It'd have to be a VERY different Indy film, in my opinion. Far more character driven and less about the action because, sorry, a geriatric guy leaping from one moving vehicle to another, whip-swinging across chasms, punching ersatz-nazis, etc. is just not gonna be believable no matter how close the stuntman's resemblance is or how much CGI they use. It just won't.
That's not to say you couldn't do a good movie starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, but would it really be "an Indiana Jones movie" along the lines of the first three? Not if they go for anything remotely believable. That, by the way, isn't necessarily a bad thing. Personally I think it'd be way worse to have Indy doing all that stuff as a septuagenarian. I'd rather he be talkier, use his head more, outwit the badguys, etc. Kind of like the Second or Third Doctors in Doctor Who -- an older gentleman who is underestimated by his opponents, but who beats them on brains rather than brawn. I wouldn't mind if he had a younger character with him to do the punching, but they'd have to make Indy himself equally formidable, even if that doesn't come from his physical prowess. And none of that is to say he can't do ANY action stuff, just that he won't be believable doing the kind of stunt-heavy work from the first 3 films.
