John-Rhys-Davies has revealed he would love to return as excavator Sallah in Indiana Jones 5.

Speaking to Yahoo Movies at the BAFTA Cymru Awards, Rhys-Davies pondered Sallah’s life beyond The Last Crusade. “I like to think that he would have been somebody like Khaled al-Asaad – that marvelous 80-year-old man who was defending his museum in Palmyra and who hid its major treasures and refused to give them over to ISIS and was beheaded in the town square,” he said.
