In his first interview since Disney announced last week that he will be playing Indiana Jones for a fifth time, Harrison Ford said he was very excited to play one of his most famous roles once again.
Ford was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 21. He couldn’t reveal anything about the plot, admitting that the only piece of paper he’s seen so far that he’s liked is the contract. Still, the legendary actor is really happy to play a role so iconic once again and he’s relishing the chance to work with Steven Spielberg again.
“It’s great fun to play this character,” he said. “It’s great fun to work with Steven. I’m looking forward to it.”
Disney said last week that Spielberg and Ford will be back to make Indiana Jones 5, which opens on July 19, 2019. David Koepp, who worked on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was hired to write the script.
