Hollywood mega-star, Harrison Ford says he’s always wanted to make a final Indiana Jones movie. However, wasn't there one already?
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is set to release in cinemas this year and it looks to be the final movie for the charismatic archaeologist. Yet, many fans on social media have been stating that another movie isn't needed. Especially following the monstrosity that was The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. However, perhaps why that is exactly why Ford wants to do another ‘final’ entry.
India Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released back in 2008 and it was intended to be the final Indy movie. While Kingdom of the Crystal Skull received average to decent scores from critics on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, the same sentiment wasn’t shared by the community.
As a childhood fan of Indiana Jones, to be honest, I try to forget that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was ever a thing. However, it seems that Harrison Ford wants to give Indy the proper send-off that the character deserves.

When talking to Variety, Ford revealed that he’ll be donning the Fedora and whipping pistols from the enemy once more stating: “It’s the last time for me.”
I think it’s fair to say that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny isn't the movie that many had asked for. However, perhaps for fans, and especially Harrison Ford, it’s the conclusion to Indy’s story that we need.
In related news, back in January 2021, Bethesda announced a new Indiana Jones game and it will be an Xbox exclusive, developed by Wolfenstein studio, MachineGames. At this time, no further details or a release date have been shared.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is set to release in cinemas on June 30th, 2023.
