250 million plus this movie is expected to cost what are the rumors that have fans worried and are

all right
almost from the moment Indiana Jones 5 began filming back in June 2021 when the first set
photos and concept art began coming out fans have been theorizing about what we can expect
to see in the upcoming movie from Harrison Ford being almost completely replaced by a
body double because of his age two Indiana Jones fighting Nazis on the moon Nazis from the Moon
and even a time travel story where our favorite adventure-seeking archaeologist dies and Phoebe
Waller Bridge replaces Ford as the new Indiana Jones uh uh yes yes please yes and when you
combine all of this with an overwhelming number of fans who believe lucasfilms and Kathleen Kennedy
destroyed the Star Wars Skywalker Saga trust is weary thin the early narrative among many fans
was that Disney and Kennedy would ruin Indiana Jones in much the same way and in all fairness no
one at Disney should be surprised or upset that fans feel this way considering how Legacy Star
Wars characters retreated in the final Trilogy the problem is no one told that to James Mangold
who has come out swinging at Critics on platforms such as Twitter from the beginning Mangold who was
hand-picked by Kennedy Ford and Spielberg to make this film is incredibly passionate about
what he is creating he is well aware of the Mount Rushmore of talent he is swimming with in George
Lucas and Spielberg and has been taking would-be opportunistic naysayers to the proverbial Woodshed
well well Indiana Jones what you doing in our neck of the woods he has very strong feelings
about what he perceives to be content makers intentionally cooking up false information
and then hiding behind fake sources to make money off of twisting people's emotions and while that
certainly is the case sometimes there are also times when insiders leak information to the public
and elements of the truth make it to the internet and just a special note as we move forward there
may be potential spoilers for Indiana Jones in the dial of Destiny so you've been warned one of
the elements of truth comes from a Reddit post from June 15 2021 that went up just as filming
began the post was removed by moderators who said they received a dmca takedown notice and
was forced to remove the post typically it's only copyright holders who can force material to be
taken off the internet in this post an anonymous redditor claimed that the film opens at the close
of World War II at a German castle where covert experiments are being carried out on religious
artifacts brought by their Nazi archaeologists a de-aged Harrison Ford infiltrates the facility in
an attempt to recover the artifact the artifact is a bell known as dye Glock which is rumored to have
anti-gravitational properties and may even have the potential to manipulate time itself the Bell
is loaded onto a Nazi train Indy pursues the train and fights with a formidable Nazi officer played
by mads Mickelson but the train disappears into the mountains fast forward to the late 60s the
scientists Indie fought on the train is working with NASA and the American government wants to use
diglock to advance the Space Race the post also reported that Karen Allen and John Reese Davies
would have cameos the post included a series of artist-rendered set designs that backed up some
of these claims while refuted as being authentic at the time it has now been confirmed by Empire
magazine among others that the opening sequence of the movie will be a de-aged Indiana Jones in
44 the trailer reveals World War II Germans a castle a de-aged Indy a Pursuit and an
encounter on top of a train with a Nazi officer who we see as Mickelson we also
know that John Reese Davies will be back and Karen Allen is reporting she could tell us
if she's in the movie but then she'd have to kill us which means she's in the movie nearly
everything from that original leaked post has been confirmed so when set pictures of ancient
Roman soldiers a de-aged Harrison Ford the ticker tape parade of the moon landing and the mention
of a time-altering German wonder weapon showed up it's no wonder that fans started to believe
there would be time travel in this movie even Mickelson gives away something interesting

Mickelson may have given us more than he realized during an interview with Empire
magazine he said he is playing a man who would like to correct some of the mistakes of the past
there is something that could make the world a much better place to live in he would love to
get his hands on it Indiana Jones wants to get his hands on it as well and so we have a story
doesn't that sound like they are both fighting over some sort of time-altering device in an
attempt to change the past or keep it from changing and despite mangold's attempts to
dissuade anyone from believing the false troll negatives including time travel you only have
to point to the trailer to say Well it sure the heck looks like time travel the scene in
Indiana's class seems to show some sort of UFO or device that has a striking resemblance to
dye Glock and in another shot we see what looks like a World War II cockpit and a bomber flying
into some sort of glowing swirling light not to mention those set photos of ancient Romans is it
crazy for people to think there is time travel but the biggest concern about the upcoming movie from
fans really seems to be the fear that Waller bridge will take over the mantle as the new
Indiana Jones the fear is based on a perception fans have that Disney is trying to replace Legacy
characters with female counterparts they cite the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Star Wars as
examples even though bridge is only playing indie's goddaughter and the only real evidence
of her doing something Jones like in the trailer is this scene where she is hanging out the back
window of a car during a chase scene fans can't shake the feeling that with Harrison Ford now
80 and Waller Bridge playing a huge role in the upcoming film that she's obviously going to be
taking over people claim they've seen screenings that have a young Indie sacrificing himself to
save Helena which will cause old Indy to fade away Allah Back to the Future while Jones's goddaughter
picks up his iconic hat and puts it on her head it was reported the movie will end in the words
Helena will return will be up on the screen could this be true Mangold was quick to come out and say
there have been no fan screenings and no one is taking over or replacing Indy or donning his hat
nor is he being erased through some contrivance but words from a director don't always easily
convince fans and some directors aren't always telling the truth all you have to do is go back
to JJ Abrams lying about Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness or Kevin
Smith saying Tila wasn't the main character in He-Man in the Masters of the Universe but as
fans we have to understand some misdirection from directors who don't want movies spoiled
before fans have a chance to experience the film have to be expected but while fans might be able
to let Khan's white lie go Kevin Smith's outright lie was not is Mangold telling us the truth about
over at the salty nerd podcast learned when Mangold took aim at some of their criticism
or is he trying to punch everyone in the eye so they can't see the truth that Kathleen Kennedy
has forced him to replace our beloved Indy with a female protagonist well let's look at
the evidence James Mangold is actually a pretty good director when you look at his body of work
he just makes good movies Ford vs Ferrari Logan 310 to Yuma Walk the Line and Girl Interrupted
movies across a variety of genres the man is passionate about his work and while a quick
look down Twitter Lane reveals that he likely leans to the left there is no evidence or work
that would indicate he has a woke agenda Mangold wrote the script from scratch along with jez
Butterworth who also wrote Ford vs Ferrari Edge of Tomorrow and Specter so there are no red flags
there either some people might argue that Ryan Johnson made great stuff before the Last Jedi and
until Kathleen Kennedy got her hooks into him but the truth is that Kennedy pushed Johnson to make
episode 8 his own and not worry about the fandom if Kennedy gave Mangold the same marching orders
rest assured his respect for Steven Spielberg and awareness of the Mount Rushmore of directors we
mentioned earlier will make him think twice before ruining the legacy of Indiana Jones
Spielberg has publicly said he wouldn't kill Indy and the fact that Mangold is directing has some
fans pointing out that is the reason Spielberg isn't directing that said Spielberg is still
producer and Mangold has already doubled down saying no one is taking over or replacing Indy
while possible we find it hard to believe he would boldface lie about this could he be dodging the
truth by knowing Waller bridge will continue doing more Indiana Jones Adventures as herself
and because she's not actually Indiana Jones then it wasn't really a lie we hope not because
fans will see right through this and it won't go well for mangold's reputation as for whether or
not Harrison Ford is too old to play Indie despite having an excellent body double it's reported that
Ford did a lot of stunts and the movie will feel like Indy is doing Indie things on the topic of
time travel we've gone frame by frame through the trailer and other than the weird swirly
light scene we don't see anything that indicates time travel will occur it seems more likely that
the dial of Destiny will have some time-altering ability that won't actually end up altering time
the movie will start with a de-aged Harrison Ford doing flashback stuff in 1944 while also
showing a current aged Mickelson will then move to 1969 where we have a current aged Ford with an
aged Mickelson you can see in this quick shot in the trailer that Mickelson looks much older than
his actual 57 year old self we believe the bulk of the film will take place in 1969. what about
the Roman soldiers you say well we think that will be a flashback for when they talk about the dial
of Destiny and discuss its origin we think the dial is inspired by the Antica Thera mechanism
found in the wreck of a 2000 year old vessel off the Greek island the device is a series of brass
gears and dials mounted in a case the size of a mantle clock and is believed to possibly be
the world's first mechanical computer while not confirmed a flashback of the device would
explain those out of time Romans or are they possibly Greeks and the boat that they seem to
be rowing as for the leakers themselves there are a lot of content creators who take rumors
and then spin them into theories without naming names there are several that have insisted Indy
fight Nazis on the moon young Indie old Indian Helena will fight together or Indy does nothing
and Helena is the only character involved in the action this is simply not true the best way to
check to see if you can trust someone's content is to look at their track record if they claim
everything they got wrong was retconned take that with a grain of salt as well as for the
person that got mangled to go on a Twitter tirade recently claiming they were in a screening and
that the screening was awful and everyone hated it the director did say there were no screenings but
if you're looking for truth just note that this person said Mickelson was playing the character
of tot who we remember as the character who melted during Raiders of the Lost Ark this person being
insistent that they are correct when this is clearly not true since Mickelson is playing
a different German officer named voller would put into question everything else this person
anonymously put out on the internet it seems more likely that Mangold is telling the truth in his
recent angry tweets does this mean Indiana Jones 5 is going to be a great movie not necessary early
the greatest director of all time Steven Spielberg couldn't make Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the
Crystal Skull good so a fifth movie is well done as the first three is anything but guaranteed but
there is nothing yet to be seen that says the movie will be awful either everyone deserves a
chance especially a director who's done a really solid job making movies up until this point
Indiana Jones and the dial of Destiny deserves to be judged fairly on its own Merit and against its
predecessors June 30th to call it definitively anything else before then simply wouldn't be
fair although if we could give some advice to Mangold directly it would be to take the high
road when mixing it up with fans on social media when you're worth 20 million dollars punching down
is a bad look make an incredible movie and then watch them line up to tell you how great it is
never let your mouth or your fingers do something your talent can do instead what do you think do
you think Mangold is telling the truth or is it all a ploy to control the narrative will you be
watching Indiana Jones and the dial of Destiny or have the rumors turned you off what are you
