Director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford will make a fifth “Indiana Jones” film, to screen July 19, 2019, Disney announced Tuesday.
The release from the studio describes “a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series,” adding: “Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.”
Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn called the Jones character “one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history,” adding, “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

In Married, they introduced a child actor in season 7. The kid was supposedly from one of Peggy's hick relatives. He was named Seven, because they stopped naming the kids after so many.
It was horrible. They "killed" him off after a while due to negative response, and they did so by just having him disappear.
From Wiki: "Seven (Shane Sweet) Peggy's cousins (played by Bobcat Goldthwait and Linda Blair) drop off their six-year-old son and leave him behind for the Bundys to take care of. His parents explain that his name comes from the fact that they had "one, two, three, four, five, seven kids." He appeared on the seventh season of Married... with Children in a handful of episodes, then disappeared without any explanation other than a quick mention by the D'Arcys, who claim that he has turned up in their house and will not leave. They consider renaming him, and possibly begin taking care of him, but that's the last time he is mentioned by another character. He was an extremely unpopular character with the fans. The only other allusions to Seven in the series include a Season 8 episode where Kelly, cramming for a quiz-show appearance, forgets about Seven (among other things) once her brain is full. The final reference is a scene where a carton of milk is held up at the Bundys' breakfast table and a picture of Seven is shown on the carton under the heading "Missing," but the Bundys do not seem to notice, or care. This moment was ranked 73rd in TV Guide and TV Land's The 100 Most Unexpected TV Moments."
Honestly, even ignoring how advanced in age Harrison Ford is right now, especially when playing as Indiana Jones (so I’m not even going to bother guessing at the title since I know it’s going to be loaded with ribs at his age), I’m more concerned with what they’ll come up with as a plot.
If they do the 60’s and 70’s as a time frame, I fear that Spielberg and Ford will uncharacteristically side with the likes of the Vietcong/NVA and fight Americans to try and find whatever macguffin is in the movie. We all know they are big lefties (in fact, Ford’s so far to the left that his fellow Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill comes across as conservative by comparison especially regarding gun rights. At least Hamill believes in the right to own a musket, which is better than no guns at all). They narrowly dodged a bullet in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by showing the Soviets as bad guys, which is definitely a good thing (though that being said, compared to the Nazis in the first and third films, the Soviets’ horrors and threat level in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was actually severely downplayed, especially when even there, they managed to treat McCarthyism in a negative light). Considering Spielberg and Lucas most likely loves the Vietcong, I don’t think they’d have ANY restraint against depicting them in a good light.
