Harrison Ford will be grabbing his whip and ramming on his hat for a fifth "Indiana Jones" movie, Disney has confirmed -- a mere 41 years after the first installment, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," was released.

Disney said in a tweet on Friday that the movie would be produced by its production arm Lucasfilm and released in July 2022, and that "Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to continue his iconic character's journey."

The entertainment giant also confirmed the news in an investor presentation, saying the movie was currently in "pre-production."

Who is that special character that everybody seems to hate?
Jar Jar Brinks? Something like that. He was in one movie only. No follow up action figures. No nothing.

I don’t care about all of that, don’t expect much of actors. I’m not thinking of hiring him for anything but to play a part in a rather mindless - but hopefully temporarily engaging - play-act.

Can he still shut up and ACT?

[BradyLS]

He ruined the sequel to the movie that cemented him as a box-office star.

***He's also a liberal DemoRat whacko environmentalist, anti-Trumper, he's anti-gun and he endorsed Biden in the presidential election***

I did not know - but have often wondered. Nuts!

[White Lives Matter]

Which one?

Most everybody on this thread is disgusted with Ford being cast, once again, at age 78, as Indiana Jones. I agree completely, not because he wasn't great in the first or subsequent sequels, but because we can't suspend our belief in reality enough to accept what b.s. hollywood special effects will show. He's old; that doesn't discount him but he'll not have the same energy or stamina he once had.

Donald Trump will be 78 in 2024. The human body and mind can only go so far. Do I know people in their 80s and 90s that are sharp as a tac? Of course. Can they take the 'pressure' and demands of high positions and be effective? No.

It's now, 2020, or never. Stop with the clinging to 2024.

Can we have some new heroes and new stories please?

But we do!

You chose poorly!!! LOL!!!

[BradyLS]

Ha! Good one! Blade Runner was the movie I was thinking of.

[Lockbar]

Give it up, old man.

[UnwashedPeasant]

I wish they could unmake movie #4.

[fr_freak]

Maybe it’s like the old original Star Trek movies where every other one was good.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - good
Temple of Doom - bad
Last Crusade - good
Crystal Skull - bad

Bah. I liked Temple of Doom better than the Last Crusade, even accounting for the awesomeness of Sean Connery's presence.

He’s no fan of his fans.

The mother of our daughter’s friend was a stewardess on his flight.
She asked him to sign a few autographs some passengers had asked her to present, and he coldly refused.

I’m a fan of the actor - no fan of the man.

"He's also a liberal DemoRat whacko environmentalist, anti-Trumper, he's anti-gun and he endorsed Biden in the presidential election."

Therefore, he will get not a dime from me because

[chrisser]

Most likely it will be Indiana Jones and the Mystery on the Diversity Express.

No thanks.

[Chaguito]

The last one stunk up the place. I’ll pass on watching another.

[funfan]

So Obama will be starring in it?

[gundog]

Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner are still alive. Maybe a “ Romancing the Stone” sequel is in the works.
