Harrison Ford Bids Adieu in the TrailblazingIndiana Jones 5
Directed byJames MangoldofLoganfame,Indiana Jones 5comes a decade and a half after the last adventure of the wise-cracking, whip-wielding professor of archaeology. Set to usher the 80s-era hero into the new age (discounting the weirdly placed 2008 installment) and bid him farewell at the same time, the film will featureHarrison Fordas he brings Indy to the screens in one last search for that which is lost and forgotten. Emotionally reconstructed after the 15-year hiatus, Ford tells of his character and his journey:
“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.”

In an exclusiveEmpireissue, the selective images reveal a fraction of what fate holds for the infamous hero inIndiana Jones 5. So far, history and world-ending threats have been the catalyst to all his race-against-time adventures, and it looks like the final journey is no different than its expectation-defying predecessors.

James Mangold Discloses Details AboutIndiana Jones 5
TheIndiana Jonesfranchise has given its audience a lifetime of memories that have had a lasting effect to this day and age. Its lead, Harrison Ford, was primed to helm his own franchise after his captivating run as Han Solo in theStar Warsoriginal trilogy. In his 1981 debut ofRaiders ofthe Lost Ark, Ford made a definitive place in Hollywood for portraying the iconic character that would go on to redefine the landscape of classical action heroes and called back to the 1930s-famed treasure hunters.

Indiana Jones 5, in the mind of all those who have been associated with theGeorge Lucasfranchise, sets out to be the hunt to end all hunts as the immortalized Captain Dynamite tips his fedora and cracks his bullwhip for the last time. As such, it is only appropriate that director James Mangold would want to honor Ford’s onscreen representation in a manner that is deserving of his career-defining and ever-living legacy.
“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 you 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.”
However, as far as the audience is concerned, one can never have enough of the adrenaline-filled chasm-jumping and Nazi-punching adventures that seem to have become a somewhat signature image whenever Indiana Jones flashes across our memories. Fate may have demanded that the yet untitledIndiana Jones 5needs to put to rest the great life and legacy of the titular hero, but until then, one ought to remember —“We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and X never ever marks the spot.”
Indiana Jones 5premieres on 23 June 2025.
