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.
:-) He does get a bit obvious with his agenda at times, but yeah, he's pretty entertaining to listen to, especially when it's ripping something apart. [Reply]

New rumors suggest that they'll sell Lucasfilm back to George due to billions lost from shutting down Star Wars cruises and very little cashflow coming from Disney World. [Reply]

I don't know why Lucas would want any part of that hot mess at this point. [Reply]
#IndianaJones AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY delighted me. I remain a devout LAST CRUSADE girl, but this one is fun and crazy with nonstop action and some genuine surprises and a neat story. Do you like Indiana Jones? You’ll like this one.
I really dug #IndianaJones and the Dial of Destiny! A far better and more impactful finale than Crystal Skull. Harrison Ford still effortlessly embodies this character. Takes some wild swings some will likely hate, but I did not.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny made me feel like I was 9 years old again. Just a fun, nostalgic, action packed blast. As good as the first 3? God no. A film that feels wholly in the language of those with some whole new twists? Hell yes. pic.twitter.com/puYbnmFRF8
Okay so I just saw INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY and I had a GREAT time. The plot is in-****ing-sane and I was into all of it. I just spent two hours laughing and clapping.

Lucas was always weird, but early on his weird ideas were tempered by others, primarily Gary Kurtz. Later on, when he became obscenely rich and all powerful, well, that's when you started to see things go to hell. Depending on who you believe, Lucas either whacked Kurtz after Empire or Kurtz just threw up his hands and said enough. I assume the former is probably the truth.
The last movie he oversaw that was worth a shit was ROTJ, and even with that you had the stupid teddy bears killing storm troopers, which was a horrible harbinger of things to come. I'll never forget the lost, hopeless look on producer Rick McCallum's face while he was watching outtakes from Phantom Menace, silently and powerlessly listening to Lucas drone on about how cool all his bad decisions were. Poor bastard looked like he wanted to cry.
The massive awfulness of the final trilogy doesn't excuse the somewhat less awfulness of I-III. [Reply]
