You know, given that Mark Hammill said he was disappointed about not having any scenes with Harrison Ford in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, they could try to rectify that by putting Hammill in this somewhere.

Sorry for the necro, but what's the latest news on Indy 5? I mean, I understand why it's been delayed so much - in addition to COVID, they presumably had to do some major rewrites to dispose of Shia Leboeuf's character, to keep everyone else involved safe from Shia Leboeuf - but it just hit me how very little I've heard about it.

We got magic, aliens, so... multiverse?

[up] A multiverse idea would be funny if it lead to a "Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones" joke.

Except I don't like Tom Selleck much.

Gear up for November 23, 2022, because that's when Empire Magazine will be providing the very first look at Indiana Jones 5!

Also, very first screencap!

Wonder how they'll explain the absence of Shia LePerv's character. [lol] I'm assuming that's part of why this took so long to release.

Depending on how long this takes place after "Crystal Skull", they could just say that he's in school, since that's where Indy wanted him to go.

Or just "other darrin" him.

I just want to know if Karen Allen is coming back.

I'm 100% for "other Darrin-ing" him. I really don't think anyone'll mind.

And bring back Short Round. Or at least reference him.

If they go with 14 years also having passed in universe then Mutt being played by an different actor wouldnt even come across as that weird.

[up]Ke Huy Quan, his actor is actually still working, so a role reprisal would be possible and I'm sure nobody would have any issues with it in that case.

Then: “Ugh, Short Round, that kid’s the worst.”

Now: “More Short Round! True inheritor of Indy’s legacy!”

You know a part of me is wondering now if Short Round is coming back since Ke Quan revealed on Twitter awhile back that he had some kind of reunion with Harrison Ford recently, but didn't say anything more beyond that.

Back to the comfort food of beating Nazis, then.

Funny to think that in 4 Indy films, Indy only actually fought Nazis twice. Though the Russians in Crystal Skull might as well have been Nazis, as they came off pretty much the same.

[up][up] Funny that the article seems to indicate a disillusioned Indy, when Indy has been disillusioned since before Raiders. He's been a man rediscovering his own better instincts, and that his efforts matter, since the first story about him.

I guess that makes sense. Spielberg didn't feel comfortable using the Nazis as joke badguys after Schindler's List... but James Magnold must not have the same viewpoint.

Kingdom of the Cristal Skull was set in 1957, so this is 12 years later.

So how old is Indy in-universe at this point? He already was an old man in Crystal Skull.

According to The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Indy was born July 1, 1899. So he's 70. Harrison Ford, in case you want to know, is 80.

My dream idea for Indy 5 has an opening set piece where Indy's snuck into East Berlin, and finds their way to a lost, forgotten bunker from World War II where the Nazis stashed the Spear of Destiny, and they have to navigate their way past booby traps just like at the start of Raiders. What better way to show the passage of time then to have what was a contemporary fortification in Indy's youth now be the ancient and abandoned edifice that they explore.

[up] And then he brings back the Spear of Destiny and nobody cares. "Oh, another Roman spear..." Of course, that last part might not be new, as that's always been kind of the official reaction to the super-natural implications of the stuff he finds.

"A supernatural killing box with death spirits? Just throw it in the warehouse". grin

So what are the Nazis doing here anyway? Is this going to be a "secret Nazi base on Antarctica" thing?
