Veteran actor Harrison Ford is returning to the iconic franchise, Indiana Jones. The actor will be reprising the role in Indiana Jones 5 that will be directed by Steven Spielberg.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed to BBC News on Sunday (February 1) stating, "We’re working away, getting the script where we want it to be and then we’ll be ready to go."

“Harrison Ford will be involved, yeah. It’s not a reboot; it’s a continuation. He can't wait," she further said.
