Is the next Indy film the finale of three or more Hollywood mega-careers? A statement by a legendary composer suggests it could well be.
Legendary composer John Williams has confirmed that Indiana Jones 5 may very well be his last time scoring a film. Additionally, he’s added that it may also be Harrison Ford’s last starring role in movie. That would already be a major farewell in a single film, but now with Taika Waititi saying that he’s not even sure he’s making a Star Wars movie yet, it’s starting to look like Indiana Jones 5 might also be the very last outing for Kathleen Kennedy as well. If so, the final Indy might be a movie like no other with at least three huge names in the film industry calling it their swan song. Whether or not it’s a magnum opus is depending on the entire team’s execution of the archaeologist’s last big screen adventure.
At the moment I’m working on ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ which Harrison Ford — who’s quite a bit younger than I am — I think has announced will be his last film. So, I thought: If Harrison can do it, then perhaps I can, also.
— John Williams
At this time, we don’t have confirmation of that announcement. It could be that Ford made the announcement privately to other executives and Hollywood moguls. Or it could be that Williams just misremembered it. We’ll have to wait to make sure.
As for other major players like producer Steven Spielberg, we think they’ll continue right on making more movies. For some, retirement just isn’t a thing. And even though we were displeased with the way director James Mangold treated fans last year, we’re still pulling for Indiana Jones 5 to be a cinematic feat. Harrison Ford deserves such an ending.

Harrison Ford is face planted in the movie. He was injured on the set and haven’t recovered. This will test whether the technology is a success or not.
For his sake, I’m with Mr. Frazier on this one. I’m pulling for Harrison.
No matter what the outcome of the movie, Ford absolutely deserves it and has full ownership of it. Cause we never needed an Indiana Jones 5 and it only happened because Ford insisted on it happening. If it ends up being a terrible movie then all I can say is I hope Ford goes to his grave proud of how he fought hard to piss away his legacy. Both Jones and Solo.
Peach! Brother Masterman! Preach!
All these aged actors going woke for dollars deserve what they get and I’ll add Mark Hamill and Ewan McGregor to that list too. If an actor is okay destroying a White Cis Male pop icon they once portrayed for money, then may they get their Just Desserts. All Disney has done for the last five to seven years is destroy every White male character from Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar. l wish I could cancel Disney+ but it’s the only streaming service my moms who has dementia loves to watch.
Prediction, Indy 5 will be a Rise of Skywalker frankenstein movie due to the conflicting agendas during production. I am a huge Indy fan, but going to skip this unless I hear it’s got Top Gun type word of mouth. Generally holding out zero hope for it.
I mean at least Mangold is a good director so that’s the hope with this movie.
If only it would be the end of KK’s career.
I hope she gets Price’d since her contract was renewed last year.
