‘Indiana Jones 5’: Phoebe Waller-Bridge Lands Female Lead In Next Installment Opposite Harrison Ford

Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge is set to co-star with Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones 5.

deadline.com

EXCLUSIVE: Following the confirmation at the Disney Investors Presentation in December that the next film was a go, Lucasfilm and director James Mangold look to have their sights set on Harrison Ford’s first new co-star in the next installment of the Indiana Jones franchise. Sources tell Deadline that Fleabag Emmy winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge is set to co-star opposite Ford in the fifth installment, with Ford returning as everyone’s favorite fedora-wearing, whip-slinging archaeologist.

Mangold is taking over directing reins from Steven Spielberg, who still is serving as a producer and is very much involved in various elements of the film. Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel will join Spielberg as producers. John Williams, who has worked on every score in the 40-year-old franchise including its iconic theme, also will return as composer.

The hope is to start production this summer, with Mangold meeting with other talent for other roles in preparation for production. Plot details are still vague on what new adventure awaits Jones, as are details behind who Waller-Bridge will play. The film is set to bow on July 29, 2022.

This is the end. The final movie.

Logan was a pretty good movie. This could be good too.

 

[Reality Czar]

Blood must be squeezed from the stone.

Enough for me though, I'm done with these nostalgic rehashes. I still haven't seen the 3rd Bill & Ted.

Seeing this British twat bully around an elder Indy is not my idea of a good time.

 

[SidViscous]

female lead? finally - every fan of the movies i've spoken to has said they were great, but would be better with a woman lead! I'm surprised it took them this long.

Crystal Skull was so profoundly disappointing that I can't really hold out hope for this one.

Has Mangold made something that bad though?

Harrison Ford is still the lead. She is co-starring. Did you read the article?

Until they reboot the franchise with another actor in a couple of years.

I mean the other movies didn't need a female co-star or anything. /s

He's 5,000 years old, and a replicant with a best before date, and got thrown down a death-star. I don't think he'll be in the movie swinging around and diving under very slowly closing doors as much as a young female co-star.

 

[tsumake]

If it’s anything like Solo, she’ll be an annoying supporting character who spouts woke aphorisms that are out of place, but should be easy to ignore. Or not.

 

[INC]

Going off on the alien tangent over the metaphysical/spirit realms, really was a disappointment. It just seemed too corny and out of place.

Agreed, there was talks of a haunted house indy film for years

 

[Space Runaway]

No more Indiana Jones movies, please.

 

[Ironbunny]

I mean it cant be worse than Crystal Skull riiight?

 

[TeamGizzyy]

I cannot wait until she puts that stupid man in his place. She don't need no man. /s

It's going to happen. You know. It know it.

 

[Fbh]

Why don't they just put this to rest and make some new IP?
No one wants Indy in his 80's and some new female lead.

Please no

Just stop

But the last one they did was so good!!!!

[EverydayBeast]

The formula just works now it’s uncharted.

 

[kunonabi]

Ford is too old, Williams completely phoned it in on the sequel trilogy, and Bridge is always awful so this is an easy pass despite Mangold being involved.

 

[Sybrix]

Logan was a pretty good movie. This could be good too.

Indy 5 needs to have a Logan vibe to be any good

If it’s even close to how Indy 4 was then it’s fucked

He sure has a habit of crashing things, light aircraft and even a fridge.

Still survives though!

No wonder he's bored. Couldn't even be killed by Boba Fett and Jabba whilst blind.

Such an iconic scene, but for all the wrong reasons. There's a scene in an Outriders sidequest that references it

I literally walked out at that point.

Also John Williams 'aint a pull anymore. Tired, old, washed up, kind of like that guy up there /\

 

[Mahadev]

lol no thanks

 

[Reality Czar]

The aliens were such a bad choice in the last one. Indy's best macguffins are religious relics. The Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant we understand Indy is a towering legendary hero if he can deal with artifacts this powerful.

Sankara Stones were made up bs, but they worked on the same principle. You saw how they brought the village back to life. And Indy proved himself worthy of the tests, and knew which stone was correct.

The crystal skull is just... what is it? It doesn't' belong to any Earth culture. It isn't even human, and archeology is the study of human history. They go to some vague generic CGI South American temples and pretend they came from there. Sorry. Not buying it.

The Holy Grail once held the blood of Jesus, who was brought back from the dead, and it is used to bring Indy's father back from the dead. Indy has to pass multiple tests to even get there, proving himself an instrument of God. We see an ancient still living Arthurian Knight, proving the grail's power is real.

With a crystal skull you are just like, yeah, here it is, oh, look out! Now it's magnetic! Oh wow, Indy can't be hypnotized by a magnetic crystal skull. That's... cool...

 

[eastcoastkody]

the first like 15 mins of crystal skull was good. then it nosedived and never recovered.

Ford is 20 years older than Sean Connery was in Last Crusade

"I don't want a female lead because I'm afraid of SJW propaganda"

Yea he nuked that career from orbit. You don’t piss off Spielberg.

 

[Aggelos]

Oh snap, another Indiana Jones... I'm in shock about all this.

 

[LaughingStock]

It was too much watching an old and fragile Indiana in the last movie. Now he's even older and will probably be a sidekick to a strong female woman who needs no man.
Not going to watch it anyway. I hope it flops.

Hey, there is enough of an interest to make another one. Spielberg is direc-....
...

James Mangold is directing it. So if it fails, we can all blame Mangold. Brilliant.

 

[Arkam]

After the Crystal Skull they have a lot of nerve doing another. One would think Ford knows better... but at this point in his career it’s just another paycheck I suppose. Zero interest in this.

 

[Durien]

Every time I see this scene, I laugh my ass off.

I think Ford is doing this because he likes making Indiana Jones movies. He wouldn't do this if he didn't like the story. I'm very excited about this and the upcoming game.

Indiana Jones and the Quest for Depends

That is honestly what I'm waiting for at this point. I do expect to be disappointed by the reboot.

Did they really mix the movies

"In Diana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Balls"

and

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skulls"?

 

[xrnzaaas]

You may hate Kingdom of the Crystal Skull now, but you'll soon regret that Mutt wasn't promoted to become Indy's replacement.

 

[Banjo64]

nvm lol

 

[MadAnon]

Is there really such a desperate audience who wants to watch an 80 year old Indiana Jones going on an adventure? Just retire these god damn roles already. It's not enough that we need to see 70+ year old Rambo going berserk or Arny playing a retirement home Terminator. Just let it go.

If you really are serious about Indiana Jones then do a full blown reboot with a new actor ffs.

 

[Ferdinandthecowfish]

Is there really such a desperate audience who wants to watch an 80 year old Indiana Jones going on an adventure?

Yes, if it were written like the original three movies.

Knowing that Harrison Ford is pushing 80 and Stallone and Arnold are in their 70s really makes me feel old. I remember my parents taking me out of school early one day when I was in 1st grade to go watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I cant see it being a good movie.
Harrison Ford is too old and that chick is not Indiana Jones.

 

[jason10mm]

I have a bad feeling that this film is gonna have a "Back to the Future" format where old indy has to go back to the 20's to save young indy through Bridge as his spunky proto-feminist proxy. She has a good look for a 20s-30's moll, just not sure she would be willing to be the traditional damsel in distress.

Maybe she is the predatory treasure hunter professor that seduces and corrupts young indy and pushes him down the path he was on in RotLA (banging students, stealing from other cultures) until old indy puts the kernel of hope in him.

All while they dig up Atlantis, of course.

 

[Reality Czar]

Harrison Ford is too old

When he was in Crystal Skull he was 5 years older than Sean Connery was during The Last Crusade. And that was 13 years ago!
