James Mangold is taking over the directing duties from Steven Spielberg, who helmed the first four Indiana Jones movies. Spielberg will serve as a producer on the project with Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel.
The movie will mark Ford’s return to the role of legendary professor of archaeologyĀ for the fifth time.
The screen icon first played the part in Spielberg-directed Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981. He reprised his role in three more movies: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008.
Plot details for Indiana Jones 5 haven’t been revealed yet and it’s unclear what character Mikkelsen will be playing in the movie.
Veteran music composer John Williams, who worked on all the previous films in the franchise, will be scoring the music for the new movie as well.
