We need and George Lucas back in the Indiana Jones franchise Steven Spielberg I think we trust you more better than James marengold but I don't know what the fans think now that you left

Steven faz mais 3 filmes jurássico Park. O primeiro em 1993 Eu chorei muito tinha 7 anos. Passei o filme inteiro chorando com medo. Faz filme bem assustador, coloca algo a mais no filme.

Good, but why?

Funny idea: if Harrison Ford plays his actual age (which, assuming 'Indiana Jones 5' comes out sometime next year, will be 78), and the character of Indiana Jones was born in 1899 (as his online bio states), then the year in which the movie is set would have to be... 1977! 🤓

DisneyStudios Spielberg is as much Indiana Jones as Ford. Don’t destroy another franchise. Let it go or get Spielberg back and get the hell out of his way. He didn’t just back out for a fresh voice this close to production.

Golly gee, first predator HarveyWeinstein finally gets busted. Then suddenly BobIger steps down as CEO of Disney. Now StevenSpielberg steps down as director of Indiana Jones 5. Very interesting...🤔🧐

No point doing it if he’s not directing it...!

Let the movie go. Let Indian Jones remain cool. OR, bring in Shia to take over since that was teased in the last film.

Don’t fuck it up

Why do we need an Indiana Jones 5?

Like HarrisonFordLA too old. Give it a rest

His last great movie was 20 years ago: Minority Report. Spielberg is So Overrated!

So he's only making 'high art' films now? (Read: crap)

Then who cares about the fifth Indiana Jones film? Just cancel the project and leave it alone. No one wants this.

👍

3rd was marginal, 4th was a complete flop and now they want to do a 5th.

Cool... but hand the reigns to Patty Jenkins instead.

Probably going into hiding after he found out his daughter’s doing porn

Maybe Spielberg sitting out Indy 5 is for the best. He usually knows what he's doing. James Mangold is himself a fantastic director with an eye for struggling characters and imaginative action scenes.

How to explain to mom that it’s ok, I’m 38, I don’t need Xmas presents anymore? Now do that to Spielberg

🤧🤧🤧🤧why

He's going to be working on his daughter's new film?

Is George Lucas being replaced too? Because that would be good.

Good. Judging by the last movie this seems like a good idea. So long as nobody is swinging through the forest on vines w monkeys I’ll be happy.

James is quite talented person, no doubt about it. But this is ur job, Steven. Your fan, we all want to see ur world.

Is he focusing on his daughters porn career now?

It's absolutely wrong decision, Steven. Only your eyes can create Indiana Jones story. Stay cool, hero!

Yeah, but maybe not this guy 🤦🏻‍♂️ Stick to what we know and love; adventure, comedy and good ol’ story telling. Not the latest PC, over use of green screen, climate change, electric cars, 5G, Smart this and that, gender fluidity and... oops, I’ve sent myself to sleep.

I am ok with this.

That's disappointing. One of the main reasons indiana jones is so great is because of spielbergs direction.

Does Indiana Jones find himself somehow on the moon looking for a big mountain of cheese. What else could happen, he finds jimmy Hoffa's grave, prevents JFK assassination, his real dad Richard Nixon?...what.!!!

There was a 4th?

Mangold is a great choice! Please let this happen. I love Spielberg but come on, he shouldn’t have let KOTCS turn out as it did. The Spielberg of this current age is not right for Indy anymore. Mangold can definitely make a film the character deserves.

If Mangold can do something like what he did with Logan then I'll be perfectly fine with this :)

Why are they bothering with a 5th one After that crystal skull s*it what’s gonna be in this one predator hunting down ru Paul in Antarctica and indie having to save her while simultaneously Shia le bouf wrestles with the army of monkeys from the last one

Aixx ara sí que el món s'acaba... unIndi sense el Spielberg no és IndianaJones

Spielberg wants someone else to direct the movie. Cool.

Nooooo!!! Not having Spielberg directing Indy is like George Lucas selling Star Wars to, lets say, Disney and...oh crap! Never mind. 😞

It's a very, very solid choice.

He got his clone to do it

Enough already, retire the franchise. Its going to be dire.

Number 4 was trash.

Why

What

I thought he’d already started filming it though? 🤨

Some film making is just about getting people a job.

IDEA 💡: no one should direct it because no one needs this movie.

Harrison killing off Indi. I’m calling it now.

What if Steven Spielberg’s heart isn’t in it anymore? Maybe we should have asked that in 1991 with Hook? Does this have anything to do with Bob Iger leaving? Is the pressure mounting with the porno daughter, who clearly was a prop to begin with? I hope that family can heal.

johncampea still think Speilberg ans Kennedy are on good terms?

No!

Spielberg needs to make that DC Black Hawk film!!

Psuedo Spielberg.

JJ Abrams should direct it lol

Please keep him how he is, please let his mantle pass to someone worthy to be his successor

Can they also cast new actor with Harrison Ford

Good he isn’t doing this. Spielberg maybe wants to be present to help his daughter through whatever it is she is putting herself through.

Like Coppola passing on another Godfather.

I know the title for the next film “Indiana Jones and the Dead Men Tell No Tales”

R Kelly's a huge fan of Mangold movies, for real

Just as long as there's more glass aliens, more fake Russians, more atomic refrigerators, more computer monkeys and gophers, and especially more Shia LaBeouf. Lots more. All the LaBeouf, in fact.

robertliefeld OH. NOW...it's gonna be....SO, good. Lmao.

Is he gonna hand over his daughter too?

right well thats a NO from me then. No.

Mangold is a stellar choice.

Is this film even needed?

latasrinivasan No.........just reboot the franchise with Chris Pine

Oh...The guy who did 'Ford vs Ferrari'? Do go on. Mister Mangold, I await your entry. I mean this with the utmost respect (as it was a good flick) and the best of luck going forward. Mister Spielberg, wise choice. He's likely to do it justice.

Fuck these remakes

Certainly part of the Disney austerity program.

Working Title: 'Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Nursing Home.'

:(((noooo

Big game hunters are not cool

Maybe now that Shia is back in the game they can finally follow through on setting him up as the successor? If you really wanna keep going I guess it’s time to truly start something new instead of milking nostalgia 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh come on!

An Indiana Jones movie without Steven Spielberg is unnecessary. By the way... Hollywood, stop with all these sequels, remakes, reboots, please!

The crystal skull didn’t do well.... Harrison is long in the tooth...

De-age technology such as in the Irish man.

Oh HELL no!!

Denzel Washington as Indiana Jones or we riot

Yes please, he’s such a talented director

Can we call this one 4 and pretend that crystal skull never happened?

If James wants it, that's fantastic. One of the best directors in past 15 years. Maybe someday, we can get a StarWars film from him cuz he would have made a masterful BobaFett film. He is my pick for a future episode of TheMandalorian & a CadBane film. Guy can do no wrong

Spielberg is a legend, but this is great news.

I would love to send a copy of my book to either one ir BOTH of them☺😉

The crystal skull was so bad I really don’t want them to do another.

Thank fucking god. I love you, Steven... but Indy 4 was an abomination.

NOBODY should direct Indiana Jones 5! Just do a decent reboot

Why

Nooooooooooo !!!!

Spielberg is rubbish now so good. Plus his friends are starting to get locked up.

why dont you just reboot it

Indiana Jones and Depends of the left lane campers.

Mangold is an amazing choice. I'm expecting the best Indy since 'Raiders'.

We can't that guy to direct the 5th feature, he doesn't have the things that we all know; The great shots, better directing, great music by John Williams, and the mystery piece.

RealHughJackman as Indy the 3rd

Who cares?

This actually makes me... MORE excited

they shoulda got vince gilligan

Oh God this opens up a Pandora's box. Please for the love of God don't let this be yet another franchise for Jar Jar Abrams and Alex Klutzman (among others) to have an opportunity to destroy.

Sad. Another good series murdered to bring it to an end.

Good choice. Mangold is at the top of his game. Spielberg makes better non-franchise films these days. Munich, Minority Report, Catch Me If You Can, War Horse

I've got a better idea. End Indiana Jones forever.

Who cares, the God damn Chinese death plague is coming for us all!!!!

😮

Indiana Jones and the Replacement Hip.

So, Indy 5 is going to be trash

OMG THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!!!

What? Indiana Jones 5? Seriously? Why?

How about canceling it and rebooting in 20 years?

Temple of Doom was the worst, I can only imagine how many good nerds we lost jumping out of an airplane thinking an inflatable raft would gently lower them down, such a loss of revenue for comic stores nationwide

'Indiana Jones and the Sex Change of Terror'

Steven 1 was great, but 2,3 n 4...opioid addiction ?

最悪だ・・・

Mangold's the blandest of the bland. Maybe they should drop it for now.

No one wants this movie

I can't watch Indiana Jones without Steven Spielberg even though I love Harrison Ford

No need to go on with this anymore...

I expected that

Indiana Jones 3 was the best and should've completed the story with that.

You can’t make a Indiana Jones move without Steven Spielberg he is amazing and has changed the filmmaking industry

Disappointing like when Michael Jackson told his brothers to leave the stage at the Motown Awards

Let a young director direct it

Indiana Jones is Lucas + Spielberg + Ford! When Lucas sold his company to disney was clear the end of Indy as we’re used to think! It’not necessary to do a reboot but I hope they’ll do lime 007 and recast someone else! Maybe it will work or maybe not..

They better get a move on it.

Indiana Jones and The Search for More Money

Indiana Jones and the Cane of Arthritis? Hard Pass.

Great choice of director. 🔥

An Indiana Jones movie isn’t really an Indiana Jones movie if it doesn’t have Steven Spielberg or Harrison Ford

Should anyone direct an Indiana Jones 5?

Yo Spielberg, remember me?

Steven Spielberg hasn’t made a good movie in 10 years. Lets not forget he destroyed the franchise w crystal skull.

'It took 12 years, but I finally admit that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was an absolute shit-show...' - Spielberg, hopefully...

Sorry James, but no Spielberg no Indy

At least bring back the main characters from Indy4. DO NOT force it WITH IDENTITY POLITICS! AND NO WOKE BS! Remember the fans come FIRST.

Of course. Spielberg only works with and promotes Jewish directors. He would never give this to goyum (black, Latino or white) Spielberg is as ethnocentric and racist as Benjamin Netanyahu robreiner JuddApatow AnnCoulter ava Joy_Villa RealCandaceO seanhannity EvaLongoria

Are you telling us that Kathleen Kennedy can't keep her former boss from leaving a Disney era Lucasfilm?

From one White Jew to the next white Jew. What a great story 👏🏼

I honestly think this is great news (if your ok with an Indy 5 movie to begin with). I feel like part of the reason for this movie being delayed is Spielberg's apprehension. Maybe now things will push forward and we'll get a slightly gritty tone which is what this film needs.

No Lucas or Spielberg? A hard pass. Sigh. At least we have the original 3! Indiana Jones 4 does not exist in this dojo.

Which means it's gonna be a number of prequels which is good but which in turn has potential to be another Goonies movie depending on how far back they want to go and how many prequels they want to make. I'm guessing at least 3.... IndianaJones5

Not interested in any Indy movie without Spielberg or Ford.

Spielberg The greatest director since the mid seventies .... Spielberg indy5

A real shame. No George, no Steven...hell recast Indy and start over then. Sorry I'm all for a new direction but go out on a high with the original crew! Pfff!

Or we could just completely do without another one🤷🏼‍♂️ ffs🤦🏼‍♂️

You know why... 🤫

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Gutted

Si la prod est suivie par la même Team que starwars ce sera sans moi... surtout que lucas devait le faire avec Spielberg au départ. S'il arrêté c mauvais signe... jj abrams 😂

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Franchise

No offense to Mangold... Just kinda makes me sad.

I really hope the script is based on “The Fate of Atlantis”...

Because wearing the same glasses and goatee is how you secretly get passed the baton.

no biggie I wont watch it. I hate when they drag these out like this

Soooo.... why not George Lucas

this is okay 👍🏼

😢

Don't make it. The last movie sucked and Harrison Ford is like 90 years old and couldn't care less.

Steve moving on to direct his daughter.

shouldnt hand it to anyone , just drop it

Yeah no thanks number 4 sucked.. they should have left it at Last Crusade

Last one was awful, just stop

Mal asunto

Well lock me in a fridge and hit me with a nuclear blast

SpyderDan1985

Bob Iger out and Spielberg jumps ship fast

Mangold is a top tier director and it doesn't get much better than him so that's good news.

He is 73.

BittrScrptReadr Awful idea. Indy isn't Indy without Spielberg in the director's chair even if a talented dude like Mangold takes the helm. Not interested.

Who really cares - This Franchise is spent. Harrison Ford is 78, it's not the same as in the 80's when these movies were good. Yeah that's over 30 years ago IndianaJones

Then don’t make it. Easy.

So you’re saying 5 might actually be better than 4?

So, no burning Nazis obsession? Spielberg just loved to burn them in these movies

O God! That means it will be woke garbage. Death to another franchise.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! 😡 Disney is hurting creators (StevenSpielberg included) FOR THE LAST TIME! They really want to ignore people like Spielberg, because they won't tolerate what he even wants! Well! If it's war Disney wants, then war they shall have! 😡 Sorry for the rage.

Weak

Hearing that Spielberg is not directing Indy 5 makes me sad. 🥺 I’ll still see it, but it just won’t be the same. 😒 disappointed Indy5

So, will it be called Indiana Jones and the Hex of the Hydra? I will 'Observe' this movie when it comes out. 😉

StevenSpielberg is giving away a movie because he is going away for being a Pedo ? Pedos must Go ...

Reminder of two things: 1.) They’re supposed to be filming in “two months” according to Ford. 2.) Mangold was supposed to direct a Boba Fett film. Then they cancelled it. Why would he choose to work with Lucasfilm film now?

Now why would someone hand a trillion dollar movie franchise to a guy who has yet to make a movie that turned even a modest profit? Oh, that's right... it's because they both wear funny little hats.

Just keep George Lucas away. That god awful Crystal Skull almost ruined Indy.

Ford V Ferrari and Logan are incredible movies. I LOVE this choice.

Fine....but no aliens this time, ok?

What Harrison Ford will look like by the time Indiana Jones 5 comes out

Indiana Jones 4 was a pile of shit. If 5 is going to be similar maybe it just shouldn't be made.

No.

George Lucas doesn't get a say?

Because he will be in prison . This is one of the most horrible humans ? Alive. Weinstein x 100.

Thank god, it wasn't Disney

Boo...

I think it's the best thing to happen to Indiana Jones since Short Round , great partnerships are hard to come by,

Looks like we have even more reason to espect him to be killed off.

So based on his history, this basically means Hugh Jackman will be the new Indiana Jones... Can’t we just let a franchise be finished? Is that still an option? Just let it be great and finished... Do we have to reboot everything ever made?

Hey, at least it's not JJ Abrams

Mangold ! Now I'm paying attention to Indy 5

Can we please get new ideas instead of sequels and reboots?

The worst news.

He's not stupid. We don't need anymore of these movies.

It should start off with Indy waking up in bed, turning to Marion, shaking her awake, and saying, 'Honey, I had the weirdest dream we had a son who was an asshole, & we fought commies for the head of an alien, & there was something about a fridge...'

It's never going to happen 🤣

I love James Mangold as a director. IndianaJones

4th film was shit, this will also be a dog turd.

Oh, praise the lord. Hopefully now we can get away from Spielberg's daddy issues which were on display in 2, 3, and 4 and only worked in 3.

J. A. Bayona would be a good option too. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom had a bad script, but a good director.

I'm old enough to remember when Indiana Jones 5 was just a joke in a John Mulaney bit.

El bueno de Spielberg esta haciendo musicales ahora. Dejaros de quintas partes...

Nobody wants this movie to be made

Here comes JJ

How about make something new

Would have been nice to have Spielberg do this but getting Mangold is not too shabby.

As long as Spielberg is producing the film it will OK. Ford Vs Ferrari was an excellent movie and I am sure James Mangold will do a fine job.

They waited too long. Harrison Ford is old. The last one was a stinker compared to the previous anyways.

DON'T MAKE THIS MOVIE!!! Last Crusade ended it perfectly.

Just let the saga die in dignity and do something new for a change

Mangold better do the Bob Dylan biopic before Indiana Jones 5 then or I might fight.

Good because he’s doing a terrible job with it

Oh no don’t piss me off even more now! nospielbergnoindy

But we don't need another Indy

pinata1138 Indiana Jones and the Search for the Last Dollar.

ItsJimmyHowlett بیا ببین چه خبره.

I blame the porno daughter for this.

Arthur_H1 ...👀

Great. Now cast this guy as Harrison Ford

If this means no shitty Kaminski cinematography, then this is great news!

Maybe Mangold can suggest Christian Bale for a role.

This is random but I like to throw it out whenever the opportunity arises - could someone get Spielberg interested in reviving the Napoleon film into which Kubrick poured so much effort? Could be spectacular

Because Steven Spielberg a diddler.

Mangold needs to bring Shia LaBeouf’s character Mutt back

He is probably spending more time directing his daughters new flicks like Indiana Bones and the Temple of Poon.

Great news!! mang0ld is a brilliant filmmaker : be awesome to see his take on this classic character, but it’s a shame that it won’t have Spielberg touch and magic. But this could be the perfect person to pass it on

robertliefeld WAIT WHAT?!

Yeah, that's not a good idea.

Perfect choice if we can't have Spielberg

Don’t do this. Leave it alone. Please.

What's the fucking point then?

harrison ford v. ferarri

TeetMe

No no no noooooo

Upgrade

James Mangold is great... but we all want Spielberg

Fuck beans ☹️

Uh i kinda thought this was his thing

They're totally going the Logan way with Indy 5, aren't they?

Please... just don't make this movie.

Interesting. Now go ahead and Bond this by recasting Indy. We've seen old man Indy. He lost the magic.

75 yr old Indy lmao HARD PASD

If they let mang0ld co-write it and use his team, this could be really, really good

What!!!!!! Steven S has to direct IJ5.

ScottWamplerBMD won't be happy

EriktheMovieman If there HAS to be one then Mangold is a great pick

Harrison Ford is 90 years old!!!

You mean...PRACTICAL EFFECTS?! HE IS BACK ! (Will George Lucas be involved? I don't know if want him back or not)

no one should direct it because it should not exist

James Mangold is a great choice to take over for Steven Spielberg

what

Wait... Indiana Jones 4 never happened, so there can't be an Indiana Jones 5. 🤷‍♂️
