Mads Mikkelsen and Boyd Holbrook are featured in new images from Indiana Jones 5.
Harrison Ford recently graced the cover of Empire Magazine ahead of the release of Indiana Jones 5. Now, Empire has revealed two never-before-seen imagres from the upcoming movie, giving fans a first look at its villains, played by Mads Mikkelsen and Boyd Holbrook.
According to Empire, Indiana Jones 5 takes place in 1969 and sees the fan-favorite archaeologist facing off against Nazis during the space race. Mads Mikkelsen plays a character named Voller, who serves as the main villain, with Boyd Holbrook taking on the role of his henchman, Klaber.
The Indiana Jones images arrive a few days after the news that Disney and Lucasfilm are looking to keep the franchise alive through new projects, including a Disney Plus series. Harrison Ford has stated that the next movie is his last turn as Indy.
The Indiana Jones Disney Plus series is still in early development, but it’s being envisioned as a prequel to 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is expected to focus on a young version of Abner Ravenwood, the father of Karen Allen’s Marion Ravenwood.
If a television series ends up moving forward, the Indiana Jones franchise would be returning to the small screen for the first time since the 1990s. Indy was previously the face of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on ABC, as well as four television specials from the Family Channel, the network that is now known as Freeform. Harrison Ford made an apppearance in one episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which also starred Sean Patrick Flanery, Corey Carrier and George Hall, with the four actors playing the titular hero across various stages of his life.
In addition to Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones 5 also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson and Toby Jones. James Mangold co-wrote the script alongside Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth.
