With Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still fresh in the minds of Indiana Jones fans, the drive for the fifth film of the franchise was on with star Harrison Ford. Producer Frank Marshall, who's been there since its beginning in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, announced via Twitter that production's wrapped on the film. While the star's getting long in the tooth to front the action franchise, Ford suffered a shoulder injury on set in June 2021. Following the 2008 sequel, the fifth film shifted creatively, with James Mangold taking over directing duties from Steven Spielberg, who did the previous four films.
