Though the Indiana Jones series has been one of Spielberg’s most successful film franchises, he announced earlier this year that he won’t return for an upcoming fifth installment.
Harrison Ford will return to play the eponymous archeologist and adventurer, but Ford V Ferrari and Logan director James Mangold is expected to fill the director’s chair.
