Disney CEO Confirms 'Indiana Jones' Franchise to Continue Past Fifth Film
The Hollywood Reporter shared an interview it did with Disney CEO Bob Iger. He talked about a lot of different things, but let’s hone in on what Iger had to say about Indiana Jones. The fifth installment of the franchise comes out in 2019, with Harrison Ford returning to the titular role and Steven Spielberg returning to the director’s chair.
The Reporter wanted to know about plans beyond 2019. Iger said, “Well, we’ll bring [Ford] back, then we have to figure out what comes next. That’s what I mean. It’s not really a reboot, it’s a boot — a reboot. I don’t know … I’ve had discussions about what the direction is, [but] I don’t want to get into it.”
The Reporter made sure to confirm that there’s an intent to go beyond the fifth movie. Iger said, “I don’t think it reaches the scale of the universe of Star Wars, but I see making more. It won’t be just a one-off.”
There’s been other Indy news recently. Spielberg told The Hollywood Reporter that Ford won’t be killed off, Han Solo-style. The legendary director also told a group of reporters that George Lucas will be executive producer of the film, saying, “I would never make an Indiana Jones film without George Lucas.”
The plot of the film is still under wraps, and Ford’s supporting cast is still being figured out. We’ll be sure to update you as more information comes out.
