New submitter Arthur, KBE writes: Harrison Ford will be grabbing his whip and ramming on his hat for a fifth “Indiana Jones” movie, Disney has confirmed — a mere 41 years after the first installment, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” was released. Disney said in a tweet on Friday that the movie would be produced by its production arm Lucasfilm and released in July 2022, and that “Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to continue his iconic character’s journey.” The entertainment giant also confirmed the news in an investor presentation, saying the movie was currently in “pre-production.” There had been mounting speculation that a new movie was in the works. In February, Ford told Ellen DeGeneres in an appearance on her talk show that production on a new Indiana Jones movie would begin this year. “It’s going to be fun. I am excited,” he said on the show. “They’re great fun to make.” The last film from the franchise was 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which came almost 20 years after the third movie, “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” which was released in 1989.
