Ke Huy Quan would like to reprise his short film role in the INDIANA JONES spin-off series if(typeof ez_ad_units != ‘undefined’){ez_ad_units.push([[728,90],’geektyrant_com-box-3′,’ezslot_5′,112,’0′,’0′])};__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-geektyrant_com-box-3-0’);

A couple of months ago it was reported that Lucasfilm was looking into developing a Indiana Jones series for Disney+. Lucasfilm and Disney have been meeting with the writers and teasing a possible show set in the globe-trotting archaeologist’s world, but no details have been shared about what the show might entail.

Not long after the news broke, I wrote an article about how the only acceptable Indiana Jones spin-off series that doesn’t include Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones should have involved Ke Huy Quan’s Short Round, which was introduced Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. This is something any fan would appreciate!

Now, Quan is saying he’d like to be a part of it! During a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Quan was asked about it and this is what he said:

“First of all, I love the Short Round character, he’s so awesome. He’s funny, he’s brave, he saves Indy’s ass, and if Disney or Lucasfilm ever comes to me, ‘We want to do a Short Round spin-off. ‘, I’m there, man. I love that character so much and I loved that experience so much and it would just be amazing to revisit that character many years later.

That would be amazing! There is so much to explore with this character and it would be damn fun to see him follow in Indy’s footsteps as an archaeologist! If Disney and Lucasfilm don’t take the series in this direction, they’d be stupid.

As for what his character may have been up to in the years since audiences met him, the actor joked, “I have no idea. Your guess is as good as mine, but because he admires Indy so much, I don’t I would be amazed if he ended up being an archaeologist.”

The character was further explored in the 1980s Marvel Comics series, The Further Adventures of Indiana JonesS. In the comic, he accompanied Indiana on an expedition to the Caribbean Sea hoping to find Atlantis, where he ended up rescuing Indiana during a pirate attack. Then he went back to boarding school.

Then in 2008, The Lost Diary of Indiana Jones has been published, and it says that Short Round actually became an archaeologist like his mentor, and even went on a journey to track down the Peacock’s Eye, which was the diamond that Indy lost at the beginning of The temple of evil.

Stay tuned for details on the future of the Indiana Jones franchise. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be released in theaters on June 30.
