Indiana Jones 5: Nazis, Space Race, and Harrison Ford’s Last Ride
Hey there, movie buffs and adventure-seekers! It’s time to dust off your fedora and crack your whip because Indiana Jones is back! Yep, you heard me right. After years of waiting, Indiana Jones 5 is on its way, and here’s everything you need to know.
First off, the film will be called Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. So far, it looks like the plot will follow Indy’s latest adventure set in 1969. That’s right; the space race is on, and the US is determined to beat Russia to the moon. But this endeavor comes with some uncomfortable truths for Indy – the moon-landing program was run by a bunch of ex-Nazis. How “ex” they are is the question, and it seems like this fact will get up Indy’s nose. Get ready for some Nazi bashing!
This time around, Indy’s goddaughter, Helena, will join him on his adventures. Phoebe Waller-Bridge will play the role, and director James Mangold describes her as a character with wonderful contradictions – charming and brilliant, but also a lot of trouble. Along with Waller-Bridge, Harrison Ford will reprise his role as Indiana Jones, and several other actors have signed on to join the cast, including Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, and Antonio Banderas.
Now, let’s get to the burning question. Who’s the villain in the film? Mikkelsen will play the role of the villainous Voller, inspired in part by real-life Nazi-turned-NASA-engineer Wernher von Braun. Holbrook plays his lackey, Klaber. Also, John Rhys-Davies’ Sallah, who was last seen in the third film, The Last Crusade, will be making his return.
What’s more, for the first time in franchise history, Steven Spielberg will not be directing the movie. James Mangold will be the one behind the camera this time. But don’t worry; Spielberg remains on the project as a producer, along with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, and Simon Emanuel.
So, there you have it, folks – everything you need to know about Indiana Jones 5 so far. Although there’s not much information about the movie, we are sure that it will be an adventure worth watching. Until then, it’s time to re-watch the previous movies and perfect your fedora and whip skills. Indy’s coming, and we can’t wait to see what new adventures he has in store for us!
