Indy 5 had originally received a July 10, 2020 release date and later July 29 of this year, but pandemic delays and Spielberg’s work completing West Side Story sidelined production.

The film’s ensemble cast also includes Antonia Banderas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann and Toby Jones.

Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel are producers.

Through four movies, the Indiana Jones franchise has racked up close to $2 billion worldwide.

The Star Wars Celebration panel today rolled out a combo of Lucasfilm news and fan red meat.
