Chris Pratt has responded to long-standing rumours he’s set to play Indiana Jones, saying it’ll never happen.Back in 2015, a Deadline report said Pratt was in talks to star in a rebooted version of Indiana Jones after Disney bought the rights to the character.It was later confirmed that the studio would be going ahead with Indiana Jones 5, with Harrison Ford playing the titular archaeologist. Ford went on to say it was “him or me” when it comes to Pratt starring in the film.In a new interview, Pratt has said it’s unlikely he’ll ever take on the role of Indiana Jones.“All I know is I once saw a quote from Harrison Ford and I don’t even know if it was really him, but it was enough to scare me, that was like, ‘When I die, Indiana Jones dies’,” Pratt said in an interview with the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast.“And I’m like, ‘am I gonna get haunted by the ghost of Harrison Ford one day when he dies if I play (Indiana Jones),” continued Pratt.Ford once said “Don’t you get it?

Chris Pratt Says He Never Went To Controversial Church, Reveals Where He Does Worship

“I never went to Hillsong,” Chris Pratt says of the controversial church in a Men’s Health cover story published today. “I’ve never actually been to Hillsong. I don’t know anyone from that church.”
Those are among the Jurassic World: Dominion star’s most definitive comments since he became a sort-of symbol for Christianity in Hollywood.
Pratt traces people associating him with the town’s young evangelical movement to an acceptance speech at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards in which he said, “God is real. God loves you, God wants the best for you. Believe that; I do.”
Perhaps the use of the word “you” and the command “Believe that; I do” were a little too evangelical for some. Pratt admits as much to Men’s Health.
“Maybe it was hubris for me to stand up on the stage and say the things that I said. I’m not sure I touched anybody.”
In 2019, after Pratt went on The Late Show and spoke with Stephen Colbert about his faith, Elliot Page tweeted, “Oh. K. Um. But his church is infamously anti lgbtq so maybe address that too?”
The Umbrella Academy actor then added, “If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people, don’t be surprised if someone simply wonders why it’s not addressed. Being anti LGBTQ is wrong, there aren’t two sides. The damage it causes is severe. Full stop. Sending love to all.”
While it’s unclear if Page was referencing the scandal-plagued Hillsong Church, to which many prominent young Christians in Hollywood once belonged, the Twittersphere certainly took it that way. Hillsong was alleged to practice gay conversion therapy, which attempts to “pray the gay away.” The method “is not based on medical or scientific evidence,” according to the American Medical Association,
