Why do audiences accept new actors for Batman, Superman and James Bond but not for certain others characters? What is the difference?
While promoting his new film Call of the Wild, Harrison Ford name his all-time favorite movie line. And it's not from Star Wars.
WC: Indiana Jones is one of the most beloved movie franchises of all-time – a tour-de-force of adventure cinema, starring one of the best and most iconic characters ever. Indy has captured the world’s imagination through a series of films built from brilliant set-pieces, mystical artefacts, delicious villains, and beautiful women – not to forget the Nazis.

The breakout star of the original trilogy, Harrison Ford spent the next 20 years portraying some of the most popular characters in modern cinema.'
Because characters like Indiana Jones are different. It's not Indiana Jones if it's not Harrison Ford. Characters like Indiana Jones were played so well and perfectly that you can't just re-cast.
