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.
Disney started off killing Star Wars, but they've been more hit than miss overall. Sure, VII-IX were absolutely horrible, but Rogue One and Solo were great/good, and the various series have been decent/good/great.
While I'm sure it pains Darth Mickey, he has been forced to give us all better non-woke material of late. [Reply]

Your opinion is your own, and you're welcome to it. I'm sure many here agree with you. But, overall, most people don't agree with your take, and almost all, if not all, the numbers show that. [Reply]

Mandalorian kind of stumbled this past season, but overall it's been very entertaining. Andor was fantastic. Book of Boba Fett was great when it wasn't dealing with Boba Fett. And I look forward to whatever they're going to do with Ahsoka.
Kennedy has clearly had her fangs pulled. The new stuff is good.
And I don't really give a fuck what the numbers say. I'm enjoying it now. [Reply]

Here, Mangold and cinematographer Phedon Papamichael nail the look. Dial of Destiny more closely resembles the aesthetic of the first three films than Crystal Skull did in terms of color and jet-setting vistas.
If the sets in Crystal Skull looked like sound stages, Dial of Destiny seems to have shot on location in Morocco, Germany, Sicily, and the like. The look and feel gives the movie a higher degree of verisimilitude and lets the audience invest in a deeper level of realism.
#IndianaJones and the Dial of Destiny is phenomenal sendoff to one of the greatest characters in cinematic history. @mang0ld and company find a way to create a satisfying conclusion in one of Indy’s grandest adventures, all while showing love for the franchises roots. pic.twitter.com/GTuXGxmLzy

#IndianaJones gets a proper send off in #DialOfDestiny a fun, entertaining, nostalgic package which both old fans and newcomers will enjoy! Seeing Harrison Ford as Indy again is awesome, but bittersweet. The action is phenomenal, and it really just feels like classic Indy. pic.twitter.com/8Y7enlIwud
Apparently Williams absolutely nailed the score, too.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is old school fun. It’s silly and cooky in the best way. The score is phenomenal. I was drooling for the production design. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, you absolute icon. I damn sure wish my dad was still around to see this. #IndianaJonespic.twitter.com/64YTK1BhpD

Looks like most of the positive reviews are coming from people who weren't yet born when The Last Crusade was released. "Modern audiences" as the Critical Drinker would say. [Reply]

18 of the last 30 reviews are positive. That score is only going to get better.
The audience is going to love it.
Because of certain realities involving possible repercussions and the like, Mouse House movies tend to get overrated, not underrated, when the reviews don't match the product. But you do you, and time will tell the tale. [Reply]

The ones I refer to in this video have been circulating for quite a while and were completely untrue. I’m not here challenging anyone who got leaked info that may have been accurate, especially more recent info.
I was just noting that a lot of the early stuff that I’ve seen and heard people claim for several months will be in the movie is absolutely not accurate.
