Keeping in tradition with the previous films in the series, the new film will open with an exciting sequence showcasing Indiana’s physical resiliency, which includes de-aging Ford a few decades as opposed to enlisting another performer to play a younger version of the explorer. Director James Mangold previously offered hints at the major themes and setting of Dial of Destiny.
“I mean, 1969 is the beginning of now, really, in terms of technology and the space race,” the director detailed to Entertainment Weekly. “So, you have Cold Wars, nuclear power, intrigue, the lack of clear good guys and bad guys. In the same way, you have to be really considerate about how you try and transpose a fairly simplistic kind of black-hat, white-hat sensibility into a period that is more complicated. We try to exploit that by jumping forward into 1969 to a hero who is used to a black and white world, [but finds himself] in a world that has gone gray.”
Stay tuned for details onย Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny before the movie lands in theaters on June 30th.
