Deadline are reporting that Antonio Banderas is joining Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones 5 in an unspecifed role, currently filming here in the UK under director James Mangold. What his role in the film will be is unclear, but the addition of the Oscar-nominated actor will add even more talent to the production, which is currently shooting in Glasgow ahead of a 29th July 2022 release.
EXCLUSIVE: Antonio Banderas is Harrison Ford’s newest co-star in the anticipated next installment in the Indiana Jones franchise. The Oscar-nominated Banderas has closed a deal to join the film to star alongside Ford, who returns as our favorite archaeologist, and an all-star ensemble that includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook and Shaunette Renée Wilson. For Banderas, the film marks another major franchise for the international star.
James Mangold is taking over directing reins from Steven Spielberg, who still is serving as a producer and is very much involved in various elements of the film. Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel join Spielberg as producers. John Williams, who has worked on every score in the 40-year-old franchise including its iconic theme, also will return as composer. Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth and Mangold co-wrote the script.
