Don’t hold your breath waiting for a trailer for James Mangold’s Indiana Jones 5.

Indiana Jones 5 is currently deep into production in the United Kingdom. Steven Spielberg has bowed out of the directorial chair and Logan director James Mangold has assumed the role. It’s unknown what treasure Harrison Ford’s archaeologist will be running after, though it has been confirmed that the film is set in the 1960s, specifically in the space-race years. As for what else is happening on Indy’s latest adventure? That’s up to speculators.

Many were under the impression that Disney would release the first trailer for Indiana Jones 5 this weekend to coincide with the release of Jungle Cruise. It’s not as far-fetched as you think considering the latest Disney theme-park-turned-film is another throwback adventure film filled with mystical artifacts and German villains. Well, it turns out that there’s no trailer release this weekend for Indy’s latest adventure, and there likely won’t be one for a while according to James Mangold.

When a fan asked the Indiana Jones 5 director if a trailer would be dropping this weekend, Mangold replied on Twitter with a resounding no. At the time of this writing, the Harrison Ford project is set to hit cinemas in less than a year – 364 days to be exact – meaning Mangold and the crew at Lucasfilm have tons of time to edit a trailer. Who knows, we might even see something as early as this December?

Directed by James Mangold, Indiana Jones 5 stars Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson, and Toby Jones.

Here is the synopsis for the previous film in the franchise, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: 

STEVEN SPIELBERG and GEORGE LUCAS bring you the greatest adventurer of all time in “a nonstop thrill ride” (Richard Corliss, TIME) that’s packed with “sensational, awe-inspiring spectacles” (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES). Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull finds Indy (Harrison Ford) trying to outrace a brilliant and beautiful agent (Cate Blanchett) for the mystical, all-powerful crystal skull of Akator. Teaming up with a rebellious young biker (Shia LaBeouf) and his spirited original love Marion (Karen Allen), Indy takes you on an action-packed adventure in the exciting tradition of the classic Indiana Jones movies!

Indiana Jones 5 is currently scheduled to be released in theaters on July 29, 2022. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for all the latest news on Lucasfilm’s upcoming projects, and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more video content in the future!
