The new Indiana Jones movie coming in 2019 won't be the last time fans get to see the whip-wielding archaeologist in action. Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a new interview that, while the company doesn't anticipate the Indiana Jones brand to grow to become similar in size to Star Wars, he does expect there to be a sixth film and maybe more.

　　Harrison Ford returns as Indiana Jones for the new movie, but as for the sixth, Iger told The Hollywood Reporter that "we have to figure out what comes next."

　　The interviewer suggested a future Indiana Jones could be a reboot with a younger actor playing the role. Iger did not directly respond to this, but again mentioned that what happens after 2019's Indiana Jones movie is up in the air.

　　"We [got] Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the film," he said. "But then what's the direction? I've had discussions about what the direction is, [but] I don't want to get into it."

　　Ford will be 77 when the fifth Indiana Jones movie opens.

　　"I don't think [the Indiana Jones franchise] reaches the scale of the universe of Star Wars, but I see making more. It won't be just a one-off," Iger added about the fifth movie.

　　The entire Hollywood Reporter interview is fascinating. Among other things, Iger talks about the Star Wars Rogue One reshoots, how Bernie Sanders' comments about Disney's business practices were "one-sided and unfair," and his allegiance to the Green Bay Packers. Go read it here.

　　Indiana Jones 5, or whatever Disney ends up calling it, is scheduled to open in theaters in July 2019. It will be directed by Steven Spielberg, who was also behind the camera for the four previous films. David Koepp, who worked with Spielberg on both Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Jurassic Park, is set to write it. It has also been confirmed that John Williams will return to score the movie.

　　No official plot details for the fifth film have been announced, but Spielberg did recently confirm the fate of the main character. "The one thing I will tell you is I'm not killing off Harrison at the end of it," he said.

　　Fans may also be happy to learn that Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, veteran Indiana Jones producers, will also be attached to the new film in the same roles.

　　When Disney bought Lucasfilm back in 2012 for $4 billion, the House of Mouse not only acquired the rights to Lucas' Star Wars series, but also the Indiana Jones franchise. The new movie was previously discussed in May 2015, at which time Kennedy said a script hadn't been written yet.
