As the fifth film in the series, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, came to a close this summer, a cinematic great said his goodbyes with a fedora. As a farewell to Harrison Ford’s legendary hero, James Mangold stepped into the director’s chair and produced a big adventure film.
In case you’ve forgotten who the heroic treasure seeker is, Harrison Ford makes a triumphant comeback to the role in The Dial of Destiny.

It is something you should not miss.

Those of you who are always up for an adventure may rest easy; we have the solution to your burning question: when will Disney Plus get Indiana Jones 5?

Indiana Jones 5 Plot
Not only does Ford return to the series, but so does John Rhys-Davies, who portrayed the role of Jones’ faithful companion Sallah in both Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. On the other hand, fans won’t see series regulars Ke Huy Quan as Short Round or Shia Labeouf as Mutt Williams, according to reports.
Voller, a villain with a dark background who works with NASA and was once a Nazi scientist, is played by Mads Mikkelsen. Jones resolves to follow in Voller’s footsteps when he finds a way to improve the planet.
Various locales for the film have been shown in the early pictures. It has been established that New York City will play a significant role in the plot, which is set around 1969. That year, the Apollo 11 lunar landing was a smashing success, and Manhattan played home to a grand procession honoring the astronauts.
Boyd Holbrook, who played Voller’s right-hand man Klaber in In the Shadow of the Moon, is seen in one shot riding a motorcycle during the ticker-tape procession, with the shocked throng watching on.
For the last time, Harrison Ford will sport the trademark fedora and leather jacket in Indiana Jones 5. Since fans were unimpressed by the science-fiction alien premise in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, many are wondering whether the series will ever feel the same way again..
Indiana Jones 5 Trailer
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s first trailer just dropped, and it looks like a fun, throwback adventure. The trailer, which features both returning and new characters, assures viewers that they are in for a good time.
Super Bowl LVII featured the debut of a 30-second commercial. Not much new information about the film’s plot or the ‘dial of destiny’ was revealed in the trailer, but there is a brief exchange between Indiana Jones and the villain Jürgen Voller, more footage of the beloved character Sallah, and a scene including the titular archeologist and his god-daughter Helena Shaw.
The last teaser for Dial of Destiny successfully combines elements of the Indiana Jones series’ lore with those of a fresh new adventure, creating an enjoyable experience for viewers. Just the thought of Indiana Jones, one of the most recognizable figures in cinematic history, returning to the big screen is enough to thrill fans.
