James Bond vs Indiana Jones!
I’ll admit that was the very first thing that went via my head after I noticed the complete trailer for 1923, Paramount Plus’ long-awaited Yellowstone prequel restricted sequence. Whereas we beforehand obtained a teaser introducing us to the present’s idea, this new, prolonged trailer, which dropped throughout tonight’s episode of Yellowstone on the Paramount Community, provides a full have a look at what needs to be some of the talked-about reveals of the winter. It additionally unveils one of many present’s major villains, Donald Whitfield, performed by none aside from former 007 Timothy Dalton, who appears to be a land baron at odds with the Dutton clan. Given how issues typically end up for adversaries of the Duttons, I’d say Dalton’s character is all however certain to satisfy a grisly finish.
As beforehand revealed, Harrison Ford performs Jacob Dutton, who, alongside together with his beloved spouse Cora (his Mosquito Coast co-star Helen Mirren), run the Yellowstone ranch. Jacob is the brother of James Dutton (performed by Tim McGraw in 1883), who followers of Yellowstone lore will notice, died defending his household someday within the Nineties. Jacob watches over James’ son, John Dutton Sr (James Badge Dale), the grandfather of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III on the flagship Yellowstone present.

It must be famous that the Yellowstone mythology grows extra intricate with every new present, however to date, Taylor Sheridan’s universe has confirmed to be extraordinarily constant. 1883 was a terrific restricted sequence, and 1923, set for a two-season run, appears simply pretty much as good. In it, Ford’s Jacob appears to be in a variety battle with Timothy Dalton’s huge wig and his employed weapons, led by Recreation of Thrones‘ Jerome Flynn. The trailer appears action-packed, with the pistol-wielding Ford nonetheless slicing a basic cowboy determine at eighty. Dalton appears like he’s having a blast chewing the surroundings, however I’ve one concern primarily based on the trailer, which I’ll reveal after the break…
OK, nonetheless right here? My principle is that Harrison Ford’s Jacob goes to die very early within the present – probably even within the first episode. Sheridan’s performed this earlier than, with Kyle Chandler’s character on Mayor of Kingstown. It appears like Ford would by no means really decide to a whole two-season run, given how busy he’ll be selling Indiana Jones 5 this spring/summer season. Plus, he might be becoming a member of the MCU as Thunderbolt Ross. I imagine he’ll die, and Mirren’s Cora would be the present’s heart.
Do any of you agree with my principle? Hold forth within the feedback beneath!
