While Harrison Ford the lead protagonist in the film is nearing 77-years-old, he will indeed reprise the iconic role: “Nobody is going to be Indiana Jones,” the actor said when asked who he would want to his successor for the character. “Don’t you get it? I’m Indiana Jones. When I’m gone, he’s gone. It’s easy.”
In 2016 when the film was first announced, Disney confirmed Ford’s involvement with chairman Alan Horn stating:
“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019. It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”
Other details surrounding the film remain sketchy, however the film is slated to drop from July 2021.
Stay tuned for further developments.
