Fan Casting Marcus Brody in Indiana Jones and the Monkey King

The warm, witty, slightly eccentric museum curator and Indy's most trusted confidant, Marcus Brody convinces Indy to join Clare's expedition. He shows Indy the painting of Sun Wu Kung, screens the film of Tyki, and delivers the emotional speech that reignites Indy's passion: "Can you afford to pass up the single most important adventure of your life?" He remains in the United States, providing the home-base anchor for Indy's world-spanning exploits.
