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.
Wasn't this your reaction at the beginning to Crystal Skull? I don't know what you thought of it, but myself I though it was a HUGE disappointment...there were some fun moments, but largely forgettable and easily the worst one in the series.
I hope they can redeem it with this iteration...but I'm not holding my breath... [Reply]
The chances of me watching this film are next to fucking nil. Crystal Skull was absolute fucking garbage and I'm pretty well over Harrison Ford too. I don't need a fucking octogenarian Indiana Jones in my life. [Reply]
How old is Jones supposed to be? Ford was born in '42 and the movie was released in '81. So say Jones was 39 in 1944. Ford is 80 now. So is Jones 80 years old now and does the movie take place in the mid 1980's? [Reply]
There was a somewhat popular theme in post WW2 Sci-Fi involving Nazis on the Moon, by the way. It sounds goofy now but our Nazis did help us get there. [Reply]
"The decision, in some ways, was really easy. I have wanted to do an Indiana Jones game for a long time, and we’ve never had the right fit of partner and idea to make that happen."
(and there is a movie next year)

Ur remains were excavated by British archeologist Leonard Woolley until 1934. The new Indy game will take place in 1937. Will Woolley help Indy in his next adventure? pic.twitter.com/7c9GwrTJg9
I know you can't read much from the Indiana Jones game teaser but but I'm going to anyway. Indy seems to be heading to Rome in 1937 according to the ticket, typewriter and map of the Vatican. Which would place the game after Ark & Temple but before Crusade. pic.twitter.com/KLVMQbzPSl
