MTV: Is a fifth "Indiana Jones" film inevitable?
Ford: "I don't know. If we come up with a good idea..."

MTV: Is the ball in George Lucas' court at this point?
Ford: "It is. That's the process. With some general input, he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin [Ed. note: That's the plot device that propels the story, i.e. the Ark] and then stumbles into a story. And at some point, we have a chance to take a look at it and give some input."

MTV: And he hasn't found the MacGuffin yet?
Ford: "No, we're still in the primary stages."

MTV: The end of the last film leaves your character in a very intriguing position. He has a wife and a kid. Can he still be that man of adventure with those commitments?
Ford: "And he's seen something. Remember those are the only witnesses to what he's seen. That's kind of interesting."

MTV: James Bond is a franchise that's figured out how to ably switch between actors. If, in 50 years, they find another man to play Indiana Jones, would that sit all right with you?
Ford: "The very simple addition of numbers would make it clear that in 50 years I will not give a sh-- at all. I will so not care."

MTV: Well what if you knew today that someone else would wear the hat one day?
Ford: "Fifty years from now, they can do anything they want."
