“Indiana Jones 5” will mean a lot of things when it comes out. It is not only the fifth installment of one of the most successful sagas in history, but it could mean the retirement of two true cinema emblems such as Harrison Ford and John Williams. Also, this new sequel comes after the failure to claim the meaning of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, so we all wonder which path it will take. what could be Ford’s latest film as Dr. Jones.
All the misfortunes that occurred on set, such as the death of a worker, Harrison Ford’s injury or the pandemic that wreaked havoc, can only be compared to the hype surrounding this film. And it is no less if we review its cast: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Antonio Banderas, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson and Ford himself. To whet your appetite and generate expectations, Holbrook was praised for the James Mangold-directed film, with whom he previously worked on “Logan”. “I can assure you it will be great. I was able to see half an hour of footage when I went to Los Angeles to visit Jim [Mangold]. He did ’66 Le Mans’ so, you know, he will be fast, impressive and he will have heart. All of his films have that emotional component, but the grand scale of ‘Indiana Jones’ is retained.'”said the actor in conversations with Men’s Health.
Something that could lower the hype is that Steven Spielberg is not behind the cameras this time around, even though he serves as a producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall (who was in charge of confirming the end of filming in February) and Simon Emanuel. The screenplay is entrusted to the director himself, Jez Butterworth (‘Specter’) and John-Henry Butterworth (‘Edge of Tomorrow’). We got the latest news of this highly protected production during the latest Star Wars Celebration, where a first promotional image was released accompanied by a definitive release date: on June 30, 2023.
Little is known about the plot. Some leaked photos indicated this the Nazis would once again be Indy’s greatest enemy, whose leader would be played by Mads Mikkelsen, and that the tape would be set in the 1960s. The roles of the rest of the cast still remain unknown. It was also rumored that the archaeologist would still be married to Marion Ravenwood after their reconciliation in the fourth installment, although it has not yet been confirmed that actress Karen Allen will finally appear.
totally irreplaceable
With his constant jokes about the “Star Wars” saga and its creator, George Lucas, It doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that Harrison Ford is more fond of Indiana Jones than Han Solo. In fact, in the role of the galactic saga he had already been replaced by a younger version: Alden Ehrenreich in ‘Han Solo: A Star Wars Story’. Taron Egerton was even considered. As for the role of Professor Jones, Ford was much more suspicious, and this was corroborated by Chris Pratt’s recent statements regarding the taking of the whip baton. What is clear is that Harrison Ford’s shadow is very long and he is, without a doubt, an irreplaceable actor.
