Pattinson to Play Indiana Jones?

Actor Robert Pattinson may end up playing Indiana Jones in the new series of adventure movie.

In the past, Harrison Ford played Indiana Jones.

The 28-year-old actor has topped a shortlist of actors being drawn up by Disney to replace 71-year-old Ford, reports showbizspy.com.

"Disney is looking at its long-term options for the Indiana Jones franchise. They feel that the series has huge potential on many levels, starting with the films leading to other spin-offs like games which can generate more money than movies," said a source.

"Rob is top of the initial list because he has showed his acting stripes away from Twilight. But the competition will be stiff," added the source.
