Indiana Jones 5 Movie Confirmed

If you listen closely, you can hear no one being surprised.

Whilst on Bloomberg promoting Star Wars: The Force Awakens (not that it needs any help), Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger unleashed the quote-unquote shocking news that a new Indiana Jones movie is definitely happening. He very nonchalantly dropped the bomb; "Indiana Jones as well, by the way, which will be coming." Considering recent news that Steven Spielberg himself said no one but Harrison Ford will be Indy, and that Iger has said a new film is coming, it's not hard to put two and two together and presume there are plans in the works for a new Indiana Jones with Harrison Ford again in the lead. Heroic Hollywood mention the rumours that Shia LaBeouf's character Mutt Williams - Indy's son - from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull could return in the next instalment, albeit played by an older actor, with the usual names being bandied about for the role like Chris Pratt and Bradley Cooper. Anything can happen between now and this mystical planned release of a new Indiana Jones film; negotiations between Ford, Spielberg and Disney could fall through and the whole thing could be rebooted, unless there's some contractual clause buried somewhere in Disney's Lucasfilm sale contract stating that a new Indy film can't be made without ol' Steven's sign-off... Who knows. It's all conjecture at this point. Regardless, bossman Bob Iger wants to make a new Indiana Jones movie, it's on the docket, and he probably will - one way or another.
