We've been waiting on confirmation for this for some time and now it's official!
Disney and Lucasfilm announced Tuesday a fifth "Indiana Jones" movie is in the works.
Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford will reunite for the movie, set for a July 19, 2019 release.
The movie has no title yet, but Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and husband Frank Marshall will produce the next film in the saga.
A fifth "Indiana Jones" movie shouldn't come as a shock to fans.
Spielberg, Kennedy, and Ford have all been hinting at another film for some time. It was just a matter of when not if it was coming.
Kathleen Kennedy previously told Vanity Fair another "Indiana Jones" movie would be made "one day." Spielberg told Yahoo! Movies during press for "Bridge of Spies" he would "probably do an Indy 5 with Harrison."
“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios, in a press statement. “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”
The previous four films in the franchise have grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide.
