Harrison Ford hurt himself rehearsing a fight scene in Indiana Jones 5, sources tell Deadline. The extent of his injury wasn’t immediately known, but it involves his shoulder. Director James Mangold will continue to shoot around him while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated. The filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks. Disney has set the Lucasfilm action thriller for a July 29, 2022 release date.

Production on Indiana Jones 5 got underway earlier this month in Pinewood and other U.K. locations. Ford stars alongside Mads Mikkelsen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson and Thomas Kretschmann. Logan director James Mangold is taking over directing reins from Steven Spielberg, who still is serving as producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel. John Williams, who has worked on every score in the 40-year-old franchise including its iconic theme, is also returning as composer.

I fell of a ladder into my yard about 18 months ago. Still feel the affect of that. Thankfully the soil was loose, but it still hurt my right shoulder. Was bruised for a couple of weeks. My left shoulder now hurts as well. Yep, being aged 60 definitely has its disadvantages.

I did not like the last film.

Nobody did. The reason they waited so long to try another is that one was such a dud.

Tragically, that is precisely what I am expecting

Hubris. Your mind thinks you are 40, your body is realistic.

To comply with Hollywood PC - Shaunette Renée Wilson; not sure who will play the gay person.
Like other current TV programs and movies, I think I will pass.

They had all the time in the world to come up with a good script and that was a terrible one. I could have come up with a better idea. Lots of people could have. Whatever Spielberg once had creatively he doesn’t anymore, he’s burned out and so is Lucas.

Harrison Ford Injures Shoulder Rehearsing ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Fight Scene;

Harrison Ford must be closing in on 80, if he hasn't already hit it. Why on earth would anyone think audiences want to see an old geezer in a fight scene?

[Captain Peter Blood]

I am 66 and I do.

[dynachrome]

He’s 78, same as the vegetable-in-chief.

[longfellowsmuse]

I agree, that was my favorite.

[Yo-Yo]

LOL! Thanks for that!

The 4th one had a script that was written by numerous writers over a period of years.

They were probably felt obligated to keep more of the script than they should have because each writer was paid/contributed and to retain some idea (like aliens) without compensating the original writer “appropriately” leads to union squabbles.

Right. Make it TWO old geezers in a fight scene
