According to our sources, Mads Mikkelsen will be playing the villain in this new installment of Indiana Jones. His character is described to us as a Nazi scientist enlisted into NASA by the United States government to work on the space agency’s moon landing initiative.
Shaunette Renee Wilson will be playing Mads Mikkelsen’s villain’s CIA handler responsible for “babysitting” the Nazi scientist turned NASA recruit. There will also be a female villain, “an evil and brutal killer” who will work with Mads Mikkelsen’s character. According to our sources, Scarlett Johansson actually passed on this role previously.
Mads Mikkelsen’s character’s description not only reveals that he will be the villain of Indiana Jones 5, but when the franchise’s next installment will be taking place.
The next Indiana Jones adventure would logically be set during the 1960s space race. NASA’s Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, so it wouldn’t be a shock for the film to be set later in the 1960s, especially since the fourth Indiana Jones film was set in 1957. And in classic Indiana Jones fashion it looks like our hat wearing, whip wielding, archeologist will have another chance to punch some Nazis, with Mikkelsen’s villain being a former scientist for Hitler’s Reich.

Aw man - is it gonna really commit the GREATEST sin of the TLJ? Are they really gonna just make the central theme of the movie "Hey, your childhood heroes all ended up miserable husks just waiting to die as they aged..."
There was a lot about TLJ that sucked. But that was the absolute worst part - everyone that 'won' in the movies you loved, pretty much lost from that point forward. [Reply]

Not surprising. Indy is getting the "Luke Skywalker Treatment", and there is a Mary Sue waiting in the wings to replace the sad, broken-down old guy. [Reply]
I loved that scene, personally. It doesn't remotely make the film "unwatchable." You're talking like it was Attack of the Clones bad, and even that was watchable. [Reply]

I'd watch AOTC twice before sitting through Crystal Skull again. [Reply]
