James Mangold: "About a month remaining."

Drew Struzan: "I've truly had my last adventure and I'm enjoying my retirement."

January 11, 2022
David Webb: "With the film I'm on now (Indiana Jones 5), I know that our armorer and stunt coordinator are veterans, completely trustworthy throughout their careers. Visual effects have taken over so much. (Explosive) squibs started getting phased out years ago, just because they looked bad. We're using fewer blanks on set. All the weapons are airsoft models. Muzzle flashes, squibs and ricochets are added later in postproduction."

February 6, 2022
Phedon Papamichael: "I'm doing that, yes. And hopefully at some point that movie will come to an end. A very long time but we're nearing the end and it's going to be quite a spectacle. We're all happy that we made it and are very proud of it."

February 8, 2022
John Williams will complete what he expects to be his final two films: The Fabelmans, loosely based on Spielberg's childhood, and a fifth installment in the Indiana Jones series.

February 18, 2022
Boyd Holbrook: "I think this Indiana Jones film is going to be kick-ass. I can't wait for it either. I've seen a lot of it. I've been doing it for nine months. But yeah. It's badass. I don't think it's any secret that Jim Mangold is directing it. And he's an amazing guy to work with. Jim has a way to just draw an amazing performance out of every actor he works with, and I think he's very suited for this one. Logan, and obviously Ford v Ferrari, all the action stuff. I think you're going to see all that kind of bottlenecking for Indiana Jones. We're on literally our last week, week and a half of filming. And so I'm just trying to enjoy the last bit of it."

February 20, 2022
Frank Marshall: "Home stretch..."

February 23, 2022
Drew Struzan: "I've had my last crusade, I'm retired. I'm whipping my feet up on the couch. I'm retired."

February 26, 2022
Mally Chung: "Just before the pandemic, I was scouting on Indiana Jones. And as a result of the pandemic, we chose local locations opposed to foreign ones. So much to the benefit of the northeast."

February 27, 2022
James Mangold: "And so begins the first day after the storm.."

February 27, 2022
Frank Marshall: "That's a wrap!!!"

March 2, 2022
Harrison Ford paid out of his own pocket for a no-expense spared wrap party for UK film crew dubbed Raiders of the Forbidden Bar. A flyer advertising the bash showed Harrison in full Indiana costume, holding a waiters' drinks tray backed by a glitterball. Hundreds of crew are thought to have attended the bash, which was held last Saturday night at Bike Shed, in Shoreditch.

March 7, 2022
James Mangold: "Although I've been cutting while shooting, I officially start editing INDY today! To all those asking about trailers and teasers, still drops and first looks and other peeks or sneaks, this is the right place to look for info, but just a bit too soon. Be well and be patient! Can't wait to share."

March 17, 2022
Richard Young: "Disney had talked to me about doing an origin story about this character, this was just when the pandemic hit so that got put on the backburner and then they started production on Indy 5, so they got very quiet about that. I don't whether it's a dead issue at this point."

March 20, 2022
John Williams: "I will go home to California in a few days and finish up Steven Spielberg's latest film, which is is untitled, but is very, very interesting! And then I will start Indiana Jones number 5, can you imagine? Well, I thought maybe four is enough, then, Harrison Ford, who is the star of the movie and I think he is 78, and though he's younger than I, I thought if he can do it, I can do it!"

March 20, 2022
John Williams: "You don't know my age, but if Harrison Ford at 78 can do this, I can at least try."

Mar 27, 2022
James Mangold: "I love symmetries. There's many in my films. For instance, in LOGAN's 1st scene we find our hero laid out, rising into frame & our last shot features him laid out & under the ground. 310 TO YUMA begins & ends on a CU of Logan Lerman. Some symmetries in my next film too! So.. yes! Putting characters in similar situations at vastly different points in the narrative is a good way, I think, to highlight the differences as well as the similarities."

March 30, 2022
Phedon Papamichael: "I do love going back and forth between big produced designed movies. As you can imagine, Indiana Jones is. We have Adam Stockhausen as a production designer, who did French Dispatch and West Side Story and Budapest Hotel. So it's a very controlled design environment, which is also fantastic because if it's a great designer you feel like it's real."

March 31, 2022
Ke Huy Quan: "Over the years, I always dreamed of revisiting those characters. In fact, we tried for many years, making a Goonies 2. We've hired numerous writers with numerous drafts, but it just never came to be. And so, even my return to acting, it was once, to me, a very, very distant dream. The Daniels made that distant dream into a reality today and I'm so grateful to them. So, yeah, I'd love to. I'm excited that we're going to get Indiana Jones 5. I love Harrison Ford very much, and I can't wait for him to don that fedora hat once again, and crack that whip another time. So yeah, I'm very happy."

April 7, 2022
Ke Huy Quan: "Yes! Absolutely to more Indiana Jones movies. Haha."

April 11, 2022
Ke Huy Quan: "We'll see, you know, we'll see. It's the power at Lucasfilm and Disney Plus. I'm curious to see what they want to do with that character, especially when we have Indiana Jones 5 coming out. In fact, I'm so happy to see Harrison Ford at it again, donning that famous fedora hat and cracking that whip one more time. I would be the first in line to watch it."

April 14, 2022
Mads Mikkelsen: "(Raiders) was one of my favorite films, and it just oozed that golden period of serials from the 1940s - and that's in the fifth film as well. They're going heavily back to the first and second film and getting that original feel, the original Indy, something dense and epic. It felt like a Spielberg film, though it's obviously James making it with the same vision. It was the first time I met (Ford), and he's an insanely powerful person. Not just as an actor, but physically. I remember the first day we were shooting, it was a night shoot, then we stopped at 5 a.m. - and then he got on his mountain bike and went biking for 50 kilometers. Harrison is a monster of a man, a very nice monster."

April 15, 2022
Ke Huy Quan: "Oh my God, are you kidding? That's a f'ing great character! (laughs) I would accept it instantly without a doubt. It'd be cool to see an adult version of short round, and it'll be cool if I get to play him! I'll be in the first in line to see the next movie. Nobody can play Indiana Jones but Harrison Ford, so I'm going to love seeing him don the fedora again and crack that whip one more time."

April 15, 2022
Ramin Karimloo: "Hadley, he's just got into acting this year. He spent six months filming with Harrison Ford doing the new Indiana Jones movie. It's crazy, right? He was the walking acting double for the lead kid! It was his first audition, too! They called and said, 'Does Hadley want to act?' And I was like, 'Hadley, do you want to act?' And he said, 'Sure!' So I did a self-tape for him. I told him, 'Don't act, just be you. How would you react to this?' Next thing I know, he was hired! They ultimately went with someone who's got a slightly different look for the role, but kids can only do so many hours, so they brought him on as the acting double. And it was great because whenever they did Harrison's takes, Hadley stepped in. I was like, 'That's the best job! There's no pressure and you're learning by working with Han Solo!' I don't even know (the plot)! I didn't get a script, I'm not privy to it. He didn't tell me! He'd phone me daily. 'Oh, Harrison did this on set! Oh, Phoebe Waller-Bridge said this, I met Antonio Banderas today!' I couldn't believe it! They were all staying at the same hotel, and Boyd Holbrook - who has his wife and kid with him - were like, playing games with Hadley."

April 23, 2022
James Mangold: "Common marketing practice for a summer studio release often includes dropping a 1st teaser of some sort during the previous Winter. So perhaps you'll find it calming to consider that films tend to follow time honored rhythms."

April 27, 2022
Tony Chambers: "Next year, thanks to the folks at Lucasfilm, the one and only Indiana Jones will return."

May 18, 2022
Kathleen Kennedy: "We would never make Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford. Having just finished the fifth movie, I can tell you, there wasn't a day I wasn't on set where I wasn't like, yes, this is Indiana Jones. Maybe I'm closer to the DNA of Indy, and always have been, than I was when I came into Star Wars, because now it does seem so abundantly clear that we can't do that. You get excited by these things, and you want to revisit things you want. You want to have that feeling again, and you're trying to resurrect that. I think that's what we do even with our new characters."

Official Twitter: Check out this first look of the new James Mangold-directed film.

May 26, 2022
Harrison Ford: "It's a great pleasure to be here. It's a special honor for me to be able to congratulate John on his 90th birthday. I told John on another occasion when we had a chance to get together that that music follows me everywhere I go. And you know what, I'm happy about it. That music was playing on the speakers in the operating room when I had my last colonoscopy. I passed. We all know about what John does musically. What you may not know and what I have come to really appreciate is the warmth, the generosity, the boyish spirit of this man. The most gracious man, the gentlest, kindest man, and a wonderful, wonderful talent that we're blessed with, all of us. We have almost completed the next Indiana Jones film, featuring the music of John Williams. And I had a wonderful experience working with James Mangold, with Kathy and Frank again, and I am really proud of the movie that we made. So I'll be seeing you around campus. The date, if I remember correctly, is June 30th, 2023. I'll be there, I hope you will too."

May 26, 2022
Kathleen Kennedy: "James Mangold has done an unbelievable job with Indy. And he and Harrison have an incredible relationship and I think the fans are just going to love what he's created. It's fantastic."

May 27, 2022
Kathleen Kennedy: "Oh, we're done shooting. Yes. I would say his energy is amazing, John Williams' energy is amazing. He is the Bionic Man. I mean, Harrison in real life, and as Indiana Jones. He's just remarkable. We had an absolute blast. And he worked almost every day of the shoot. It was remarkable. Yes, but you know, he's an older Indiana Jones, and we don't shy away from that. You know, that's what the movie's about. And that's what's pretty great. And Phoebe Waller-Bridge plays a fantastic character in the movie, and they have a great banter. And it's got all the elements of what I think everybody's going to be looking forward to with Indiana Jones, so I'm excited."

May 27, 2022
Ian Seabrook: "Truly an epic experience collaborating on this one..." (Hashtags apnea, underwater, cinematography)

June 12, 2022
Olivier Richters [translated]: "The last few weeks I was shooting for Indiana Jones I was best friends with Mads Mikkelsen. We walked into each other's tents, discussed ideas for scenes. I remember saying to my girlfriend, "It's so weird that a few years ago I was watching him in James Bond and now I'm playing him in a movie myself." An unreal situation, but the funny thing is that it's becoming more and more common for someone like Harrison Ford to walk by or smile at me. I see him as a colleague rather than a superstar. My agent said, 'You're really going to play different characters with more text one day, but we have to go for Indiana Jones now.' I found that very painful, because the director of John Wick had told me that he specifically asked me for this role because he wanted to give me the opportunity to get out of the box with actors who are only cast because of their height. I remember during one of the first scenes we shot I asked [James Mangold] if he didn't want it a little more like The Terminator, to which he got mad and said, 'Damn, stop your Terminator, you're Olivier.'"

June 14, 2022
Olivier Richters: "Even on IMDB, it doesn't say which character I am. That's how secret it still is. We just finished filming and going into editing now. If I'm say something now, they'll be really, really mad, so I can't. What I can tell you is it's my biggest part that I've ever done from all the movies. I was eight months there. We went to Morocco, Italy, London, Scotland. Playing with Harrison Ford and Mads Mikkelsen and Boyd Holbrook, I mean, those people are so much more further in their acting careers than me and great teachers. I had Boyd and Mads, we were doing scenes in the same room. And they weren't shy about giving me tips when I asked them. Harrison Ford is 79 now. He had more stamina than me. I didn't see him sitting on a chair any day for eight months. In the breaks, he's on his bicycle. Always energy, always flirting with the extras on set. I don't know how he does it."

June 14, 2022
Antonia Banderas: "First day I got to makeup early, somebody knocks on the door, I look back and he says, 'Hey' and he was Indiana Jones with his wig, the hat, the whole thing," Banderas said of meeting the OG Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford, on set. "It was like, 'Whoa, this is weird.' I saw Indiana Jones when I moved to Madrid early '80s. I remember even the name of the cinema, and I thought, 'Oh my god, this is the future of movies, adventure movies,' and it was for many years. For 40 years. Now, everything is changing. The paradigm of cinema is changing."

June 15, 2022
Antonia Banderas: "I had to stop for nine days of rehearsal on Company. I left very specific plans for musical numbers with the choreographer and some other things I didn't have to be there for. I was shooting the movie in Sicily. Every day I would go home in a hotel and receive an email with the full rehearsal. So I was watching it and taking notes. It was like that. It went well. I don't know about the film. We'll see."

June 16, 2022
Antonia Banderas: "So unbelievable. The first day I arrived, I was in the makeup trailer, and I turned around and there he was in the full Indiana costume with the hat and the whip. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was there with him, too, and it was so cool. I still remember the first time I saw Indiana Jones in a theater and the crowd was crazy about it. I thought, 'This is like going back to the old adventure (movies) in a completely different way.' What I can tell you about my character is he's not a bad guy. He's a friend of Indiana. He's not the biggest character in the movie, but I don't care. I just like to be part of that."

June 19, 2022
Didi Bizzarro: "I worked on the Indiana Jones movie in the summer, these are the two big ones I've done in the last two years."

June 21, 2022
Frank Marshall: "It's a great story, it's a great character, and I think you're going to be very happy with this movie. It's everything I think that everybody wants out of an Indiana Jones movie. It's really up to the creative forces that are behind this one, so I leave that to Jim Mangold. As a producer, I always look at my role in these movies as supporting the vision of the director." Being back on an Indiana Jones set has been "wonderful. It's like going back home. It's relaxed and fun and very comfortable. Like a home-cooked meal. Staying with Indy all these years has just made it a real pleasure. To be able to now do another one has just been fantastic."

June 23, 2022
John Williams: "At the moment I'm working on Indiana Jones 5, which Harrison Ford - who's quite a bit younger than I am - I think has announced will be his last film. So, I thought: If Harrison can do it, then perhaps I can, also."

June 25, 2022
John Williams will start recording music for the yet untitled fifth Indiana Jones film next Tuesday, June 28 at 10AM, the composer revealed during the Kennedy Center pre-concert talk.

June 26, 2022
Steven Spielberg: "When I abdicated my role as director and slid over to executive producer, we hired a wonderful director for it who is doing a sensational, impassioned job on this, James Mangold. We all love him and Harrison loves him. I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm stil waiting to see the film all finished, but I can just tell you that the dailies look fantastic."

July 12, 2022
Aron Von Andrian: "It's mad at his age to still be doing action films to that degree. I was actually so shocked at how he was so fit, in such good shape, better shape than I'm in, and I exercise in gym a lot. That guy is incredible. I heard that he cycles for a couple of hours before a 6 A.M. shoot starts. That guy's been keeping fit and healthy for a long time. He does just as many stunts and action moves in that one as all the other ones, and he does most of them himself, so it's pretty mad. I worked with Mads Mikkelsen, I worked with Boyd Holbrook, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is in my scene. I didn't really work with her, but she's in the scene, but in a different part of it. Working most with Boyd and Mads. Every single day I was completely confused on what's going on. It was completely insane, but they definitely pulled it off, I don't know how. I think it's going to be one of the best action movies because it's so ambitious to do something like that. Indiana Jones always does that, but I think this time they've taken it to kind of a whole new level, and I'm just so proud to be a part of it. Just a small role, but still I'm very excited for people to see it."

July 14, 2022
Chris Pratt: "I don't even know who Steven Spielberg is. Steven who? No, aren't they doing Indiana Jones with Harrison Ford? Here's the thing, all I know is that I once saw a quote from Harrison Ford who said that when, and I don't even really know if it was really him, but it was enough to scare me, he was like, 'when I die, Indiana Jones dies.' And I'm like, am I gonna like get haunted by the ghost of Harrison Ford one day when he dies if I play [the character]. I don't know, that's not anything that is real I think, people are capable of making mistakes even if they're Deadline."

July 21, 2022
Toby Jones: "Nothing whatsoever. I am under 24 hour surveillance. There's a a camera they've installed. If I say anything at all I get an electric shock. Well, you don't really know anything. If you ask me about anything I'll say: 'Well that might have gone by now. They might have re-edited it.' You can't really confirm anything but your presence in the film."

July 26, 2022
Andrew Hegele: "I'm working on something now that is the reason I joined this company. The day I interviewed for this job they announced that this movie was going to happen, like five years ago. I was like, this is serendipitous, I gotta work on it. I've been working on it, and it's been the greatest privilege of my life. It's great."

July 26, 2022
Boyd Holbrook: "It's kind of like a childhood dream, and you could feel a little bit of that pressure, but I try not to go down those roads. I really just focus on the job at hand. We've got Jim Mangold directing the film, and the guy just can't make a bad movie. He is so precise in what he does. Harrison Ford is ripping and roaring. Age ain't nothing but a number to this man."

July 27, 2022
Boyd Holbrook: "I'm in Los Angeles now and I got to see Jim pass by the studio yesterday. I got to see about thirty minutes of the film, and I know people are going to be satisfied with this. Jim just can't make a bad movie. It's incredible. He's incredible. It's fast and it's badass."

July 28, 2022
Karen Allen: "It would be cool, but I can't tell you anything about it."

July 28, 2022
IMAX: "The year progresses with a remarkable offering of franchise tentpoles through 2023."

July 29, 2022
Boyd Holbrook: "I can absolutely 100% guarantee that this will be a fast, badass, enjoyable movie. Jim Mangold just can't make a bad movie."

August 3, 2022
Boyd Holbrook: "Jim called again and asked me to do a little character. [Working with Ford was] incredible, actually. Jim Mangold is a dear friend, and I've worked with him before and he's taken the helm of directing Indiana Jones and Harrison's still going. He's a mad man in the best sense possible. It's incredible, the tenacity that this guy has in his older age, but you wouldn't notice a bit. It's incredible to be able to be part of a franchise that I was such a fan of as a kid."

August 10, 2022
Boyd Holbrook: "I can assure you that it's going to be badass. I got to see like half an hour of it when I went to L.A., and I saw Jim. You know, just look at his work: Ford v Ferrari, it's gonna be fast, it's gonna be badass, and it's gonna have heart. All of his films have this emotional beat in them, but we've got this grand scale of Indiana Jones. And Harrison is the best type of crazy you can get. And I really grew up with Indiana Jones. I wasn't so big on other franchises, and stuff like that, but to do that, it really just reignited why I want to do this. Because you live on the road. It's been about 10 months on the road right now, being a traveling circus with your family. It was just refreshing to want to go through all that. To do something and to make something that's burned into eternity. To be part of Indiana Jones, it's pretty great."

August 16, 2022
John Rhys-Davies: "Well, look. The truth of the matter is, if I was in it, I wouldn't be allowed to tell you anyway. So let's assume that I'm not. I would imagine it'll be amazing. I would imagine it's a very good story if Harrison has approved it. Yeah, it's another blockbuster."

August 19, 2022
Q: "Is there anything you can tell us about that?"
Mads Mikkelsen: "Yes, but then I would have to kill you all. It's one of those, right? It is so top secret. Every day of shooting felt like a real Indiana Jones film. It felt like going back to the scratch. Everything looked like it. Harrison was there wearing his clothes. It was just a brilliant experience."

August 20, 2022
James Mangold: "We come out 6/30/23. So do some marketing math. Do films often promote themselves much a year before release?"

August 29, 2022
John Williams: "30 percent of the way I would say, I pretty much have the thematic scheme done, but we probably will be working on this into September. You and I are talking now, where are we, July, early July. So some weeks of work to go. Right now, we're, I don't know, a few yards from where I work. As I leave you and thank you, I will go to work on something, and I think it's reel six of Indiana Jones part 5. That will be with me the rest of the day."

September 2, 2022
Robert Meyer Burnett: "It's supposed to be great. I heard the budget was $300 million, for the extended period of time that they shot."

September 2, 2022
John Williams: "Last week we were recording the music for the new Indiana Jones film. It really looks fabulous. Harrison Ford is doing everything so wonderfully well. And I don't know how old he is. To me, he's an adolescent. It's brilliant to watch him. And we have a character in the film, you're going to love this woman, is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who many of you know is a fantastic actress. Her comedy scenes are wonderful, and the action scenes are brilliant, she and Harrison, something you will treasure to see the two of them together. Having a chat with our wonderful director Jim Mangold, fantastic man, and last week as we were recording the music, Jim said 'why don't you play it at the Bowl next week?' I said 'Jim, the picture's not coming out until next year.' 'That doesn't matter, play it at the Bowl anyway.' So here is Phoebe's theme. She's kind of, she's an adventuress and she's also a femme fatale. She's many, many things. And her music, she has a kind of lyrical music like an old movie star, which she looks like, except she's young and beautiful and wonderful. Here is Helena's Theme, like six months too early."

September 3, 2022
John Williams: "Last week we were recording the music for the new Indiana Jones 5. And so our director Jim Mangold suggested that we heard the piece a few days ago and made the recording and he said 'play it at the Hollywood Bowl.' And I said 'Jim, the film doesn't come out for another year.' So this is a preview. There's a lady in the movie, she's called Phoebe Waller-Bridge. So many of you know her. She's absolutely fantastic, and she and Harrison are so fabulous together. You'll have such fun watching them in the comedy scenes and the action scenes and so on, she's really great. And I don't know how old Harrison is, but to me he's a teenager, and he's doing, he looks fabulous and he does the action stunts and moves beautifully. It's really a treat. The character that Miss Phoebe plays is called Helena, and she's a combination of an adventuress and a femme fatale at the same time. And she has music that is very romantic in kind of the old Hollywood style. Here is Helena's theme."

September 4, 2022
John Williams: "Here's a little soft piece. Last week we were recording the music for Indiana Jones 5. This is a little theme for a character called Helena, and she's played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Some of you will know her, she's a fantastic woman, comedienne, she does action things through this, all of it. And she and Harrison, it's like a duo really, Harrison and Phoebe, you'll have two and a half hours of pleasure watching these two wonderful wizards. And Harrison, I don't know how old he is, but to me he's a juvenile. So I think you will enjoy this film very much. It doesn't come out til next year. We recorded the music as I said last week, and our director Jim Mangold said 'why don't you play it at the Hollywood Bowl?' So I said 'why are we here?' So this is right off the studio music stands, from some recording studio to the Hollywood Bowl, Helena's Theme."

September 5, 2022
James Mangold: "This man is so gifted, charming and in love with making his art, even at 90. Astonishing to consider the worldwide impact of John's music and his ability to tune modern ears into the passion and purity of an orchestra. It's a euphoric honor to collaborate with him. I agree more is better when it comes to John's brilliant work. But I feel I must point out La La Land Records has released many multi-disc versions of his scores. Fear not. His team is sharp know what they are doing. Right now, I am focused on finishing touches the film itself!"

September 10, 2022
Kathleen Kennedy: "But of course, I could not leave here without talking about one more project. We've been working for quite a while on this one. I am thrilled to welcome to the stage our director James Mangold."
James Mangold: "Thank you Kathy. It's incredible to be here at D23 and look out at all these fans of Indiana Jones, of all the other Lucasfilm and Disney projects. But speaking of Indiana Jones, Kathy, you've worked on every single one."
Kathleen Kennedy: "I have. Yeah, I was five."
James Mangold: "You were five. Well, along with a lot of the people collaborating with us on this one, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Frank Marshall..."
Kathleen Kennedy: "George Lucas."
James Mangold: "George Lucas, and the astounding John Williams."
Kathleen Kennedy: "And I also want to say Industrial Light and Magic, because ILM is, they always do such amazing work."
James Mangold: "No, ILM, of course. I mean, so many of the wonderful crafts people and artists who worked, have joined me on this one, and I'm kind of among a Mount Rushmore of creative greats making this movie. I have to say that the day that Harrison and you and Steven came to me to talk about making this picture was a kind of frozen moment for me because, you know, I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in the Mid Valley Mall in Middletown, New York in high school, and it's one of the reasons I became a film director. And then to be working on this film when one of my producers is Steven Spielberg who is one of my all time favorite filmmakers, and my star is Harrison Ford who is one of my all time favorite actors. My composer is John Williams, who is one of the all time great composers. And it has been an honor and a pleasure to collaborate with you on this, and Frank, and everyone, and you know, we're right now, I yesterday was sitting with John and we're scoring presently as some of you might have been at Hollywood Bowl, you would have got a sneak peek of some of his score. And that reminds me of the other wonderful addition to this cast, which is the phenomenally talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge who joins us. So I was surrounded by tremendous talent and support and such good will and advice, and I found myself living out a kind of fantasy I had when I was in high school, which was wondering what it would it feel like to make one of these pictures, and all the time honoring in my own mind what these movies are for you and for me, and trying to bring that back again this year. Next year."
Kathleen Kennedy: "Well, I'm just going to say that he has so completely brought this back that I think we need to show you a little bit."
James Mangold: "A little something." (trailer)
Harrison Ford: "No, thank you. Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us. Giving the opportunity to us to make these films for you. And I think I'm very proud to say, I'm very proud to say that this one is fantastic. And this (Phoebe) is one of the reasons. Indiana Jones movies are about mystery and adventure, but they're also about heart. And we're really, really happy that we have a really human story to tell, as well as a movie that will kick your ass. So I'm delighted to be here again, and maybe for the, no. Not maybe. This is it. I will not fall down for you again. But thank you so much. And thank you Jim Mangold for picking up, for picking up the pieces and making a spectacular, spectacular film."
James Mangold: "Thank you. You know, one thing I want to say is when Harrison and I first started talking about what we were going to do with this movie, well the one, the three words that kept coming to our mind were Phoebe Waller-Bridge. And so then, then we had an idea about how to create a really great foil for him in this adventure. And I have to say it's one of the, I can't wait for you to see the picture, because both of these guys are incredible, and I hope, Phoebe, you had a good time making this."
Phoebe Waller-Bridge: "I had the time of my life making this movie, and feel so incredibly lucky to be working with you legends and keeping up with this guy (Ford) is exhausting. We got to do so many unbelievable things together, and chase each other around the most incredible places, and I really, these films mean a lot to me as well, and Jim, you have protected and brought back everything that everybody loves and needs from these films, and then brought this extra other sparkle that's just purely you. So thank you so, so much for having me involved. And I cannot wait for you guys to see it because it's, this is as much fun to watch as it is to make it."
James Mangold: "I can't wait."
Kathleen Kennedy: "Thank you everybody, we are going to see you next summer."

Frank Marshall: "Indy and his goddaughter, Helena."

September 21, 2022
Toby Jones: "I did the latest Indiana Jones film, and I had to do a lot of stunts. They're letting me do stunts, I couldn't believe it, and I told the stunt guys, 'should they be really allowing me to jump between these trains?' They said, 'does it bother you?' I said, 'no, I'm finding it really fascinating.'"

September 28, 2022
Frank Marshall: "We all got emotional. We've been together for 40 years, and we feel like we made a really good movie. You look back at all the movies and you get emotional, because that's your life and your career. He's been that character for so long."
Q: "Indiana Jones 6?"
Frank Marshall: "I don't know. When we signed up, we signed up for three movies, so the next two were all icing on the cake."

October 14, 2022
Antonio Banderas (translated): "I think my contract forbids me to go into detail... No, seriously ! What I can tell you is that I'm not the bad guy in the story. He's a very, very small character. It's almost a cameo in fact. So don't expect to see me in a big role (Laughs.) I'm playing a friend from Indy who he's going to ask for a hand at some point. And I can't reveal more! But just the fact of having set foot on the set and having worked three or four days with Harrison Ford, it was already enormous."

November 1, 2022
Ray Winstone: "I didn't get asked. It's funny, when I was doing the other one, Steven said to me, would you do another one? I went nuh-uh. I was joking. I said nah, go on, I don't want to do no more. Anyway, I didn't. Obviously he took me seriously, yeah. So that was the end of that. And funny, I was in Sicily when they were filming it. They were filming it in Sicily, so it was about a year. I thought of going down to the set and seeing them but I thought I better not, I better stay away."

November 8, 2022
Bob Chapek: "Harrison Ford is back in the eagerly awaited fifth Indiana Jones film, which is going to be spectacular. Of course, all of our theatrical titles will eventually make their way on to our streaming platforms."

November 8, 2022
Variety: Disney is actively looking to develop an Indiana Jones TV show for Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively from sources. The Mouse House and Lucasfilm have specifically been bringing up the possibility of a streaming show set in the world of the globe trotting archaeologist in general meetings with writers of late, sources say. They are still looking for a writer to take on the project, thus no plot details are available.

November 8, 2022
The Wrap: This new series won't follow the whip-wielding adventurer, but will instead be a prequel focused on young Abner Ravenwood. Abner would be mentoring a group of young archeologists, just as he would one day mentor Indiana Jones. We are told that some of the creative heavyweights behind the upcoming fifth installment in the film franchise will most likely return for the television series.

November 10, 2022
James Mangold: "Haven't been any screenings at all. No one will ever replace Indiana Jones. Not in any script. Not in any cut. Never discussed. I have a pretty good copy (of the trailer) myself. And soon everyone will. I'm thinkin less than a month. Less than 30 days."

November 15, 2022
Antonio Banderas (translated): "It's a really short role. There's not much of it. It was a pleasure to work under the production of Steven Spielberg and to work with Harrison Ford. It was beautiful. I felt a bit lazy to do it because I was rehearsing (for my musical). He had a physical problem and the filming of the movie had to be postponed a little bit. I was scheduled to finish just as I was starting rehearsals. We had planned it that way. But he had a physical problem, so during rehearsals I had to go to Sicily for a week, then to Pinewood Studios in London. And then due to the COVID issue the shooting was stopped and I had to go back there again in February."

November 19, 2022
Harrison Ford: "It's full of adventure, full of laughs, full of real emotion. And it's complex and it's sneaky. The shooting of it was tough and long and arduous. But I'm very happy with the film that we have. I just thought it would be nice to see one where Indiana Jones was at the end of his journey. If a script came along that I felt gave me a way to extend the character."
James Mangold: "It became really important to me to figure out how to make this a movie about a hero at sunset. The issues I brought up about Indy's age were not things I thought were being addressed in the material being developed at the time. There were 'old' jokes, but the material itself wasn't about it. To me, whatever your greatest liability, you should fly straight towards that. If you try to pretend it's not there, you end up getting slings and arrows the whole way."

November 21, 2022
Jez Butterworth: "The simple fact is that the moon-landing program was run by a bunch of ex-Nazis. How 'ex' they are is the question. And it gets up Indy's nose. It's not just that the model of what a hero is has completely changed. Not just that they're looking for something where there's nothing up there - it's like Reno without the gambling, or whatever his line is. But the people that are behind it are, you know, his sworn enemies."
Mads Mikkelsen: "He's a man who would like to correct some of the mistakes of the past. There is something that could make the world a much better place to live in. He would love to get his hands on it. Indiana Jones wants to get his hands on it as well. And so, we have a story."
Boyd Holbrook: "I'm a lapdog to Mads, and a crazy one at that."

November 21, 2022
James Mangold: "I wanted the chance to dive into this kind of full-on George-and-Steven old picture and give the audience an adrenaline blast. And then we fall out, and you find yourself in 1969. So that the audience doesn't experience the change between the '40s and '60s as an intellectual conceit, but literally experiences the buccaneering spirit of those early days, and then the beginning of now."
Kathleen Kennedy: "My hope is that, although it will be talked about in terms of technology, you just watch it and go, 'Oh my God, they just found footage. This was a thing they shot 40 years ago.' We're dropping you into an adventure, something Indy is looking for, and instantly you have that feeling, 'I'm in an Indiana Jones movie.'"
Harrison Ford: "This is the first time I've seen it where I believe it. It's a little spooky. I don't think I even want to know how it works, but it works. Doesn't make me want to be young, though. I'm glad to have earned my age."

November 21, 2022
Phoebe Waller-Bridge: "She's a mystery and a wonder. Kathy was in London and asked to have dinner with me, and casually mentioned this. I immediately ordered ten bottles of wine. Then it was the fastest I've ever read a script; I came out of a sort of haze afterwards. I just couldn't believe how much fun I had and how moved I was by it. And then I had a Zoom and screamed, 'YES!' at them all. I was like, 'Oh yeah, sure, I'll just do my Barbara Stanwyck.' IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE FEAT. Honestly, I just loved it. When you're playing a character who throws herself on the back of a vehicle, there's no acting around that. You just have to bloody do it."
James Mangold: "(She's) slippery, charming, the girl next door, a grifter."
Harrison Ford: "(She's) a pioneer in ethical accounting."

November 29, 2022
Antonio Banderas: "My character is very little; it's almost a cameo. He's just a friend of Indiana's character, and he's looking for him because he needs something from his friend. But he just takes up very little time of the movie, but very happy to be part of a saga that is of the history of motion pictures, obviously. Just the fact that I step on the set, for me, was important. And I got to tell you: I had a great time with Harrison. He's a gentleman on the set and outside of the set. I share some dinners with him and some time, and what a gentleman."

November 30, 2022
Karen Allen: "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you! Seriously, I can't say a word."
Q: "And what about you and Indy having a kid? Last time it was supposed to be Shia LaBeouf. Now what?"
Karen Allen gave me a blank stare.

IMAX: Experience Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in IMAX next June.

December 2, 2022
James Mangold: "One more time. No one is taking over or replacing Indy or donning his hat nor is he being erased thru some contrivance- and he never was, not in any cut or script - but trolls will troll - that's how they get their clicks. And please don't exhaust me pointing out how once in a while a troll is right. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then. All one has to do is look at set photos & interviews & u get enough info to make wild guesses about a movie plot. The diff between trolling a-holes & everyone else is they r trying to make $ off your feelings about other films & culture war politics. They push controversial guesses as coming from sources to gin up clicks. Let it go."

December 2, 2022
James Mangold: "Arri LNF with old Panavision Anamorphic Lenses. I love lenses. It's so interesting to me even w/ lenses of the same focal length, the differences that can be perceived, the way they each uniquely render things - contrast, distortion, vignetting, focus, particularly anamorphic lenses which r by nature finicky. 1) It creates visual unity to use a single lens family. Most directors I admire use limited ranges of lenses either long ones (Ridley, Kurosawa), medium (Ozu) or short (wider) like SS or Wes A, Kubrick (very wide). This produces a consistent look and the shots cut better. 2) I love the romantic notion that nearly a whole movie was shot with the same piece of glass. 3) Nothing teaches u how to move a camera better than a fixed lens. 4) I particularly love med wides (27-40) used close at min. focus. Produces a real sense of intimacy w/ subject."

December 4, 2022
John Rhys-Davies (translated): "You are going to see an incredible tour, directed by a magnificent director and two great actors of our era. We can't wait for you!"

December 5, 2022
Harrison Ford: "This is a different kind of de-aging. This is actual archival footage of film of me at that age. So it's not that, it's a different process. It's pretty remarkable. It blew me away."

December 7, 2022
Q: "Are you really ready to hang up your hat this time? And are you passing the baton?"
Harrison Ford: "No, I'm just telling a story, telling a story. You'll see, you'll see. I hope you like it."

December 12, 2022
John Williams: "Here are three pieces from Indiana Jones 5. I thought we would be finished with Indiana Jones after 4. You know Harrison Ford, you all know who Harrison Ford is. Harrison is 78 years old, but he's much younger that I am. But I thought if he can do five of them, I have to try and do the five also. So we have just about completed the film. We have maybe another ending to shoot and to record in maybe a couple of weeks. So we'll play three of the pieces from the Jones series. Helena's Theme is a new piece for Indiana Jones, which is part of the score, which is a theme for the principal actress. We actually haven't done this before, playing music that's in the next film before the film is released. But we'll play you Helena's Theme just for fun, and if you go to see the film next year you'll hear it then again in the film."

December 14, 2022
Q: "Is there any part of you that's going to miss him at all?"
Harrison Ford: "I'm not built that way. I mean, I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to play him. I'm especially happy that we have closed the circle on him, and we see the character in a different light and in different circumstances than we might expect. I like, I'm very happy with the film that we've made."

December 14, 2022
Frank Marshall: "I'll say it again. No one is taking over or replacing Indy or donning his hat nor is he being erased thru some contrivance, and he never was, not in any cut or script."

December 14, 2022
Antonio Banderas: "I worked with (Ford) and with Phoebe. It's not a long character, it's just a small character, but it's beautiful because he helps Indiana to obtain something that he needs at this particular moment against the Nazis. But it's not a long character. But just to be there, because it's an icon in motion picture history. Harrison was wonderful with me, and Phoebe too. Phoebe is just a fabulous talented woman."

December 15, 2022
Harrison Ford: "Well, I'm hoping that people will be excited to see him back. I really was ambitious to do one more film to see him at this time in his life, because I think it could present opportunities to round out the character a bit, add a degree of complexity to it, tell another great story, which we have, I think. And work with really talented, wonderful actors, which is the other great pleasure of having made that movie. I hope people will enjoy it. I love it."

December 15, 2022
Harrison Ford: "As to how (Yellowstone 1923) compares with Star Wars or Indiana Jones, we're spending a lot more time outdoors in real places, rather than on sets that have to be manufactured to create a reality."

December 18, 2022
James Mangold: "1) John (Williams) was mistaken. Maybe read Twitter too much. 2) We're not shooting new endings. Never did. The film is 99% finished & being rated by MPAA. 3) This imagined zany ending w/ Indy being erased & replaced is a fever dream of wounded folks angry about other films I did not make. We're not shooting & never shot any new scenes or "alt endings". Our film is 99% finished, getting rated by MPAA & VFX being completed. Our post schedule is over in weeks. We don't always keep working till the release date. I'm starting to dig into my next film."

December 19, 2022
James Mangold: "Neither character you mention (Indy or Helena) is in the proposed show. It is not up to me to give away more than that yet."

December 19, 2022
Antonio Banderas: "It was great, but you have to think. My character is very little; it's almost a cameo. It's very little. Just the fact that I step on the set, for me, was important. And I got to tell you: I got a great time with Harrison. He's a gentleman on the set and outside of the set. I share some dinners with him and some time, and what a gentleman. But my character is little. He's just a friend of Indiana's character, and he's looking for him because he needs something from his friend. But he just takes up very little time of the movie, but very happy to be part of a saga that is of the history of motion pictures, obviously."

December 19, 2022
James Mangold: "I don't want to give the movie away. But is there a relic in this movie that possesses a kind of power, or may possess a kind of power? And is it based on history and scientific speculation? Yes." Audiences will "find out what happened" to Mutt. It opens in 1944 with a "blast of classic Indy action, me doing my very best version of Steven, and Harrison doing his best version of being under 40." The film "tumbles" right into 1969. "I mean, 1969 is the beginning of now, really, in terms of technology and the space race. So, you have Cold Wars, nuclear power, intrigue, the lack of clear good guys and bad guys. In the same way, you have to be really considerate about how you try and transpose a fairly simplistic kind of black-hat, white-hat sensibility into a period that is more complicated. We try to exploit that by jumping forward into 1969 to a hero who is used to a black and white world, [but finds himself] in a world that has gone gray." Helena is a "catalyst" for the film. "She's a daughter of a friend of Indy's, who we will also meet in the movie. Helena's gotten herself in a bit of trouble, and brings [that] to Indy's doorstep. She's a character who's a wonderful set of contradictions - charming and brilliant, but also a lot of trouble." Indy is "a phenomenally unique hero" and a "brilliant nerd who is also a badass. He's a guy who's never happier wearing glasses and reading a book, but somehow finds himself in these kinds of incredible situations. He uses unorthodox weapons to defend himself. He usually figures his way out of trouble with his brain, which is a very different set of circumstances than most of the heroes of our contemporary culture, who are just empowered. I'm always interested in this idea of a hero at sunset. What does the hero do when the world no longer has a place for him? I find it really interesting to try to look at classical heroes through the prism of our jaundiced contemporary attitudes." Logan was a "very purposefully and intentionally grim adventure, very dramatic, and very serious. I am under no illusions that my job making an Indiana Jones film was to suddenly beat the humor out of it and turn it into some kind of dirge. I think that what we're trying to do is balance both an accurate and realistic appraisal of where this character would be at this time in his life, and do that honestly, and at the same time, try and carry forward what the very title of our movie promises, which is a romp and a wonderful adventure with action and chivalry and escapes by the skin of your nose and ingenious solutions to diabolical problems. This is an Indiana Jones film."

December 20, 2022
James Mangold: "I don't do a movie unless I can tell the story that interests me. I presented an outline of what I wanted to do. All the principals liked it and then Jez and John Henry Butterworth and I wrote it. Many film makers do tests. I've learned from them in the past. But on high profile franchises, such as this, the studio never puts the film in front of a civilian audience due to the danger of leaks and spoilers and piracy."

December 21, 2022
James Mangold: "VFX r produced in weekly iterations, sometimes 15-25 versions of shots b4 finaled. Teaser trailers, by def r made over 6 months prior to a finished film's release thus don't often have final VFX iterations. It would be folly to shoot an Indy movie in a pure naturalistic style as that'd be an abandonment of what Dougie Slocombe, SS & GL established. If one were hewing to a concept of naturalism in a picture like an Indy film, it'd be hard to justify any light in caves, let alone relics glowing so profoundly that they literally (and impossibly) light faces. Nor could one justify perfect bands of light & shadow hitting eyes. Similarly Indy films r also defined by work on large sets as well as exotic locations, as is DOD. But the palette in a traditional Indy film has generally been more saturated & playful than other modernist epics such as LOA, a slightly over the top technicolor look. My point is that instead of getting at each other's throat and making these discussions so binary, these questions r interesting and the people who use each medium (I've used both) and light and frame things differently do it for different reasons than u might expect. I shoot on the system my DP and I think best for the project. I've never found that studios have a real agenda on that front unless money is tight on a particular film and then digital is the clear winner cause it saves almost a million dollars."

December 21, 2022
Harrison Ford: "It was a particular ambition of mine to see Indiana Jones later in life, and to see the result of the life we know he's lived on him, and to give him a good send-off."

December 22, 2022
Harrison Ford: "I hadn't met (Waller-Bridge) before but I had seen her show, Fleabag. She brought a lot to it and I'm very pleased with the relationship I have with Phoebe in the film. (Mangold and the Butterworths) have produced a script that satisfied my ambition to see the character at the later stages of his career. I think the film is extraordinary." Lucas's praise for Ford's shape is "probably George's failing eyesight. I mean, I keep healthy as much as I can. And I'm doing pretty good for an old f**ker."

December 23, 2022
Antonio Banderas: "I only left a little bit here and there to do the Indiana Jones thing. I had to go to Sicily and then to London, just to do specifically Indiana and then go back to the stage."

December 24, 2022
James Mangold: "I appreciate the enthusiasm but I can't get into answering questions about the movie's plot before the film comes out. Too much speculation. I want the plot and twists to be something you (and others) experience on the big screen, not in a tweet. This is how things get screwed up by the online rumor mill. Someone publishes story there's an Indiana Jones series being developed. But there never was a series about Indy being developed, one that took place in the universe, perhaps, but not involving Indy."

December 30, 2022
Harrison Ford: "It's been very, very good to me. He's a, it's a wonderful character, and the series has been very successful. I'm very grateful for having that opportunity. Thank you, George. Thank You, Steven."
