Harrison Ford: goodbye artist!

At a time when everyone wants to retire at a reasonable age, there are some that we would never want to take place… However, at 80, the eternal archaeologist-adventurer Indiana Jones now wants to hang up! No more mysterious investigations and fights for him, Harrison Ford announced this Wednesday, April 26, 2023 at Total Movie that he will no longer play this legendary hero. However, we have known this since the beginning of this same month, since the presentation of the trailer at CinemaCon of Las Vegas, that the fifth part of the saga will be presented in world preview at the 76e Cannes film festival, on May 18. The opportunity for this great meeting of the 7e Art to pay tribute to this great actor also famous for his role as Han Solo in the blockbusters Star Wars. What we know today is that after the short extract available fromIndiana Jones 5 –a breathless pursuit in the streets of Tangier in Morocco-, the actor preferred to take his final bow.

An “aging grave robber”!

“The dial of destiny”, official title of this last chapter, will indeed be the last film where he will appear under his cult hat: “These films are full of adventure, of heart. It’s the last movie, and it’s the last time I play the character.”, he told our American colleagues. And if the actor is aware that Disney and Lucasfilm are looking to set up a series project based on the universe ofIndianaJones, the latter specified that he will not be part of it! After 40 years of good and loyal service, some will understand… In this new film, actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, playing the goddaughter of Indiana Jones, does not hesitate to shake up the archaeologist by calling him a “aging grave robber” ! No, Harrison Ford decided it, after him the deluge! Because when, a few months ago, the rumor ran about the resumption of his role by Chris Pratt, the star was very firm on the fact that his character would retire at the same time as him: “This is the last film in the franchise (…) I expect this to be the last time Indiana Jones appears in a film.” That’s clear… See you one last time with the icon on June 28 for the national theatrical release!
