Marion's Back

Tons of interesting news coming out of San Diego ComicCon. Yesterday during a panel about Indiana Jones IV it was revealed that Karen Allen was returning to reprise the role of Marion Ravenswood she created back in Raiders of the Lost Arc.


This is fantastic news. Marion was the perfect female foil to Indy, and I always felt the other three films suffered a bit because of Karen Allen's absence. It's only fitting that the series would (presumably) wrap up by bringing Marion back into the mix.

Lucasfilm also relaunched the Indiana Jones website to better feed the marketing and fan hype machine leading into the Memorial Day 2008 release of the film.
