There has been a lot of talk about another Indy film in the last couple of years, but both Harrison Ford and Steve Spielberg have been tied up with other film projects.

But Kennedy, who is president of LucasFilm reveals that both actor and director are keen to return to the franchise - it is all about finding the right time to do it.

Speaking to THR, Kennedy said: "We're all trying to figure out when the right time is to step back in. Harrison really wants to do it; Steven really wants to do it. We've kicked around a couple of story ideas, but beyond that, I don't know yet.

"I think there will be one, we'll certainly move forward with Indy. But right now, everybody's just focused on Star Wars."

Indiana Jones return to the big screen for the first time in nearly twenty years back in 2008 with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; which went on to be a huge box office hit.

It was the first time we had seen Ford play Indy since The Last Crusade and he has since admitted that he would like to return to the role.

But Star Wars has been the focus for the actor as he is set to reprise the role of Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens - which finally hits the big screen next week. It is set to be the biggest film of the year and has already taken millions in pre-sale tickets.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull saw Ford reunite with Karen Allen - who reprised the role of Marion Ravenwood - while Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Winstone, and John Hurt were new additions to the cast list.

The movie may not have been a big hit with the critics, but it went on to gross over $786 million at the box office and is the most successful film in the franchise to date. It was also the second-highest grossing movie of 2008, behind The Dark Knight.
