After a decade since the last Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, released, it has now been confirmed that Dr. Henry ‘Indiana’ Jones, the famed archaeologist with a penchant for fighting Nazis, will return for his fifth adventure.
According to Walt Disney’s official statement on their company’s website:
Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.
“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,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “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.
That is currently all that has been announced for now. More details to come in due course.
