With Harrison Ford stepping away from the role after Dial of Destiny, it’s hardly possible to replace the actor. But if the franchise intends to continue its movies, the next Indiana Jones actor is already here. In a new Lucasfilm art, Johnny Depp appeared to have replaced Ford brandishing the iconic fedora.
