Indiana Jones 4 has six possible titles?

At Comic-Con everyone expected to hear loads on Indy 4 but nothing was revealed. But, it has emerged today that LucasFilm has filed six possible titles for the Indiana Jones sequel.

Now, it’s also possible that none of these titles are the real title for the film, but for now Empire has provided suggested plot lines to go with the six titles. They are:

Indiana Jones and the City of Gods: Indy and son head to Rio in search of the perfect bikini for Marion Ravenwood, and find themselves in the middle of a gang war in the city’s biggest slum. Ahem. But seriously, this could carry on the series’ general Judeo-Christian theme. And it is the one that we had been tipped off about a few months back…

Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds: Seems a bit over the top, this title, but it’s worth noting that this piece of Hindu scripture is associated with the first nuclear test on July 6, 1945. That might fit in with the 1950s Cold War setting.

Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth: Indy finds the lost continent of Atlantis, full of lots of little men in diving helmets teaching philosophy.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Well, it could be a reference to that Damien Hirst bit with the diamonds, but there is a modern legend that thirteen crystal skulls exist around the globe, of ancient origin and full of mystical power (power to do what is less clear). Five have apparently been found already, and it’s already been rumoured that they could provide a MacGuffin for the picture. Still, kinda corny title.

Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold: The Central American legend of El Dorado’s always been fertile ground for filmmakers and, amazingly, Indy’s never been near it (unless you count a German Young Indiana Jones novel, which we don’t). Or it could be a quest to find all 39 episodes of the Mysterious Cities of Gold, but perhaps that’s less likely.

Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant: Indy goes in search of…that Renny Harlin film of last year, about teen models with magical powers? Or not. It could of course be the Ark of the Covenant, but he found that once already and it’d be kinda careless if he had to find it again. This could refer to any number of things - “the covenant” is the sort of phrase that crops up in Dan Brown novels to refer to some evil organisation but it doesn’t really mean anything.

These plot outlines are only suggestions, and as I’ve said the titles may or may not be used. The crystal skulls have already been rumoured so it may give credence to that title. It’s definitely given us a little insight to what’s happening in the Indiana Jones HQ but we’re still not actually close to finding more out about the film.
