Spielberg 'can't wait' to work with Harrison Ford again

Filmmaker Steven Spielberg says he "can't wait to work" with actor Harrison Ford in the upcoming fifth instalment of "Indiana Jones".

During a tribute to the actor at the British Academy Britannia Awards last week, Spielberg said: "I can't wait to work with you again on 'Indiana Jones 5'. This is no announcement, just my fervent hope," reports aceshowbiz.com.

Amidst rumours that Chris Pratt would replace Ford as Indiana Jones, Frank Marshall, who worked with Pratt in "Jurassic World" and produced all four "Indiana Jones" movies, was asked if the actor could take over after Harrison.

"There are a lot of rumours. We haven't even sat down to talk about Indy yet... at some point we'll sit down. But there's a bunch of people who could probably take the baton," he told Total Film magazine.

Marshall, however, said that they would "not (be) doing the Bond thing where we're going to call somebody else Indiana Jones... we have to figure this out."

Earlier this month, Spielberg hinted that he would do the fifth instalment of "Indiana Jones" with Harrison Ford on board to reprise his role.
