Is Harrison Ford Joining Jon Favreau's COWBOYS & ALIENS?

Last night I saw director Jon Favreau tweet the following statement regarding his new film Cowboys & Aliens:

Some very cool Cowboys & Aliens casting news coming soon...

I thought that was cool, and wondered for a moment who it could possibly be, then figured there was no point because there are way too many actors out in Hollywood to even make a good guess. Shortly after that Favreau sent that, our friends at Latino Review sent out a tweet to an article speculating that Harrison Ford could be this cool Cowboys & Aliens casting news.

They got a tip from an inside source telling them only that Ford was about to join a huge comicbook movie. Now there are a lot of comicbook movies being developed in Hollywood right now, so it could be any number of them, but it seems that a movie like Cowboys & Aliens could be a nice fit for Ford. He is also a big enough actor for Favreau to tease us with.

This has not been confirmed, and it's only a rumor at this point, but it would be cool if he was cast in this film. I think it would be cool to see Ford as an old cowboy fighting off aliens. 

What do you think about Ford possibly being this cool casting news?
