This July, not solely will Indiana Jones and the Dial of Future be taking part in in a theater close to you, Harrison Ford will flip 81 years previous. Suffice to say, when the actor who introduced Indy, Han Solo, and Jack Ryan to life says that is his final time with the hat and fedora, we consider him.
However Indiana Jones is means too well-liked of a model to let it simply finish, proper? Effectively, when posed that query by Complete Movie, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy admitted that she is aware of there’s an expectation of one thing coming sooner or later, however that the corporate hasn’t begun planning it.
“We’re in a tradition now the place I feel that [future projects are] an expectation from the viewers,” Kennedy mentioned. “They suppose, ‘Oh, that’s what’s going to occur subsequent.’ Proper now, we’re all simply very centered on simply permitting this to have its second and its time and be full.”
“And if we go on and do animation, or we feature on with Brief Spherical—which actually with Ke Huy Quan being so well-liked now coming off of The whole lot [Everywhere All at Once]—and Phoebe [Waller-Bridge], what a beautiful actress she is,” Kennedy continued. “So I’d by no means sit right here and say, ‘By no means say by no means.’ However it’s not one thing that we’re within the midst of growing in the intervening time.”
So the takeaway right here is there are not any plans at this second, however one thing might occur sooner or later. Which is smart. Nonetheless, what we discover most intriguing about this quote is that Kennedy does acknowledge rumors of Indiana Jones transferring to animation, and that she no less than has heard about or contemplated a Brief Spherical venture. Whether or not or not both occur, or one thing with Waller-Bridge’s Helena Shaw—which might be probably the most direct concept popping out of the brand new film—we’ll see. However, for now, Dial of Future is closing not simply the chapter on Harrison Ford’s function, however the character model.
