I read an article in Premiere Movie magazine saying that there were several google nets offering up our beloved Captain as a possible successor to Harrison Ford in the series. Let's see..given Nathan's, um, physical prowess, dark good looks and wise cracking sense of humor I think he'd be perfect. Anyone else agree?.....Also, upon reading this I was blessed with the image of Nathan with slight stubble and a little smudge on his cheek,in a half unbuttoned shirt and that hat, cracking a whip...OMG...*turns ceiling fan on high at the thought* 
"Do you know what your sin is, Mal?" "Aw, hell, I'm a fan of all seven..."

I could definitly see it in my head, but honestly, I wouldn't want to see anyone but Harrison Ford playing Indy.
Just as I wouldn't want to see anyone else play Mal.

He was Han Solo reborn, so why not Indy? I think he'd be perfect!

But several other actors have already played Indy so this isn't without precedent. Whereas... Nathan was asked at S2 who he would have liked to have played Mal instead of himself and he recommend a friend of his who was also up for the part who apparently would have been a great alternative choice... pause... "over my cold dead body."

Also, Nathan expressed a love for the Indiana Jones franchise at the Serenity² con in London. He said that he would love to be a part of the upcoming movie somehow too.

True, but they were playing the character at vastly different ages (child, teen and geezer). But since Nathan is none of these (though Ford's approaching geezer status), I would assume we're talking adult Indy. To me, Ford is just too closely tied to Indy to see someone else in the role. Sometimes re-casting works, but it's often hit or miss. Batman and James Bond seem to be the best examples. Everyone seems to have their favorite, but (with the exception of Connery) for every fan of one given actor in the role, you'll find another who hated them.
The only way I could really go for Nathan as Indy would be if it was a total re-start, ala Batman Begins or Casino Royale. But given Ford is about to put on the fedora for a 5th time (counting the young Indy TV series), I don't see this happening anytime soon.

not as Indy perhaps.. but as his son.. yeah...
Harrison will always be Indiana Jones..
I hope IJ4 does not have some old creaky guy trying to be 30 again...lol...
I think Nathan would have been great for DaVinci code too as that character Langdon was meant to be sort of like an Dr. Jones... oh well.. I like Tom Hanks but he ain't as sexy ans the Langdon character is meant to be in the books...
I would see Nathan in anything... but I shudder to think of Slither.. I hope it doesnt set his career back.. it seems so hokey.. and then white noise two... shudder again.. hope he and his agent know what the heck they are doing.. or that the scripts are better than they sound...
Chindi I love my captain...

I agree with Chindi, he'd be fine as Indy's son. I personally don't think Harrison Ford would allow it, but it'd be nice.
I also think Nathan would have been perfect for The DaVinci Code, but Tom Hanks will have to do. I read the book, and I can't see Tom being sexy (nope, not a bit) but Nathan would have been perfect for the role! When oh when are they ever going to figure out this man's range and ability....sigh....
Just realized I said basically the same thing as Chindi only not as well.... * holds head in hands.... I think I'm tired, lol*
