Disney and Lucasfilm’s long-planned Indiana Jones 5 took a major step forward back in February when it was announced that Steven Spielberg would be handing over directing duties to the film to Logan and Ford v Ferrari helmer James Mangold.
However, just when it seemed that Harrison Ford was finally set to don the fedora once again, along comes a global pandemic to scupper the plans and see the project pushed back yet again.
As announced yesterday by Disney, Indiana Jones 5 is one of several movies to be postponed due to the global health crisis, with the sequel now dated for July 29th, 2022 as opposed to July 9th 2021. That’s just a few short weeks after Ford’s 80th birthday.

This is the third time we’ve seen the project pushed back a year, with Disney originally intended to open the film in July 2019.
