Steven Spielberg says he won’t kill off Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones

June 16, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Back in March it was announced that Harrison Ford is set to dust off the fedora and bullwhip as he reunites with Steven Spielberg for a fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones series, ending speculation that Disney would reboot the franchise with a younger actor.

Given that Ford will be 77 years old by the time Indiana Jones 5 hits cinemas, there’s been some talk as to whether the movie could go down the Star Wars: The Force Awakens route and kill off the beloved character. However, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Spielberg has outright dismissed the idea:

“I think this one is straight down the pike for the fans,” said Spielberg, before stating that while he wouldn’t give away any plot details, “The one thing I will tell you is I’m not killing off Harrison Ford at the end of it.

So… does that mean we’ll be seeing an octogenarian Ford back for Indiana Jones 6 some time in the middle of the next decade?

Indiana Jones 5 is set for release on July 19th 2019, with David Koepp (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) penning the script.
