Indiana Jones 5 Wraps Production
After enduring a number of setbacks during its pre-production and filming phases, producer Frank Marshall took to Twitter to confirm that production on Lucasfilm’s long-awaited fifth and final installment to the Indiana Jones franchise has finally been completed. Marshall shared the news with a photo of a crew hat bearing the logo, “Indy.”
The untitled Indiana Jones 5 is currently slated to arrive in theaters on June 30, 2023. It will be debuting in the same month as other high-profile projects such as Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which have both completed their principal photography as well.
Indiana Jones 5 will once again be led by Harrison Ford as he reprises one of his most iconic roles as the titular explorer. Joining him as the female lead is Emmy and Golden Globe winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The final installment will also feature the introduction of other franchise newcomers Antonio Banderas, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, and Shaunette Renée Wilson, who have been cast in undisclosed roles.
The long-awaited film is directed by Oscar nominee James Mangold (Logan) from a new screenplay he co-wrote with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth. Mangold took over the director’s chair after Steven Spielberg had exited his directorial duties for the film. Despite his exit, he will still remain part of the film’s production as a producer.
Indiana Jones 5 will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, original franchise director Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, and Simon Emanuel, with John Williams returning to score the film, continuing a musical journey that began 40 years ago with Raiders of the Lost Ark.
