INDIANA JONES 5 Set Photos Seemingly Confirm That Star Harrison Ford Will Be "De-Aged"

Production on the still untitled fifth Indiana Jones movie is now underway, and with cameras rolling over the weekend on the North Yorkshire Moors (beware the moon, lads), the first set photos have found their way online.

Though star Harrison Ford himself was not on set (at least, he wasn't spotted), the photos clearly show a stunt performer wearing a young Ford mask, which obviously suggests that the legendary Star Wars actor will be "de-aged" for flashback scenes. The guy in the mask is sitting on a motorcycle, and appears to be decked out in the same Nazi disguise Indy donned in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Nazi involvement would gel with some recently leaked plot details, which claim that the movie will be set in the 1960s during the space race (Operation Paperclip?), with Dr. Jones once again coming up against his favorite foes. Mads Mikkelsen is believed to be playing the villain (shocking, we know), and his character is described as "a Nazi scientist enlisted into NASA by the United States government to work on the space agency’s moon landing initiative."

Indiana Jones 5 will also star Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Solo: A Star Wars Story), Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Shaunette Renee Wilson (Black Panther). Logan director James Mangold is taking the helm, and it's also been confirmed that John Williams will return as composer. Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel will serve as producers.

Indy 5 will whip into theaters July 29, 2022.

With the creative team behind this, I can't help but be excited!

I mean, technically speaking every Harrison Ford mask is going to be a mask of a younger Harrison Ford.

@Reeds2Much - Not really, it's a mask not a photo. You can def make older ones if you really wanted.

@Reeds2Much - But why recast Indiana Jones when he can be Harrison Ford forever with cgi? Aren't you excited for James Dean's return in his new and upcoming movie?

Didn't know they had started active production. That's frickin' awesome!

I can imagine Thomas Kretschmann playing a Nazi officer in flashbacks. So we see Kretschmann digitally aged in the 60s and his son is the character of Mads Mikkelsen.

Holy shit that actually looks like a young Ford. Is it him in makeup, or just some lookalike?

What if they pull a The Last of Us 2 and do a flashback that sets up the villains/Macguffin, flash forward to the 1960s to give us Indy and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character relationship before the villains kill Indy.

Hehehe you [frick]ers would be so pissed

@JFerguson - Sounds like a more logical set up for Black Panther 2.

If Indy goes to space to find the Holy Hand grenade I might just wait to see it on free cable. But then again Harrison Ford only does Grade A films so who knows what this will be like?

I'm still hoping Mikkelsen is antagonistic at most (or rather just someone who's means don't align with Indy's) and Kretschmann is the real villain.

Guessing this is for the opening or a flashback on how Indy met Mikkelsen's and/or Kretschmann's character.

@TyrantBossMedia - I would not be the biggest fan of that, but I can definitely see it happen

I’m kinda mixed about what’s going to happen. When they say space race and NASA I’m thinking back to the last one which gave us aliens and a flying saucer and even if this movie doesn’t have those Indiana Jones should still not have space related stuff anyway.

@tb86 - same for me. Anything space related just doesn't feel significant anymore with aliens from other dimensions. Rather just see the Monkey King
