Michelle Yeoh in Indiana Jones 4?
Could Michelle Yeoh appear in Indiana Jones 4? I remember almost five years ago first hearing the rumour that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were interested in Yeoh for a role in the next Indy film. But at the same time I also heard that Indiana Jones 4 would probably go into production "Late next Year" (that would have meant 3 years ago).
But now a fairly reliable Indiana Jones web source (The Indy Experience) is bringing up those whispers again... and they say it's legit. Here's what they had to say:
Once when producer Steven Spielberg came to the filming set (of Memoirs of a Geisha), he said to Michelle: "Don't forget we are supposed to work together on an Indiana Jones sequel." Michelle answered: "I will be waiting for you!"you can't believe everything you hear... but I think this one is a case of "where there's smoke there's fire". The Yeoh rumours have been the most consistent buzz about a new Indiana Jones film other than Harrison Ford being in it.
If this does indeed turn out to be true (and I quite expect that it will) I think it's a wonderful casting choice. Yeoh has a rare blend of beauty, power and grace with a dose of adventure that few actresses have. No matter what the role, I'm sure she's fit in just perfectly. Your thoughts?

Does this mean that the Communist Chinese will be the villians? Sounds logical since the film is suppose to take place in the late 40's.

I think she'd be a fine addition to the cast! I hope the rumors turn out to be true.

Miracle of all miracles, I guess it's look like Indy 4 is going to happen. But before I break out the champagne bottle, I'm going to wait until it is offically announced.

I would be more than happy to see her in the film.

Excellent choice for what? Everyone's jumping on ye ole bandwagon and no one even knows what she's being rumored cast for.

I agree she would be an excellent choice and sits nicely on the line as being old enough to have any romantic interaction with Ford be believeable.
