Harrison Ford on Killing off Indiana Jones: 'I always want my characters to die'

Rumors of Dr. Jones’ demise in the next Indiana Jones movie have been greatly exaggerated — at this point, it’s not even certain there will be a fifth Indiana Jones movie. But during an interview in Montana for an EW story on this month’s sci-fi western Cowboys and Aliens, Harrison Ford seemed to enjoy the idea of killing off the iconic character.

“I always want my characters to die,” he told EW. “I thought Hans Solo should have died at the end of the last Star Wars movie, just because it seemed right for the character. And I’d be happy to make another Indiana Jones movie — but at this point it’s all just rumors.”
