Indiana Jones 5: Everything We Know So Far
8. Steven Spielberg Is Back In The Director's Chair
Steven Spielberg has directed every entry in the Indiana Jones series to date, so of course Disney have tapped him for the fifth outing.
Given that the first four movies raked in a whopping $2 billion at the global box office between them, it makes sense for the House of Mouse to keep the old team together.
Senior Spielbergo has already started defending the decision to bring Harrison Ford back to the role he made famous in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, dismissing the obvious age concerns during an interview with Daily News.
“As Harrison matures, so does his character and yet he did so many of his own stunts in The Force Awakens. He keeps himself in such brilliant physical shape that I don’t believe when 2018 comes around, which is when I’m slated to direct the fifth installment coming out in 2019, I think Harrison is going to be able do a lot of what the script is asking him to do.”
Well, you've got one thing right, Steven - Harrison Ford has certainly 'matured' since The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
