We already knew that director Steven Spielberg, star Harrison Ford and composer John Williams are all returning for Indiana Jones 5, and now we can add George Lucas to that list too, with Spielberg confirming that his longtime friend will remain involved as an executive producer.
“George is going to be an executive producer on it with me,” said Spielberg during a press interview for his new film The BFG (via Comic Book Resources). “Of course I would never make an Indiana Jones film without George Lucas. That would be insane.”
