Production on the still untitled fifth Indiana Jones movie is now underway, and with cameras rolling over the weekend on the North Yorkshire Moors (beware the moon, lads), the first set photos have found their way online.
Though star Harrison Ford himself was not on set (at least, he wasn't spotted), the photos clearly show a stunt performer wearing a young Ford mask, which obviously suggests that the legendary Star Wars actor will be "de-aged" for flashback scenes. The guy in the mask is sitting on a motorcycle, and appears to be decked out in the same Nazi disguise Indy donned in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The Nazi involvement would gel with some recently leaked plot details, which claim that the movie will be set in the 1960s during the space race (Operation Paperclip?), with Dr. Jones once again coming up against his favorite foes. Mads Mikkelsen is believed to be playing the villain (shocking, we know), and his character is described as "a Nazi scientist enlisted into NASA by the United States government to work on the space agency’s moon landing initiative."
Indiana Jones 5 will also star Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Solo: A Star Wars Story), Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Shaunette Renee Wilson (Black Panther). Logan director James Mangold is taking the helm, and it's also been confirmed that John Williams will return as composer. Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel will serve as producers.
Indy 5 will whip into theaters July 29, 2022.
