Is it just me, or does the woman in the thumbnail look like Ayn Rand?

What was happening in the 1960s? The Space Race / Apollo program The Cold War (including the Cuban Missile Crisis, and all sorts of espionage) Most of the population of America was paying more attention to these at the time, as well they should.

Drinker, you inebriated impresario, you need to do a pre-emptive "The Drinker Fixes" for this one! Harrison Ford (78) is not so far from the age (93) of "Old Indiana Jones" in the "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles". If they base whatever character he plays in 5 on a man on a path to be that character, they might be able to pull it off. "Batman: The Animated Series" did a pretty good job of portraying a crusty old Bruce Wayne, too. What I'm saying is, with a different production and story crew -- almost ANY production and story crew other than the one they've got -- they could still make a hit, even with Harrison Ford as old as he is. Such a story would address Ford's age head-on, exploring how you trade youthful strength for hard-bought wisdom. (Like Odin, the man even loses an eye at some point. H*ll, that could give you the supernatural lead-in of the story right there.) There's absolutely something here to work with. Go for it!
