Ahead of the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinymany fans wondered how the story would be approached Shia LaBeoufthe character of Mutt, son of Indiana and Marion. The film definitely addresses him and in a way plays a key role in Jones’ story. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, you might want to skip this one!
Mutt ended up killed enlisting in the Army and was killed in action. The decision to kill Mutt wasn’t because of the things he said Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or what he said about Spielberg, but that didn’t help. Director James Mangold I just wanted to take things in a different direction.
In case you don’t remember what LaBeouf said, a couple of years later Crystal Skull came out told the LA Times that the film “dropped the ball” and that “there was a reason it wasn’t universally accepted.” Then in 2016, LaBeouf told Variety, “I don’t like the movies I’ve made with Spielberg,” and added that he found working with the director disappointing, saying, “He’s less a director than a fucking king.” agency.” Harrison Ford called him an idiot for saying those things.
However, speaking of Mutt’s fate in an interview with Variety, Mangold explained:
“It’s separate from all the past political intrigue at the studio about movies I didn’t make. Either you were going to make a movie about them or you’re going to have to find a way not to have [Mutt] around, because he was too significant an actor in the previous film to simply pretend he didn’t exist. I didn’t think the whole thing about him worked so well in the previous film. I went towards something else because that was what was most interesting to me.
I think Mutt could have worked a lot better if the creative team had made better story decisions. Regardless, Mangold wanted to explore what it meant for Indy to look back on a life of regret and loss and find himself ready to disappear into history.
In the film, we learn that Indiana and Marion separated after Mutt’s death, and Indy regrets not trying to stop him from joining the military. There’s an emotional storyline that drives Indy’s motivations.
I like how they handled the whole thing. Let’s be honest, not many Indiana Jones fans wanted to see Mutt again, but he was addressed in a way that made sense for the story.
