Harrison Ford has confirmed his upcoming performance in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be his last in the franchise.
Harrison Ford is reprising his role as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s archaeological adventurer for a fifth picture, but at 80 years old, he is prepared to hang up the hat and whip for good.
In Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harrison Ford made his acting debut as Indiana Jones 42 years ago.
The Hollywood star and director teamed up for two more outings to complete the 1930s set original trilogy before reuniting in 2008 for the 1950s set Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Considering Ford will be 81 when the blockbuster is released this summer has fans wondering if he’s done with the role and now the star himself has spoken out on the matter.

“This is the final film in the series,” he shockingly revealed. “And this is the last time I’ll play the character. I anticipate that it will be the last time that he appears in a film.”
Despite leaving the franchise, Harrison admitted that he’d been “ambitious” to do the film for a decade and found joy in working on it.
“I had been ambitious to do this film for 10 years, and there finally came a time when we all committed to that. It was a joyous moment for me. I think it’s a rare situation that I find myself in.
