Producer Frank Marshall revealed in a tweet that Indiana Jones 5 has wrapped production. Logan director James Mangold is directing the film, with Harrison Ford returning as the adventurous archaeologist. Ford is joined in the film by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, and Antonio Banderas.
A synopsis for the film has not yet been released, but when talking about the fifth, and possibly the final film to ComicBook, Mangold said:
“Like in all my work, I’m always trying to find an emotional center to operate from. I think the most important thing is, in an age when franchises have become a commodity, that serving the same thing again. At least for me, in the dances I’ve had with any franchises, serving the same thing again, the same way, usually just produces a longing for the first time you ate it. Meaning, it makes an audience wish that they just had the first one over again. So you have to push something to someplace new, while also remembering the core reasons why everyone was gathered. And to use Logan as an example of that, when you’re dealing in a world of a very pressured franchise.”
Mangold signed on to direct the still-untitled fifth Indiana Jones movie after Steven Spielberg, who directed the previous four Indiana Jones movies, dropped out. Spielberg and Indiana Jones co-creator George Lucas are executive producers.
Indiana Jones 5 opens in theaters on June 30, 2023. Are you looking forward to it?
