Actor Harrison Ford is ready to hang up his whip. The “Star Wars” veteran, best known for playing smuggler Han Solo in a galaxy far, far away, is equally famous and loved for his role as archaeologist Indiana Jones.
Starting with “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” in 1981, he reprized his role in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984. He worked with Sean Connery in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” in 1989 before dividing audiences with 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
After decades playing the iconic character, Ford, who turned 80 last July, is set to finally hang up his hat for good after the long-delayed “Indiana Jones 5” hits theaters on June 30, 2023.

In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter released in April, Mads talked about what it was like working with Ford on set.
“It was the first time I met him and he was a very powerful person. Not just as an actor, but physically,” he recalls. “I remember the first day we were shooting, it was a night shoot, then we stopped at 5 in the morning — and then he got on his mountain bike and went for a 50 kilometer bike ride [31 miles]. Harrison is a monster of a man, a very good monster.”
Mads also praised the latter film, saying that it reminded him a lot of “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
