When Lucasfilm announced that Harrison Ford would don his iconic bullwhip and fedora one last time in \u201cIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,\u201d fans immediately began to speculate about the future of the \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d series. Few franchises are so synonymous with a single actor, but in an era where no IP is ever truly dead, many wondered if Disney had plans to pass the baton to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who plays Indiana Jones’ goddaughter in the upcoming movie.<\/p>\n

James Mangold is sick of that speculation. The filmmaker, who takes over for Steven Spielberg as the director of \u201cThe Dial of Destiny,\u201d wants fans to know that Harrison Ford is irreplaceable. in a reply<\/a> to a since-deleted tweet from a fan asking if Waller-Bridge would be leading the franchise, Mangold went on a lengthy rant about fans spreading misinformation about his film.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne more time. No one is ‘taking over’ or replacing Indy or donning his hat nor is he being ‘erased’ thru some contrivance,\u201d Mangold wrote. \u201cAnd he never was, not not in any cut or script \u2014 but trolls will troll \u2014 that’s how they get their clicks.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cAnd please don’t exhaust me pointing out how once in a while a troll is ‘right.’ Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then. All one has to do is look at set photos & interviews & u get enough info to make wild guesses about a movie plot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mangold went on to explain that his main grievance isn’t with the false information, but with cynical voices trying to monetize fans’ outrage over something that isn’t even happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe diff between trolling a-holes & everyone else is they r trying to make $ off your feelings about other films & culture war politics,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThey push controversial guesses as coming from ‘sources’ to gin up clicks. Let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it sounds like there are no plans for anyone other than Harrison Ford to lead an Indiana Jones movie, Disney is reportedly developing a TV series set in the world of the iconic adventure franchise. No plot or casting details about that project have been revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny\u201d is scheduled to open in theaters on June 30, 2023.<\/p>\n
