Harrison Ford didn’t think Indiana Jones 5 should be made  

But it seems he was happy about it in the end

Over the past few days, a lot of information regarding Indiana Jones 5 has come to light, and now, Harrison Ford spoke to Empire about the upcoming film. He said he initially thought a 5th film wasn’t necessary, but ended up being happy with how it turned out.

Ford felt that this franchise had its moment, but the new film’s script changed his thinking and intrigued him with how his character would evolve.

I didn’t feel it was necessary to do another film. I just thought it would be cool to see where Indiana Jones’ journey would continue. If a script naturally came along that I felt would give me a way to expand the character.
The new journey is full of adventure, full of laughter, full of true emotions. And it is complex and insidious. The shooting was difficult, long and painful, but I am very happy with the film we have made.

Regarding Indiana Jones 5:

As for the plot, Indy will face the Nazis again in a post-war period, namely 1969, where the space race is at its zenith.

In addition to the protagonist Harrison Ford, we will also see in the cast Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther ), Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger) and Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro).

It is worth mentioning that it is the first film of the franchise, after an absence of 14 years, since we last saw it in cinemas in 2008 with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Indiana Jones 5 is directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line, Logan), replacing Steven Spielberg who will only serve as producer on the franchise for the first time.

Indiana Jones 5 is scheduled to premiere in June 2023.
