the reason why it wasnt is here:
https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/907548/Sean-Connery-Indiana-Jones-4-Kingdom-of-the-Crystal-Skull-Harrison-Ford-Steven-Spielberg

he would only have been about 76/77 when filming - younger than Ford will be when he does Indy 5!

It was kind of wrong to kill him off screen anyway when Connery was still alive and kicking.. at least have them thinking he's dead or missing presumed dead then he turns up near the end.. or a fun cameo right at the end with the wedding reminiscent of the last scene of the Costner Robin Hood

Maybe they plan to use him in Indy 5 for a CG deaged flashback scene (as Sean was/is such a big part of the Indy mythos)

i think speilberg had it in his head that the audience would only want to see him if he was in on the adventure again with indy but i would have setlled for him at the wedding, but i would have preferred the wedding scene to be done better.

he could have said something like "junior.." indy turns around looking annoyed, and then he finishes the sentence with
"... mint, before you kiss the bride ?" and holds up a box of junior mints.

I wish they had John Rhys-Davies make an appearance. So weird he's not in the wedding scene.
