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.
Sounds like it suffers from all the same issues as all these Disney movies when it comes to undermining, emasculating, and pushing aside the main character in favor of an unlikable character. Major spoilers but not every last detail or anything.

Is this shot before or after his annoying god-daughter shoves him out of the way to save the day?
GURL POWER!!
And for the record, none of these sins are a problem if it's just Karen !@#$ing Allen flexing some muscles and the story is less about passing the torch and more about finishing a story arc.
Mutt didn't doom Crystal Skull - a whole slew of other things did. But trying to foist a replacement on audiences in the midst of a GOOD movie would've made audiences cringe. Doing so in a bad one...well, we saw how that went.
I suspect this is gonna be roughly similar. And you'll be in here Last Jedi-ing it up just like the LAST time you tried to defend this dreck. [Reply]
