Frequent visitors to the Indiana Jones 4 page at 'The
Internet Movie Database' will certainly have noticed that there
is a character name attached to John Hurt in the film's cast list.
The name [ of the assumed dead Abner Ravenwood
(Marion's father from Raiders) ] has been linked
to John Hurt for over a week now at IMDb.com
and if true; it can count as a BIG SPOILER! Therefore the name is
hidden on this page and can only be read when highlighted.
While you should never take IMDb.com’s info too seriously,
as they frequently have incorrect listings for upcoming movies,
Devin Faraci from 'CHUD.com' is certain that John Hurt will indeed
play [ Abner Ravenwood ]. He even calls
it "official".
And while Devin advises everybody not to reveal facts about Indy
4 - "to keep the movie from getting ruined" - he
himself continues by hinting on more Indy 4 character details.
So you better not pay a visit to CHUD.com
if you want to stay SPOILER clean!
Especially as some of Devin's previous rumors/spoilers now appear
to be quite true.

Thanks to Brett Hopkins, Sven Spriz and Rogelio Diaz for the heads
up.
