There´s no way that Ford will star in this alone or even as the main character.
Disney has not bought Indiana Jones for just one more movie. This one will set up an heir, and Chris Pratt is still very much in the running to take over as Indy´s "assistant".
Spielberg know this and will not disclose it until it´s time.

Wonderful news! Crystal Skull was a brilliant movie, & Harrison Ford will only be in his mid-seventies. I'm sure John Williams will be delighted to write the same old music...& dare we hope that they can get Shia LaBeouf back as his son. Happy times ahead 
I hope Shia comes back too, though he probably won't. I, for one, loved the family dynamic in Crystal Skull, especially seeing Junior in the role of his Henry Jones Sr. from The Last Crusade. That was fun. And Shia was fine in the film. Petty fanboys blow everything out of proportion and lack perspective.

Disney is willing to put up the money because they think it will make money, certainly. But as far as Spielberg is concerned, he seems genuinely responsive to fan reactions -- look at his about-face on the E.T. guns/cellphones outcry, for example, or the way he all but disowned TEMPLE OF DOOM -- and was probably disappointed by the thrashing KOTCS took from many die-hard fans. As I've said, I liked the film -- more than LAST CRUSADE in some regards, which I've never loved as much as most people seem to -- and it did good box office. But I'm not surprised if Spielberg and Ford feel like they want another crack at sending the character off in high style.
Agreed! I think this is a chance for Spielberg to redeem himself after KOTCS since it was dismissed by many. He even said himself that he didn’t want to go the aliens route but Lucas forced his hand to go with that story. Indiana Jones doesn’t do X-Files, he goes after religious artifacts and that’s what was missed in Crystal Skull. They need to pass the torch to someone else but it needs to have a proper farewell to Ford’s iconic character. I’m optimistic, but we’ll see…the script has to be good. If for some reason Williams couldn’t score it, then it needs to go Joel McNeely who did excellent work on the Young Indiana Jones scores and who managed to capture Williams style while still incorporating his own ideas. He also needs a big blockbuster. I go back to his scores constantly.

So is Harrison Ford now just re-hashing every role he's famous for, for a quick buck? We've got Star Wars, Indy and Blade Runner coming up... can only be a matter of time before he goes into hiding again in the Amish community.
Nothing wrong with giving the people what they want. These are iconic roles, he's a movie star. And yes, he'll earn more than a few bucks (which I think is why most of us work, isn't it?) but what other than your cynicism makes this a "quick buck"?
Unlike all other roles he has signed on for in recent years, he has not signed on for a script or even a story. He has signed on for a hefty fee and a release date.
And in each case he has previously decried returning to these roles. Now he cant stack 'em up quick enough, and is signing on before anyone agrees there's a shootable script. The only one to have surfaced so far had the entire script thrown out after Ford had signed on. [If I was being uber-cynical, I'd add here that despite the tens of millions he was paid for this in both a fee and a percentage, he is also seeking tens of millions more via a lawsuit]
You might not see a change to Ford's M.O. with regards to what he is choosing, and how careful he is being (or not), especially in comparison to his younger self and contemporary film stars returning to signature roles. But it looks blindingly obvious from here.

I thought Ford looked great in Force Awakens, and seemed fully invested in the role
