‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Will Reveal What Happened to Mutt Williams, Shia LaBeouf’s Character

‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’, the fourth installment in the saga starring cinema’s most iconic archaeologist, was released in 2008, and despite being a huge box office success, with nearly $800 million raised in all the world, it is universally considered the worst installment Created by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

Criticized for many aspects, from the alien plot to the action scenes, What probably won the audience the least was the addition of Mutt Williams, the lost son of Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood.starring then-film hopeful Shia LaBeouf. It was evident that the character was created to take Harrison Ford’s place in the saga, but Indy fans didn’t like the idea at all and rejected the character outright.

Fifteen years later ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’ will arrive, the long-awaited sequel to the franchise, which in turn will mark Ford’s farewell to the role. Since then, LaBeouf’s reputation has plummeted due to constant controversies and arrests, his reputation for being difficult on set, and allegations of sexual assault by his former partner, singer FKA Twigs. It was clear that the ‘Transformers’ actor, who also openly criticized Spielberg and the film after participating in it, would not be returning in this new installment. But that doesn’t mean Mutt Williams will be written out of the saga entirely..

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, ‘Dial of Fate’ director James Mangold (replacing Spielberg, who remains in production), he revealed it “we’ll find out what happened to him” to Mutt, though he doesn’t give details on that, of course. The rebel character, whose real name was Henry Jones III, was picking up his father’s hat at the end of “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” but Indy snatched it from his hands before he could put it on. A prediction of what would happen more than a decade later.

Mangold denies the shooting

‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ won’t have Mutt Williams, but yes Helena, Indy’s goddaughter, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”). There’s a lot of speculation that, this time around, his character will take up the whip from Ford to continue leading the franchise, but Mangold has already assured that that won’t be the case. Similarly, recently it was rumored that ‘El Dial del Destino’ was returning to filming to record a new ending, precisely because, once again, he would not like the idea of ​​passing the baton to another character.

Given the rumors, Mangold wanted to clarify the situation in Chirpingthus denying the filming: “I took a break from trolling for my birthday. But it looks like I’ll have to do it again. We are not recording nor have we recorded any new scenes or alternate endings. Our movie is 99% complete, gets MPAA rating and complete visual effects. Happy holiday!”.
