The Disney D23 Convention held a huge surprise for attendees: the first images of Indiana Jones 5. Harrison Ford, who plays the legendary hero, was upset during the panel and confirmed it was over for him.
While the Disney/Marvel Games conference was generally washed up, attendees at the D23 event were better served. You could see a preview of the Indiana Jones 5 teaser.
The first concept art of Indiana Jones 5
Disney proudly displayed Indiana Jones related materials in the aisles of D23. Thanks to @laughing_place, we have the very first images of the film (visible in our gallery). First, we have two sets of concept art that set the scene. On the one hand there is a visit to a lively city in the middle of the night, reminiscent of the lost treasure, and a chase in a tuk-tuck – driven by Indy – in a small alley. On the other side the adventurer exploring a tomb.
Then three costumes are presented, including a jumpsuit with a raincoat and a black hat. A getup that a Nazi could, and usually will, wear. Harrison Ford was actually meant to face a Nazi scientist played by Mads Mikkelsen (Riders of Justice, Death Stranding…). A way to forget about the much criticized Indiana Jones 4? But there would be multiple timelines including a main timeline that would take place in the 60’s during the special conquest.
James Mangold (Logan, The Man 66) is directing, but apparently Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are on guard. The music is still signed by the incredible John Williams, who logically will retire after this last big project.
And the trailer? It was a D23 Expo exclusive and is not available online.
Harrison Ford turns the pages
To help people remember this introduction to Indiana Jones 5, Harrison Ford went out to send a quick message. This fifth opus symbolizes the 80-year-old actor’s final turn in the role.
Indiana Jones movies are full of mystery and adventure, but they’re also full of heart. We have a real human adventure to tell, and it’s a movie that will kick your butt. It is finished. I will never fall in love with you again.
It has to be said that Harrison Ford was seriously injured on the set a few months ago, which temporarily halted production.
Another highlight for fans: the reunion of Harrison and Ke Huy Quan 38 years later. The Half Moon actor who wrote « I love you Indian Indiana Jones and Half Moon are reunited after 38 years ».
Indiana Jones 5 is slated to hit theaters on June 30, 2023.
