Though it wrapped shooting almost six months ago, curiously little concrete information is known about Indiana Jones 5, though the ever-reliable ViewerAnon stated last year that one of his sources "confirmed" the film will feature a time travel plot.

This was seemingly backed up by leaked set photos, which showed leads Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge facing off against a fleet of Roman soldiers.

While the franchise has never been afraid to indulge in the supernatural, time travel would certainly be the most outlandish narrative leap so far - even more than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's extraterrestrials and nuke-withstanding fridge.

A cynical mind might consider that time travel may serve as a mechanism to leave the door open for a franchise reboot with a new actor playing a younger Indy, though hopefully Kathleen Kennedy's claim that this is indeed the final, final Indiana Jones film will hold firm.
