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.

BTW, rumor is if Kennedy gets her Star Wars project The Acolyte she'll cast a trans actor/actress actor/actress as one of the protagonists( most likely Ellen/Eliot Page) [Reply]
In 'Indiana Jones 5,' Harrison Ford returns with big 'Temple of Doom' energy

But within a climax that is deliciously bonkers in premise and action, Harrison charts a course of healing. On the surface, this is the story of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. But in truth, it's about our hero rediscovering his heart.
Overall, Mangold makes an Indy adventure that is lovingly stuffed with outrageous action sequences featuring Nazi-plagued trains, teeny cars, snapping eels, high-flying planes, and much, much more. The script sizzles with the kind of biting banter and bravado-polished bon mots that have made these movies quotable for nearly fifty years.
The cast — including a superbly sinister Mikkelsen and a delightfully jaunty Antonio Banderas — is stupendous, giddily getting into the swing, accepting Ford as their straight man and true north. All of this makes for a good, fun movie.
What makes a great movie is Ford himself, who not only brings the fire that's long enchanted us, but also the ache that has always made his heroes so much more than cool. He makes them magnificently human.
the only embarrassing thing is that the rest of you ruined what is clearly going to be a very good movie for yourselves, based only off the reviews of some fucking snobs at cannes
sucks to be you
i will walk out of that theater flowing tears of joy [Reply]
