Though keeping mum on exactly how, James Mangold reveals that IndianaJones and the Dial of Destiny will address what happened to Shia LaBeouf's Mutt.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will not feature the controversial character of Shia LaBeouf's Mutt from the previous film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but audiences will find out what happened to him. The upcoming action-adventure movie is due for a June 30, 2023 release, and will be the fifth installment in the hugely successful Indiana Jones franchise, as well as the final movie to star Harrison Ford in the titular role.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY However, this is not going to be a case of revisionist history, with the movie pretending the character never existed in the first instance; instead, his absence in the movies is set to be touched upon, and audiences will get answers to explain what has happened to the character.
"LaBeouf and his character will not be in Dial of Destiny, and Mangold promises audiences will "find out what happened" to him, but of course, won't say more."Why Not Including Mutt Is Best For The Movie Mutt not returning is very likely to be a creative decision, but following LaBeouf's public criticism of Spielberg and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it seems unlikely he was approached about the fifth movie.
This means the movie needs to stand on its own two feet, by staying true to the themes of an Indiana Jones movie, as well as combining new characters with old ones. The Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny trailer revealed that John Rhys-Davies' character Sallah will be returning, and it is important that the movie doesn't lean too heavily on legacy characters, yet another reason against the inclusion of Mutt in the film.
Taking place in 1969, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will feature Ford's Jones as a fish out of water, in an era he will be unfamiliar with in the context of the franchise. This is already taking something of a risk with the character, so it seems likely the inclusion of Mutt would be viewed as a further unnecessary risk the movie doesn't need to take.
