Disney already has the Jock Lindsey Hanger Bar Restaurant, so they could easily build off that popularity, with a new line of movies.

Find a new unknown to play this character, and set it early in the IJ timeline. They could even bring in a young Indy at times, played by a new younger actor, and if that goes well, it may even jumpstart a new line of younger Indy films.
But every-time an idea like this is brought up on the RPF, people here shoot it down as they do not like the idea of expanding the IJ world. It’s either all Indy or nothing in their eyes.
Imagine if that mode of thinking applied to Star Wars… we wouldn’t have all those spin-offs.
