Harrison Ford says that fans shouldn't read into Shia LaBeouf's character Mutt Williams picking up Indiana Jones' hat at the end of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

The scene, where Williams scoops the hat up off the floor after the wind blows it there from a coat rack, could be construed as a passing of the torch. But in a recent interview with MovieFone.com, Ford said it doesn't work that way.

"There's definitely a distinction between passing the fedora and someone picking it up," Ford said.

Ford, 66, echoed Indy writer-producer George Lucas' words about the idea of Mutt -- revealed as Indy and Marion's (Karen Allen) lovechild in the film -- taking over the franchise.

"No, that's never been (the idea). As George has famously said, we'd have to call it 'Mutt Jones: The Search for Elvis,'" Ford told MovieFone with a laugh. "I think it just doesn't work that way."

The fourth film in the Indy franchise, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," debuted Tuesday on DVD.

In an interview about the DVD release with @ The Movies' Tim Lammers, Allen said that she'd be open to doing another Indy film, but that the decision would ultimately be up to Ford, Lucas and director Stephen Spielberg.

"That, of course, is the iffy proposition since it took them 19 years last time around," Allen said with a laugh. "It will have to be something, at the very least, that Stephen, Harrison and George all love. It's a tough bill to fill."
