Even before issues plagued its set, “Indiana Jones 5” was stuck in development limbo for years. As early as 2008, rumors began swirling around the possible development of a fifth movie in the popular “Indiana Jones” series (via Screen Rant). In 2016, Disney announced that it would be making a fifth installment in the series, with Harrison Ford returning as the titular character and Steven Spielberg as the director, due to be released in 2019. After the film was passed around by numerous writers and its release date was pushed back to 2021, Spielberg added insult to injury in 2020 by stepping down as the film’s director, though he’s still a producer, per Screen Rant. James Mangold is now the director of “Indiana Jones 5.”
In its early days of shooting, the production of the film was postponed and set to premiere on July 29, 2022, due to the ongoing travel restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, just last month, Disney announced that further complications had caused the release of the film to be pushed back to the summer of 2023, according to the New York Post. This setback occurred when 79-year-old Ford was injured on the set of the film in June. “In the course of rehearsing for a fight scene, Harrison Ford sustained an injury involving his shoulder,” a Disney spokesperson said, according to Metro News. The most recent event that occurred on the set could set back the production of “Indiana Jones 5” yet again.
