Empire Magazine has released the first official photo of the fifth “Indiana Jones” film along with two variations of covers for their feature story on the film.
The photo and one of the covers show off Harrison Ford back as Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr. back in his iconic garb, while the other is artwork depicting the character in what is 1960s New York City.
In the cover story, Ford says of the film:
“It’s full of adventure, full of laughs, full of real emotion. And it’s complex, and it’s sneaky. The shooting of it was tough and long and arduous, but I’m very happy with the film that we have.”
For director James Mangold, Ford’s age was key to the story:
“It became really important to me to figure out how to make this a movie about a hero at sunset. The issues I brought up about Indy’s age were not things I thought were being addressed in the material being developed at the time.
There were ‘old’ jokes, but the material itself wasn’t about it. To me, whatever your greatest liability, you should fly straight towards that. If you try to pretend it’s not there, you end up getting slings and arrows the whole way.”
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Shaunette Renée Wilson, and Boyd Holbrook co-star in the film, which opens next Summer.
