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.
Clay is right, Indy fans should be thrilled about this movie. Mangold doesn't miss. There isn't going to be any of the goofy shit from Crystal Skull. [Reply]

His last 3 movies as a director have been solid though.
I think, for me, it doesn't matter who the director is. The source material is as tired as old ass Harrison Ford is.
De-aging is fine is you are doing flashbacks to progress a story. I don't care to watch what will amount to a digitized Harrison Ford for 2 hours. The trailer looks like a god damned CGI/green screen abomination. [Reply]

its both
the movie opens with young indy fighting nazis on that train, and i think a young version of mads mikkelson's character is involved
hence why old indy apparently knows him and doesn't trust him 30 years later in the space program
these are not spoilers because i am avoiding them like the plague, but that is my take on the trailer and limited synopsis they have released officially [Reply]

Critical Drinker was saying Indie goes back in time, interacts with himself from the past and thus blinks himself out of existence, thereby opening the door for his new, better and smarter female replacement.
Like a craps player on a heater, give me a PASS on this one oh my. [Reply]
One more time. No one is "taking over" or replacing Indy or donning his hat nor is he being "erased" thru some contrivance— and he never was, not not in any cut or script — but trolls will troll — that's how they get their clicks. 1/
