Some said it would never happen but look at us now. That's right, folks, production for Indiana Jones 5 is set to begin in the UK next week. Can you feel that? It's almost as if the weight of the pandemic is slowly and steadily starting to lift. Soak it in, and prepare yourselves for Indy's next and final adventure.
Word has it that cameras are ready to roll at Pinewood and other locations in the UK. Set to star in the highly anticipated sequel are Harrison Ford (Blade Runner, The Fugitive), Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Another Round), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Shaunette Renée Wilson (The Resident), and Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron).
While Spielberg is sitting this one out as the film's director, fans can rest easy knowing it's in the hands of Logan director James Mangold. Spielberg will serve as a producer and will be involved in several elements of the new film. Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, and Simon Emanuel are also producing. Also returning is composer John Williams, who has arranged every score for the Indiana Jones franchise thus far.
Plot details are being kept under Indy's iconic fedora for the moment, though rumors suggest that the film could explore a 1960s space race theme. We'll be sure to update you as soon as we know more. Until then, try not to explode with anticipation.
