A recent online story had claimed that Ford, producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg were considering killing the archaeologist to allow Shia LaBeouf to take over the franchise.
"Harrison thinks it would be good for Indy to die and pass on his hat to his son in the next one," and insider is alleged to have said.

"George especially is resisting the notion but Steven is considering it. Funnily enough Harrison wanted the same for Han Solo in the final Star Wars but George put an end to it. This time he doesn't have all the say though."
However, reps for Ford have denied the claims, telling The Huffington Post that they are "false".
Indiana Jones debuted in 1981's Raiders Of The Lost Ark and has appeared in three more movies. The last, 2008's Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, introduced LaBeouf as the character's son Mutt Williams.
