    Harrison Ford to Return to Indiana Jones for Fifth and Final Movie

    Harrison Ford will be putting on his fedora and cracking his whip once again as Disney has announced that Ford will be reprising his iconic role in a fifth “Indiana Jones” movie.

    Disney said on Friday that the movie would be produced by its production arm Lucasfilm and released in July 2022, and that “Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to continue his iconic character’s journey.”

    The entertainment giant also confirmed the news in an investor presentation, tweeting the movie was currently in “pre-production,” as you can see below:

    In a 2013 interview, Harrison Ford said it was “perfectly appropriate” for him to return as the adventurer .

    “We’ve seen the character develop and grow over a period of time and it’s perfectly appropriate and OK for him to come back again with a great movie around him,” he said at the time, stressing that Indiana Jones did not have to be so action-orientated.

    Directed by James Mangold, the latest installment, slated for July 2022, will be released on Disney+.

    The long-awaited fifth movie in the Indiana Jones series could be set to begin filming as early as next week, according to Harrison Ford.

    Ford, who would be putting on his famous fedora one last time, confirmed as much while visiting the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland.

    According to Indy himself, the much-anticipated Steven Spielberg film “should be starting to shoot sometime next year”, states a report from Variety.

    “I’m looking forward to it,” he went on. “Things are coming along well.”

    The fifth movie has been in the offing since 2016, following the last instalment, 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

    That movie, which despite luke-warm reviews was the second highest-grossing of the year, was released a full 19 years after the previous film, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

    Delays have pushed the fifth movie back some, and according to Disney it’s now set for release on July 21, 2021.

    Ford, who first played the swash-buckling archeologist in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, will be 77 this year, meaning that he’ll be nearly 80 when the movie hits screens.
