Yes!
There's no way Marshall would 'announce' it that way if it were. Clickbait.
I have considered your second clause and note the following: the first film had a title - Raiders of the Lost Ark - which did not include "Indiana Jones and the" so, if you want to come full circle, you could come up with a title...but not just his name. I get the idea that his name would be "the other missing portion" but, on balance, I think a title without his name would achieve it better. However, overall, I think it would serve better to have a title in the manner they've used since the first: Indiana Jones and the ...(something)...
And I see this with adaptations of books as well. The sequel to THE HUNGER GAMES being titled THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE rather than the subtitle being the subtitle. It’s like studios don’t trust in audiences to follow sequels with unique names.
The original idea was that they would all be Raiders movies, so the next one would be called Raiders of the Temple of Doom and so on. I guess they felt Indy as a character had caught the imagination enough.
Either you passed comment by leaving out the 4th one - and quite fairly, if so - but your title might otherwise be restated as
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Crystal Kingdom of Doom
Such that this one could be
Indiana Jones and If You Thought We Did the Last One for Lucre Wait Until You See This One !
I used "Lucre" because it's an ancient term, so, you know, all Indiana-ish.
Quite the shame on the 4th one. Cate Blanchett ! She was fabulous ! The anthill...an awful way to go appropriately included in an Indy film ! Unfortunately, the race leading to the anthill displayed one of the faultier aspects of the film - CGI, and poorly done, at that.
That entire chase sequence is the perfect encapsulation of why I loathe the film and tend to avoid it in my series marathons.
There's a woman and a Chinese kid in the second one. And they save a load of Indians.
On second read it was actually The Last Crusade I missed in my faux title. I got the "Kingdom" in there for the fourth one. I actually can't believe I missed my favourite entry in the franchise!
“Indy! Indy! Raped me at fifteen! Raped me at fifteen. Ohhhh, raped me at fifteen!”
