Sorry, Chris Pratt fans (and a special sorry to Nick who prostrates himself in front of a Pratt shrine ever morning), despite all the rumours to the contrary, it appears that your young hero will not be donning Indiana Jones’ iconic fedora and cracking that whip anytime soon. That’s because there will only ever be one Indy: Harrison Ford. At …
