When making an Indiana Jones movie, you need Harrison Ford. John Williams. And, of course, make sure the character has a really cool relic to go after. In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, that relic is called the Antikythera, a real ancient dial.

“There’s always been a unique way that the MacGuffin, or ‘relic’ in the context of anRaiders of the Lost Ark

, it’s not just the Ark of the Covenant, but it’s also the idea Indy’s a scientist and he doesn’t believe in that kind of stuff. He doesn’t believe in that kind of magic. It’s hokum to him. But, in the end of the movie, he’s confronted by the magisterial power of God itself. So that is a character beat, not just a spectacle beat.

To say exactly what the film’s dial does with time is a bit too spoilery, but Mangold did discuss why he felt time was so important to making. “The movie had to be about something that made it relevant now and relevant to this character now,” Mangold said. “And of course, it had to be fun, had to be an adventure, had to have hijinks and comedy, but it had to be about something, as the other ones were. And what struck me is it had to be about time: my hero is old. There’s no denying it.
