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.
Rename it Grandpa Jones 5 he really looks old. Needs to do like Sean Connery and Gene Hackman when they get too old just fade away. Oh and pull his pilot's license before he kills someone. He was a great one but it's kinda over for the action flicks. [Reply]

Harrison Ford in his carpenter days. When Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas saw Star Wars she exclaimed, "That's my pot dealer!" And now we know why the Millennium Falcon had so many false compartments. pic.twitter.com/ALDFjVE3Dj
I re-watched the first three movies over the last few days. A lot more comedy content than I remembered. Most of it worked but I wouldn't complain if it had been dialed back a bit.
Still not a big fan of Temple of Doom. There are just way too many scenes of Willie screaming. As Indy said “The biggest trouble with her is the noise.” The movie would have been a lot better if they had brought Karen Allen back.
I never realized that the guy who plays the huge Nazi mechanic who gets killed by the propeller in Raiders of the Lost Ark had multiple roles in the franchise. He also played the big Sherpa at the beginning of Raiders as well as the Indian dude who gets steamrolled in Temple of Doom, and a Gestapo agent in part 3. [Reply]
In response to some of the more violent sequences in the film (Doom), and with similar complaints about Gremlins, Spielberg suggested that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) alter its rating system, which it did within two months of the film's release, creating a new PG-13 rating.
My boys and I love the franchise, I’m watching Skull right now with my 8 year old. I hadn’t seen it until a few weeks ago and I liked it. The “Nazi” angle worked in Ark obv but seemed cartoonish in Crusades, a bit like Inglorious Bastards.
Btw when I walked out of Bastards I said to my brother “I didn’t know that’s how Hitler died”. An old couple in front of me looked back like I was an idiot [Reply]
