It's been a while since we had any solid updates on the fifth Indiana Jones movie, but Disney/Lucasfilm has just announced a major casting addition.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Solo: A Star Wars Story) is set to star alongside Harrison Ford, who will reprise the role of the legendary adventurer. No details on her character were provided, but the press release would seem to suggest that she will be playing the female lead.
It's also been confirmed that John Williams will return to score the film, "continuing a musical journey which began 40 years ago with Raiders of the Lost Ark."
“I'm thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers," said the film's director James Mangold. "Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine. When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can't help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself.”
Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel will serve as producers. The still untitled Indiana Jones 5 swings into theaters July 29, 2022.
