An Emotional Harrison Ford Shows New Indiana Jones 5 Footage At Disney Event

The makers of Indiana Jones 5 showed its first trailer at the D23 Expo. Although it was not released online, actor Harrison Ford appeared onstage to speak about the footage, joined by director James Mangold and co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

"Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us," he said, looking quite emotional. "I'm very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic. (Points at Waller-Bridge) And this is one of the reasons."

"'Indiana Jones' movies are about fantasy and mystery, but they're also about heart," he continued. "We have a really great story to tell, as well as a movie that will kick your ass."

Ford also alluded to this being his last time in the role, saying: "This is it. I will not fall down for you again. But thank you so much." Waller-Bridge also shared Ford's excitement, saying, "I had the time of my life making this movie. I feel so incredibly lucky and keeping up with this guy (points at Ford) is EXHAUSTING."

While the plot has been largely kept under wraps until now, the newest trailer gives fans the first real look at Indy back in action. The last time the classic character was seen on screen was 14 years ago with "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Ford was 64 when "Crystal Skull" released, and he's now 80, so it seems that no age barrier can stop the world's greatest archaeologist.

Alongside Ford and Waller-Bridge are newcomers to the series Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Thomas Kretschmann and Antonio Banderas, reports Variety. The film marks the first time that acclaimed director Steven Spielberg is not helming an installment of the series. While Spielberg stayed on as a hands-on producer, "Indiana Jones 5" is directed by Mangold.

Indiana Jones 5 is currently set for a June 30, 2023 release date. IANS
