Karen Allen<\/strong><\/a> is reprising her role as Marian Ravenwood<\/a>, the feisty female lead from Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news was announced at Comic Con<\/a> that she’s back for the forth Indy movie:<\/p>\n

Actress Karen Allen is joining the cast of the upcoming “Indiana Jones” movie, reprising her role as spirited Marion Ravenwood, it was announced today during Comic-Con International in San Diego.<\/p>\n

The new movie is in production under the direction of Steven Spielberg, who is pictured here with Allen during a break in shooting in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

The upcoming “Indiana Jones” adventure is a Lucasfilm Ltd. production and is being distributed by Paramount Pictures.<\/p>\n

Frank Marshall returns as producer, with Kathleen Kennedy joining George Lucas as executive producer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking back on it, Allen’s character in the first Indy movies was one of the best mainstream roles for a woman in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n

Plus, she brought a a zest and presence to film that was missed in The Temple of Doom<\/a> and The Last Crusade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sadly her career didn’t really take off in the way it should have done after Raiders.<\/p>\n

She was good in Starman<\/a> but for most of the 80s and 90s struggled to find major lead roles, which was a shame as her timing and natural charm was a big part of why the first Indy film was such a hit.<\/p>\n

Production continues on Indy 4 and it is still scheduled for a worldwide release on May 22, 2008.<\/p>\n
