Indiana Jones 5 Is ‘Continuation’ Of Crystal Skull Story



After reprising Han Solo in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Harrison Ford is preparing to return to his other classic character for Lucasfilm: Indiana Jones. Walt Disney Pictures recently announced that the currently untitled Indiana Jones 5 will hit theaters in July 2019, with Steven Spielberg once again calling the shots from the director’s chair. The filmmaker’s longtime collaborator David Koepp will pen the script.

Since Lucasfilm was so successful at relaunching the galaxy far, far away, there are many curious to see if they’ll be able to restore the archeologist to his former glory – and what (if any) strategies that made Star Wars 7 a massive critical and commercial hit will be carried over to this property. It will be interesting to see how Indy 5 is handled, particularly since Ford will have celebrated his 77th birthday by the time the movie premieres. For their part, the studio is confident in their leading man and are looking to make the project a proper sequel that picks up where viewers last left off.

While at CinemaCon (hat tip Variety), franchise producer Frank Marshall reiterated that Ford will not be recast as Indiana Jones, believing that the character is so iconic, only one actor can play him. This stance eliminates any chance of Indy 5 being a prequel of sorts, with Ford merely bookending an adventure headlined by a younger thespian in the role. As fans theorize about what could happen, that was one possibility discussed, but Marshall revealed in his interview that the latest installment will be a “continuation” of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull story.

 they might be saying "continuation" as in its still cannon and will be aknowledged but wont be a full continuation as such much like crystal skull was a continuation but it only made a few mentions to the other 3 films rather than actually continuing any story elements other than his relationship with the woman from the first film.

for example if they are planning on having indy still in that relationship in this film then the events of crystal skull still happened even if thats all they carry over but its still a continuation.

I just hope they don't screw this one up. The 4th one had elements of an Indy film, but just seemed really off. The CGI was rubbish also. the whole movie looked like it was filmed in front of green screens (like the star wars prequels).

They need to make him more vulnerable ,like in the first 3 movies. In Crystal Skull they turned him into some sort of superhero. Still excited to see this come together. After the Force Awakens (and possibly Rogue One) i have faith in Disney/Lucas Films.
