Following the first trailer two months ago, Disney and Lucasfilm has unveiled the Super Bowl spot for the highly anticipated “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”.
Set in 1969 New York, the film will somehow tie in with Operation Paperclip (Nazi scientists given amnesty by the U.S. Government in exchange for their scientific knowledge) and the space race against the Soviet Union.
American archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is now mostly retired but is uneasy over the aforementioned arrangement. Meanwhile, Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) – a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved with the moon-landing program, wishes to make the world into a better place as he sees fit.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge co-stars as Indiana Jones’ goddaughter, Helena, who accompanies him on his journey this time. Also starring are Antonio Banderas as an old friend of Indy’s, John Rhys-Davies reprising his role of Sallah, Boyd Holbrook as some kind of villain, along with Shaunette Renee Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, and Toby Jones.
Steven Spielberg co-wrote the script for the new entry, which is being directed by James Mangold and will mark 80-year-old Harrison Ford’s final outing as the famed archaeology professor and adventurer.
“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is slated to hit cinemas on June 30th 2023 and will precede a spinoff series also in the works for the Disney+ service.
