Harrison Ford Says There’s No ‘Old Jokes’ In New ‘Indiana Jones’ Movie

Actor Harrison Ford knows how old he is and he doesn’t think viewers need a reminder!

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” marks the 80-year-old actor’s fifth and final time as the whip-wielding archeologist and he’s ready to go out without many jokes about his age.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ford admitted “There are a lot of old jokes in the script.” However, it seems the “Star Wars” alum is clearly not a fan, as he quickly clarified, “We took them all out.”

“There was a moment where he looked at himself in this situation and said, ‘What am I doing here?’ But I hate what I call ‘talking about stories.’ I want to see a situation where the audience gets a chance to experience the story, not to be led through the nose with the highlights shown to them,” added Ford. “I’d rather create behavior that is a come-of-age joke than talk about it.”

MEGASome fans are nervous to see Harrison Ford return as the beloved character, especially since “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” the last “Indiana Jones” movie to hit theaters, was not well received.

The new film has already drawn criticism for the de-aging technology used to create Ford’s younger self. However, although he called the process “weird,” Ford admitted that “it works.”

“I never liked the idea until I saw how it was achieved in this case – which is very different from how it’s done in other movies I’ve seen,” Ford said. “They have every frame of film, whether it’s printed or not, I’ve been working with Lucasfilm for 40 years on various things. I can act the scene and they solve with AI every foot of the film to find me in the same angle and light. It’s weird, and it works, and it’s my face.”

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is directed by James Mangold, who served as a producer on Ford’s 2020 film “The Call of the Wild.” It will be the first “Indiana Jones” movie not directed by Steven Spielberg, but Ford said that “The Fabelmans” filmmakers are still a big part of the production.

“Jim developed the script, so I knew what we were getting when we headed that way,” Ford said. “But Steven is still in the picture and has always been in the picture. He’s not the director this time, but he’s intimately involved.”

During the same THR interview, Ford also touched on his new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “The Fugitive” actor takes over the role of General Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross from the late William Hurt.

Although he’s already involved with several blockbuster franchises, Ford gave a simple answer as to why he wanted to join the MCU. “I thought, ‘Everyone seems to be having fun.’ I’m watching all these great actors having fun,” said Ford. “I like to do something different from what I’ve done before and make people happy with it. So I’m going to try that piece.”

The character was originally played by Sam Elliott in Ang Lee’s “Hulk” in 2003 but William Hurt took over the role in 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk”, where Edward Norton played the green monster hero. Hurt returned to his role when Mark Ruffalo took over as the Hulk, appearing in 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War” in his new role as US Secretary of State.

With continued appearances in “Thunderbolts” and “Captain America: New World Order,” both currently slated for a 2024 theatrical release, it seems fans can’t wait to see more of Harrison Ford in the future.
