Deadline is reports that the 60-year-old actor has been included in the power list of the cast for the forthcoming 5th installment in the Indiana Jones franchise.
Harrison Ford will return as the lead act, while Fleabags’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, and Shaunette Renée Wilson will play other characters in the project.
Complex adds:
Steven Spielberg has chosen to step down as director for the first time in the franchise’s history, but will remain onboard as a producer. James Mangold (Ford v Ferrari, Logan) will take the reins, while also co-writing the script with Jez Butterworth, and John-Henry Butterworth. John Williams will return to handle composer duties.
Details regarding the script are being kept under wraps. Waller-Bridge was spotted on the set this week in Scotland in what can best be described as a ‘60s-inspired outfit. The period of this upcoming film makes sense since the last one, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, took place in 1957. Last month, Disney confirmed that Ford sustained a shoulder injury while rehearsing a fight scene. The production planned on working around the setback by filming scenes without the 79-year-old actor.
The tentatively titled Indiana Jones 5 is scheduled to be released on July 29, 2022 and we can’t wait!
