Spielberg Comments on Indiana Jones 5
Indiana Jones 5 is one of the biggest question marks in Hollywood right now. A few months ago, rumors started circulating about Chris Pratt potentially usurping the iconic role from Harrison Ford. In an interview with Yahoo Movies, however, Steven Spielberg briefly suggested that Ford may put Indy’s fedora back on once again. He made the comment sitting alongside Tom Hanks, who is starring in Spielberg’s upcoming film, Bridge of Spies.
“Now, I’ll probably do an Indy V with Harrison, so then it’ll be five for Harrison, four for Tom,” Spielberg said.
For the record, Spielberg’s other collaborations with Tom Hanks include Saving Private Ryan, The Terminal, and Catch Me if You Can. His collaborations with Ford solely consist of the previous Indiana Jones films.
It’s entirely possible Spielberg was only joking about Ford’s involvement in a fifth Indiana Jones movie. All we know is that the film has been confirmed by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and is likely to come out in late 2018.
