Producer of "Indiana Jones" Frank Marshall says he can't imagine having any another actor replace Harrison Ford in the titular role.

After being named CinemaCon's producer of the decade, Marshall shared his excitement about the fifth film in the franchise, reported Variety.

Marshall said it's "pretty sweet" to return to the film series that introduced him 35 years ago to director Steven Spielberg and to his future wife, Kathleen Kennedy, now president of "Star Wars" maker Lucasfilm.

"It's all about the story. I think both in the 'Jason Bourne' series and on 'Indiana Jones,' we are not going to do the Bond thing. We think those characters are iconic, and those are the only actors who can play that," he said.
 

Marshall said the next "Jones" installment will not be a prequel but a continuation of the story from where it left off with "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

Disney announced the new film last month, setting its release for July 19, 2019.
