“And Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors of all time. And my composer is John Williams, one of the greatest composers of all time. It’s been an honor and a pleasure to collaborate with you on this. That reminds me the other wonderful addition to this cast, who is the phenomenal Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I was surrounded by great talent and support and goodwill and advice. I was living out a fantasy I had, wondering what it would feel like to do a d ‘these images and honoring in my own mind what these films are to you and to me, trying to get that back for next year.’
The trailer for “Indiana Jones 5” was wonderful, showing a lot of great moments: Mads Mikkelsen as a Nazi, Indy riding a horse through the New York subway, a chase that takes place in a Manhattan ribbon parade, and Sallah ( performed once again, by John Rhys-Davies).

I won’t fall for you again. But thank you very much. Thanks to Mangold for picking up the pieces and making a spectacular, spectacular film “.
For her part, Waller-Bridge said: “I had the time of my life making this film. I feel incredibly lucky and keeping up with this guy is exhausting. These films also mean a lot to me and Jim, you’ve protected and brought back everything people want and need from these movies. I can’t wait for you to see it!”
