Brandon Sklenar gained a lot of attention for his role as Spencer Dutton in 1923. Known for his impressive acting and natural screen presence, many fans have begun comparing him to Harrison Ford, especially in relation to the Indiana Jones franchise. While it may seem like a bold comparison, his performance and his own personal connection to the legacy of Indiana Jones reveal some strong reasons why he could one day take up the iconic role.

With 1923, it’s clear that Sklenar is carving out his own space in Hollywood, and there’s a growing sense that he could one day take up the mantle of Ford’s Indiana Jones.

Is Brandon Sklenar the future of the Indiana Jones franchise?

Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton in 1923, has caught people’s attention not just for his acting, but also because of his deep love for the Indiana Jones movies. He’s a huge fan of the franchise and has shared how much Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Indiana Jones meant to him as a kid. This confession has made many fans believe that Sklenar could be the perfect person to take over the iconic role in the future.

His admiration for the movie is not just a passing interest; it’s something that has influenced his acting. The actor added in an interview via The Rich Eisen Show that he grew up watching the movies, and they had a big impact on how he approaches his roles. The bravery and intelligence of Indiana Jones, mixed with his vulnerability, inspired Sklenar, especially when it came to playing Spencer Dutton.

Spencer is similar to Indiana Jones in a lot of ways as he faces tough situations, uses his mind and courage to survive, and has a deep emotional side. Like Jones, even Spencer is a strong character who finds himself in dangerous situations and must figure out how to get out of them. Sklenar’s portrayal of Spencer feels very much like a modern version of Indiana Jones, with the same sense of adventure and inner strength.

On the subject of 1923, to make his role even more believable, Sklenar worked hard to prepare for the part. He went to Cowboy Camp to learn how to ride horses for hours each day, showing just how dedicated he is to making his characters feel real. That kind of commitment is something that fans loved about Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones films, and it’s something Sklenar brings to his role as Spencer.
