Karen Allen talks about the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark that she wanted to change

This summer’s blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny it was a really fun final adventure for our favorite archaeologist and professor, Dr. Jones. The movie is over [spoiler alert] with Indy (Harrison Ford) reuniting with the love of his life, Marion Ravenwood, played by Karen Allen. She returns to care for him after he defies death and returns to the future after an epic time travel adventure. This is a throwback from a scene Raiders of the Lost Arkand it seems to be one that Karen Allen took issue with a long time ago.

The actress opened up about the scene in a 2012 interview with Entertainment Weekly (via /Film), where she revealed:

“Well, I remember being very, very disappointed that in the script he fell asleep. I was like, ‘Really?’ [Laughs] “Will he really fall asleep here?” After everything we’ve been through.” And I think I might as well have said, ‘Can we change that?'”

But it was confirmed when he saw the film Raiders of the Lost Ark again before shooting Realm of the Crystal Skull, and was happy to see that Spielberg made sure audiences knew that Indy and Marion had a real reunion. She said:

“[I] realizes Marion wakes up alone in bed [the next morning] and she reaches up and pulls her nightgown off the bed. Which I completely forgot about and thought, “Oh, they’ve probably had their romantic moment.” I remembered it as a moment that didn’t happen, when it didn’t actually happen on screen. But then Steven made sure that, in the very first line, we see me grab my nightgown off the edge of the bed.”

In the final scene of Quadrant of Destiny, we see Indy retrieve his hat from a clothesline next to the bed. This movie was filled with fan service and ended up just as we expected and hoped for Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be available to stream on August 28.
