Does... Anyone know what the plot of this movie will be? The only thing that I can figure out is that it takes place circa 1972, and that's just based on the age of Harrison Ford.

Edit: It just struck me, that's less than ten years from when Raiders was released in the real world. What are the odds of this movie having a scene where Lucas and Spielberg show up and buy the rights to make the Indiana Jones biopic?

I've heard it involves time travel and social movements (but, of course!).
And some "female replacement / heir of Indiana" or something like that.

That is fascinating. The movie will be set in a period when Ford, Lucas and Spielberg were taking their first steps in the world of movie making.

I've only seen reports of 60s, nothing about the 70s.

Me too. And that most of the movie will be in WWII era environments with a de-aged Ford.

That could've been a great bit, fifteen years ago or so. Now? I just don't think it would hit the same

I'm not sure we ever got anything official about the time period. Actually we still don't know a thing about the plot or anything else, only fans speculation.
But yeah, if I have to guess, I think we won't see Indy in the 70s. Late 60s are more likely, unless there's a scene at the end of the movie with an even older Indy with a stick and a eyepatch, fingers crossed.

[Andrew NDB]

The likelihood is that Harrison will be playing "a little" younger than he actually is. Not much, but a little. Like, it'll be 5 years after Crystal Skull and not 14 years.

[ProphetofGanja]

So what will the McGuffin be this time around? The Indiana Jones movies have typically featured a paranormal/supernatural artifact of some kind (usually with a religious bent), but the last one featured "extraterrestrials" (it was possibly implied that they actually came from a different dimension as well as/or instead of outer space? IDK I can't remember).

What would be a period-appropriate artifact or sum for Jones and crew to track down and keep out of the wrong hands?

[Andrew NDB]

So Banderas plays a friend of Indy's and the movie is going for the feel of the first two Indiana Jones movies:

What's wrong with "The Last Crusade", I wonder? Too sentimental?

I guess? "The family adventures of the Jones family" that sort of continued into Crystal Skull, maybe.

[Leo656]

I mean, something in the vein of "Raiders" is fine with me, but I really don't care much for "Temple" and never have. To me that's the real "black sheep" of the franchise. I generally ignore that one entirely.

[Andrew NDB]

If Raiders was like "A New Hope" and Last Crusade was like "Return of the Jedi," Temple of Doom was like... "Solo," or something.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I love the Indiana movies, and that is why I am NOT going to watch this.

[Andrew NDB]

It would have been fun to see a Spielberg take on Indiana Jones devoid of George, in a way. Shame. On the plus side, Mangold has just enough "fu** off" clout after Logan that I think he won't be messed with too much.

Yeah, that's my least fave of the original trilogy.

Is anyone unironically excited for this, by the way? Do people really wanna see 80 year old Harrison Ford swinging around, and using a whip?

[Leo656]

I make it a rule to never look forward to or be excited about anything.

More people should do the same, if they knew what was good for them.

I confess, part of me takes some sick pleasure in watching other people constantly get excited for things, and then inevitably be let down by them. At some point it's like, "C'mon. You know better. Don't do this to yourself. 'Hope' is a very pretty word for 'Delusion', and subconsciously, you people KNOW this." But they can't ACCEPT it.

Meanwhile, you'll almost never hear me say "I'm disappointed". Because I fully recognize that most things are truly awful, and only expect all future things to be so as well. The happy side being, if ever they're NOT that, I get to be pleasantly surprised.

...But that almost never happens.

I'm not excited about this or anything else, because 99.9% of things suck now.

But I find the notion of being excited for this specific thing to be weird. Harrison Ford is practically in a nursing home now. I can't fathom why anyone would want to see the man running around in the Indiana Jones get-up aside from misplaced nostalgia.
