In a new interview, Harrison Ford returned to the future of the license of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Will it continue after Indiana Jones 5 and the Dial of Destiny?
As early as June 30, 2023, fans may come to terms with the archaeologist adventurer through Indiana Jones 5. A huge blockbuster from next summer that is very important as it marks the return of Harrison Ford for the last time. . But will the 80-year-old actor really succeed in hanging up and putting his iconic character on the shelf for good? What future for the Disney saga?
End clap after Indiana Jones 5?
In September, Harrison Ford bade farewell, moved, in front of an audience of furious fans who discovered before the plebs the first images ofIndiana Jones 5 and the Dial of Destiny. “The Indiana Jones films are made of mystery and adventure, but also of heart. We have a real human adventure to tell, and it’s a film that will kick your ass. It’s finish. I will never fall for you again” he had declared.
If some actors sometimes return to this type of promise, for Harrison Ford, it is a firm and final decision. During an interview with Total Film, he said again that Indiana Jones 5 will be the last film where we will see worn all the paraphernalia of this sacred character of cinema. But it does not stop there. In his statement, he affirms without detour or any tweezers that the saga will end with this fifth part.
It’s the last film (note: Indiana Jones 5) of the franchise, and it’s also the last time I play the character. I don’t expect to see him in another movie. I had the ambition to make this film for 10 years, and finally, there came a time when we all invested in making it happen. It was a happy moment for me. I think the situation I find myself in is rather rare. I was able to shoot in fantastic films directed by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for 40 years. And my greatest ambition is to finish in style!

And if the goddaughter of Mister Jones were to take over?
A Disney + series that would go by the wayside
In Indiana Jones 5, Harrison Ford will be accompanied by her goddaughter Helena Shaw – actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Dying can wait) – who will both go in search of the Dial of Destiny. An artifact that can “change the course of things”but which is not without consequences for those who hunt him, like the Nazi villain Voller played by Mads Mikkelsen.
We do not know how all this will end and if the final quality will be up to the immense budget of the film, but what is certain is that the firm of Mickey would like to take advantage of its juicy franchise. No official announcement, but according to rumors, a Disney+ series was in discussions. “Was” because, according to more recent rumors, this TV show would be at a standstill and perhaps already canceled internally. The group would have indeed ordered LucasFilm to concentrate its efforts on another flagship license, Star Wars, and nothing else. A milestone that would explain the cancellation of Willow.
The Ravenwood / Indiana Jones series at Lucasfilm is not moving forward. Also, I heard that Disney asked Lucasfilm to focus on Star Wars in the future. Which explains Willow’s cancellation.

While waiting to see if the archaeologist will really be dismissed, Indiana Jones 5 will be released in theaters on June 30, 2023. One of the big summer releases with Barbie and Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan.
