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.

I would've been a fan of Rachel Weisz but it would be hard to separate her from her The Mummy role. But we've seen her in this TYPE of role.
He makes a really good point, though - making him just a grumpy old man being boxed out by this person that's 40+ years younger than him is going to make it all the more grating.
Oh, and also correct - who the hell convinced anyone that Phoebe Waller-Bridge can carry a major tentpole? An action/adventure movie at that? [Reply]
I think Last Jedi sucks personally, but a lot of that has to do with how JJ Abrams established Luke, Han, and Leia. I don't really know why you're so obsessed with RT scores, though. That metric has long since lost any sort of value, at least to me.
Oh yeah, the lightspeed battering ram sort of kind of breaks all continuity. Fantastic eye candy though, probably the coolest shot of the entire sequel trilogy. [Reply]

I thus left Dial of Destiny vaguely satisfied that this presumably final entry at least didn’t do anything to truly pervert the character’s legacy.

Hiring Phoebe Waller Bridge to continue your iconic IP is like deciding Adolph Hitler is the right guy to fix the problem in your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department. [Reply]
