We learn that soon Harrison FordIndiana Jones and Marion have parted ways, but by the end of the film they end up having a wonderful and emotional reunion.

In an interview with Variety, director James Mongold was asked to work with Allen on the film and he said with a big smile on his face:

“She’s so wonderful. She is such a beautiful soul. And I can’t imagine how hard that was for her because she’s walking into a movie that’s been around for a long time. But it was really moving for me.

In The Quadrant of Destinythe roles are reversed, with Indy tenderly apologizing for the heartache he’s caused her, and him kissing the parts of her that she says don’t hurt.

“There was a time when Steven was going to direct the film. I knew – although I never read any of those scripts – that it was developing very much as an ongoing story of Marion and Indy. When Steven decided to step down and James took over and brought in new writers, I knew it was going in a different direction. Not having even known what it was before, it was even more mysterious after they picked it up. So I really didn’t know anything for a long time until they had a script and I have to confess I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t more woven into the story and didn’t have a more continuous trajectory. was very satisfying. I certainly would have been very disappointed if Marion had just vanished into the ether.”
