After the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2012, the "House of Mouse" has found great success with the Star Wars franchise. Disney is poised to continue that success by bringing back another beloved Lucasfilm franchise, Indiana Jones.
Although there have been some rumors and whispers about the next film over the years, some concrete news came in the form of Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones) officially signing on to direct Indy 5 in 2016. Another welcome bit of news, was that Harrison Ford will come back to don the iconic fedora once more.
With the release of Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One due this year, the famed director's next slate of films is Indiana Jones 5 and the West Side Story remake. Spielberg is hoping to start filming Indy 5 in 2019, which is currently looking at a summer release date in 2020.
No specific plot details have been revealed for Indiana Jones 5, but it has been confirmed that Shia LaBeouf will not reprise his role as Mutt Williams.
