Last month, Disney announced that director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford will be reuniting for a fifth instalment in the Indiana Jones franchise, which is being penned by David Koepp and is slated to hit the big screen in 2019.
Details on the project are scarce, but producer Frank Marshall has offered a couple of tidbits during an appearance at CinemaCon. Marshall shrugged off suggestions that Ford is too old to play the character, stating that “he wasn’t too old for Star Wars: The Force Awakens“, as well as revealing that Indiana Jones 5 will be a “continuation” of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull story.
Now, before you choke on your tea, that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be getting a straight-up sequel complete with Mutt Williams and interdimensional beings; Marshall could simply be implying that the new movie will take place after the events of Crystal Skull, which is to be expected really…
What would you like to see from Indiana Jones 5? Are you hoping for a Shia LaBeouf return? Let us know in the comments below…

I think they should leave Indy movies alone now.

I always thought Ford was too old for a fourth one, but he pulled it off, even though the film wasn’t very good. But surely is he too old now.
