In the meantime, one could have justified concerns as to whether the legendary “Indiana Joens” series would really get another sequel. Although corresponding plans were quickly forged after the success of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” in 2008, “Indiana Jones 5” did not really want to get off the ground for a long time. This did not change even after Disney took over the Indy studio Lucasfilm, when concrete and repeatedly postponed start dates were announced.
After a change in the director’s chair in early 2020 – for the first time an Indy adventure was not staged by Steven Spielberg, but by “Logan” maker James Mangold – things finally went ahead. Further postponements were inevitable due to the corona pandemic, Harrison Ford’s shoulder injury and a general appointment carousel at Disney, but after filming was completed in February 2022, the current one is scheduled Theatrical release on June 29, 2023 now really no longer shaken.
After a few set photos, this is also evidenced an image that gives us, for the first time, a small foretaste of an actual scene from the film. The photo was taken as a surprise as part of the currently taking place Star Wars Celebration released, which will continue to be responsible for the Indy films “Star WarsStudio Lucasfilm insisted on teasing Indiana Jones 5 alongside the next projects from the galaxy far, far away.
However, the picture does not provide any new information about the still top secret plot of “Indiana Jones 5”., we only see Indy in his typical outfit in a large cave. Story rumors range from Nazis to space adventures to time travel. We will be smarter at the latest when the first trailer for the sequel will be released at the end of 2022 or early 2023 and then possibly also the official title will be revealed.
What is certain is that Harrison Ford will have an extremely illustrious cast at his side in his fifth Indy appearance – from “Fantastic Beasts 3” villain Mads Mikkelsen and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”) to Boyd Holbrook (” Logan”) and Thomas Kretschmann (“King Kong”) to Toby Jones (“Captain American”) and Antonio Banderas (“Pain and Glory”).
