Disney has pushed back the release date of Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones 5 to summer 2022.
Roughly four years after Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the company announced that a fifth Indiana Jones film was being developed with Harrison Ford reprising the titular role. However, the project has experienced some setbacks since then as the filmmakers have tried to perfect the script for Indy’s latest adventure.
Originally scheduled to be released in 2019, the untitled fifth Indiana Jones film was eventually pushed to summer 2021 and now Disney has once again delayed the project. Today, Disney announced release dates for multiple projects and Harrison’s Ford fifth outing as Indy has been pushed back a year to July 29, 2022.
