Disney [announced](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/spielberg-and-ford-reunite-as-indiana-jones-returns-to-theaters-july-19-2019/ "undefined") Tuesday that Ford will reunite with director Steven Spielberg for a fifth _Indiana Jones_ movie to be released on July 19, 2019. The announcement comes after Ford’s return to the _Star Wars_ franchise helped _The Force Awakens_, break [just about every record](http://time.com/4171394/star-wars-force-awakens-records/ "undefined") at the box office—and made Ford the [highest-grossing actor](http://time.com/4174086/harrison-ford-highest-grossing-actor-star-wars-the-force-awakens/ "undefined") in U.S. box office history. Disney (who owns _Star Wars_) is likely hoping Ford will do the same for the _Indiana Jones_ franchise. The previous four films combined grossed $2 billion dollars. Ford will be 77 years old when the still untitled _Indiana Jones_ movie premieres, 38 years after [_Raiders of the Lost Ark_](http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,949205,00.html "undefined") hit theaters. Perhaps Jones’ view on snakes has changed in the last four decades. No word yet on whether Shia LaBeouf will reprise his role as Jones’ son from [_Kingdom of the Crystal Skull_](http://content.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1807519,00.html "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4259611/indiana-jones-harrison-ford-steven-spielberg/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4259611/indiana-jones-harrison-ford-steven-spielberg/"},"headline":"Harrison Ford Will Star in a New Indiana Jones Movie","datePublished":"2016-03-15T18:03:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:55:17.733Z","description":"Steven Spielberg will return to direct","url":"https://time.com/4259611/indiana-jones-harrison-ford-steven-spielberg/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbe8c4054b2104419/69888b07196cf4578503abff/indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull_efdb04e3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbe8c4054b2104419/69888b07196cf4578503abff/indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull_efdb04e3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull_efdb04e3","caption":"Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull","creditText":"Paramount Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4259611/indiana-jones-harrison-ford-steven-spielberg/","name":"Harrison Ford Will Star in a New Indiana Jones Movie"}}]}] ```
