“I thought I was the only one who knew how to make these movies!” Spielberg saw Indiana Jones 5

Fifteen years after the Royal Skull (2008) – which, by the way, did not meet with unanimous approval – Indiana Jones, still played by Harrison Ford, is going to return in a new epic.

A new film called Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will have its world premiere on May 18 at the Cannes Film Festival: a prestigious showcase for the prestigious franchise signed by Steven Spielberg.

“I just had this experience two nights ago– said Spielberg. “Bob Iger hosted a screening for many Disney executives, and I went to the screening with James Mangold, the director. Everyone liked the movie. It’s a really good Indiana Jones movie. I’m really proud of what Jim has done. When the lights came on, I just stood up, turned to the band and said, “Damn! I thought I was the only one who knew how to do that!’“

In Dial of DestinySet in the late 1960s, cinema’s most iconic professor-adventurer reunites with his godmother Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) as he comes face-to-face with a Nazi conspiracy and a raging US-Russian space race. . In the casting we can also find Mads Mikkelsen in the role of the film’s big villain, a former Nazi recruited by NASA who has evil projects to carry out, but also Antonio Banderas, who plays a friend from Indiana, and John Rhys-Davies, who reprises the iconic role of Salah.
