Next Indiana Jones Movie To Reboot The Series

Ever since Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney, there has been plenty of new Star Wars development but now we are learning about what is going on with Indiana Jones as Disney CEO Bob Iger spoke with the Hollywood Reporter.

And it looks like we will be getting a reboot of some kind and will have more movies coming after the new movie, which is directed by Steven Spielberg will be hitting cinemas in July 2019.

You have another Lucasfilm property, Indiana Jones, and Steven Spielberg has agreed to make a fifth film. Will there be an Indiana Jones universe, eventually, like Star Wars?

Not like Star Wars, no. But we hope … right now, we’re focused on a reboot, or a continuum and then a reboot of some sort.

Reboot? You’ve got Harrison Ford for this movie, and then the presumption is there will be a younger …

Well, we’ll bring him back, then we have to figure out what comes next. That’s what I mean. It’s not really a reboot, it’s a boot — a reboot. I don’t know.

THR has been using the term “requel” for these sequels that reboot the franchise.

Requel. (Laughs.) We [got] Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the film. But then what’s the direction? I’ve had discussions about what the direction is, [but] I don’t want to get into it.

But you do see making more films?

Yes, I do. I don’t think it reaches the scale of the universe of Star Wars, but I see making more. It won’t be just a one-off.
