite her current frustrations - which have also been publicly shared by many of her peers such as Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Reese Witherspoon - Sandra is hopeful things will have changed in society by the time her five-year-old son Louis is an adult.
She said: "I want him to think I'm the boss and women are equal, but I can't really support that in the outside world. I hope in my lifetime, for him, everything is a level-playing field. We can hope."

Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson have joined the cast of animated comedy 'Sing'.
The two actresses will voice characters in the new movie from Universal and Illumination Entertainment, joining Matthew McConaughey, Seth MacFarlane, Taron Egerton and Tori Kelly.
Matthew will play a koala, Buster Moon, who decides to stage a singing competition at his struggling theatre.
He explained: "Buster is a salesman and a survivor, eternally optimistic and someone who will do anything to make sure 'the show goes on."
Reese will play a frazzled mother of 25 piglets, who gave up her dreams of singing success when she was younger.
The actress told USA Today: "She rarely has a second to herself, so she finds her moments of freedom intersect with this passion for music. She embodies and embraces that singer in all of us who just belts it out when no one is looking."
Scarlett's punk-rock porcupine will have trouble with her boyfriend when she makes it through to the competition but he doesn't.
She said: "Ash is an artist at heart who discovers her true voice with the support of her friends and fellow artists. In fact, she represents a lot of teenagers going through the same experience of embracing their true selves as they come of age."
The film will feature more than 85 songs and the script has been written by Garth Jennings, who also directs.

Michael B. Jordan worked out "two to three times a day" to star in 'Creed'.
The 28-year-old actor appears alongside Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone in the 'Rocky' spin-off movie, and he's revealed the lengths he went to in order to play a convincing boxer.
Speaking about his physical preparation for the role, Michael - who stars as Adonis Johnson Creed - said: "It differed from week to week, but some days it would be boxing and weight lifting. Some days it would just be boxing and cardio. I worked out two to three times a day.
"I ate five to six times a day, every two and a half hours. I drank about a gallon and a half of water every day. Just doing that consistently for about 10 or 11 months, you see a physical change!"
Despite his tough on-screen persona, Michael also revealed there's a softer side to his real-life personality.
Asked if he's a lover or a fight, he told Us Weekly: "Both! I'm definitely a lover, but I fight when I have to - for something or someone."
Michael also admitted he still enjoys boxing, despite having finished making the movie.
He shared: "It gives me peace of mind sometimes."
