According to Variety in 2014, in an article penned by Peter Caranicas, deputy editor at the Hollywood trade magazine, he recaps some of the projects Janusz Kaminski worked as a cinematographer on. Then he caps the paragraph with the following line, "His next project is the upcoming fifth Indiana Jones movie." Kaminski is a long time collaborator for Steven Spielberg as his cinematographer.

Indiana Jones 5 rumors have been swirling around for several years but this was the first mention about the project's future.

"I'm very, very excited about it... I rewatched Raiders of the Lost Ark the other day, it is so well-done and so charming, and it's such great storytelling.

I'm in a lucky position where they let me read the script before, and yes, it was everything I wished it to be, so that was just great." - Mads Mikkelsen, 05/05/2021 (interview for Adam Chitwood, Collider).

"If Nazis are back, I'm back. But that's not necessarily the theme of the new Indiana Jones script. We're working on a script, and I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg again, and revisit that character in a different story, at a different age." -Harrison Ford, 9/22/17.

Outside of the "Indiana Jones" films, Harrison Ford is famous for playing Han Solo in the "Star Wars" saga. In Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), Phoebe Waller-Bridge plays Lando Calrissian's droid L3-37, who is eventually integrated into and becomes the "brain" of Han's starship, the Millennium Falcon.

James Mangold confirmed on Twitter that Phoebe Waller Bridge will not replace Indiana Jones at the end of the movie. Quote: "No one will ever replace Indiana Jones. Not in any script. Not in any cut. Never discussed."

Harrison Ford will be 80 at the time of this film's release, making him the oldest person to play the lead in a Disney film. The previous record holder was Richard Farnsworth, who was 79 at the time of The Straight Story (1999)'s release.

The first Indiana Jones movie to not feature an opening with the Paramount logo transition.

John Rhys-Davies third time to play Sallah. The only other role he has played three times was Gimli in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In that film, he worked with Cate Blanchett, who appeared in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He also worked with Viggo Mortensen and Bernard Hill, whose roles were previously played by Indiana Jones cast members John Hurt and Philip Stone.

Even if it's mostly set in the sixties, some sources of information claim that there's going to be a flashback that lets Indiana Jones fight Nazis on a train. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was set in 1938, so the flashback could be set between 1939-1945.

Will be the first film in the series not to be distributed by Paramount Pictures as Disney had purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, which owns and produces the series. Disney subsequently purchased the distribution and marketing rights to the series from Paramount in 2013. Paramount however, still retains distribution rights to the first four films and will receive financial participation from any future installments.
