McD, we have to agree to disagree on this one.
What seems blindingly obvious to me is that, since "Air Force One" (his last non-franchise blockbuster), he's made sixteen films. A couple were mild successes, two were big hits (yes, "Indy" and "Star Wars"), and the rest were box office disappointments (some of those were bombs). He cannot get a film made anymore just by signing on. If he's going to be the center of a big movie, it's probably going to have to be as Han or Indy or Deckard.
So things change. He's realistic. That doesn't mean he doesn't care. He's doing other movies, too. But these are the big "Harrison Ford" movies that Harrison Ford can keep doing.
(And I'm not sure what lawsuit you're referring to. If it's the one pertaining to his injury on "The Force Awakens," I'm pretty sure that suit was brought by the British Health and Safety Executive, and focuses on violations of their safety rules that allowed the accident to happen. That is, he's not suing, they are. But by the way, that was a very, very serious injury that only by sheer luck wasn't much, much worse. The suit is not exactly frivolous.)
Full Disclosure: I sat next to Harrison Ford for about an hour yesterday. Never discussed Indiana Jones (though I mentioned I'd seen it in the paper). He's a family man, a very decent guy, and if Disney wants him to grab the whip and play Indy again, what exactly is wrong with saying "sure"?

For me, INDY IV is the SPECTRE of Indy films. It needs another conclusion. And Ford still brings it.

If John Williams scores it, then I am in and will wake up every day asking for it.
This. I'm not even bothered about the film, at this point. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's good, and it'd be nice if there were a better swan song for Ford as the character. But all I need to know is that Williams is writing one last Indy score, and I'm IN.

I wonder when he'll also be done with Indy films.
