It’s an open question as to whether we’ll ever see an Indiana Jones 5. But one ray of hope we have is that Steven Spielberg isn’t ruling it out.
Talking to Yahoo! Movies about Tom Hanks’ role in Bridge of Spies and how he tends to cast the same actors again and again, Spielberg jumped right to what is currently the only man who can justify a fedora:
“We’ve gotta figure this out because now, Tom is tied with Harrison Ford: Harrison and I did four movies, Tom and I have done four movies,” Spielberg explained. “Now I’ll probably do an Indy 5 with Harrison, [so] it’ll be five for Harrison, four for Tom.”
Yeah, it’s a joke, but it’s telling that he immediately goes to Indiana Jones 5 instead of some presidential biopic or whatever Spielberg’s been doing to occupy his time until he makes Ready Player One. We know something Indy is happening; Disney has confirmed it. But whether it was a sequel or a reboot was an open question, and probably still is. Either way, though, we know Disney wants Spielberg involved, and it sounds like if there’s going to be a fifth Indiana Jones, it’s going to be a sequel.
