Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
James Mangold is opening up about the mixed reaction to his 2023 blockbuster Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Mangold, the acclaimed director behind Logan and Ford v Ferrari, was given the unenviable task of closing out the beloved franchise and taking over from Steven Spielberg, and he faced the monumental challenge of delivering a satisfying finale for Harrison Ford’s iconic adventurer.
“You have a wonderful, brilliant actor who’s in his eighties. So I’m making a movie about this guy in his eighties, but his audience on one other level doesn’t want to confront their hero at that age. And I am like, I’m good with it. We made the movie. But the question is, how would anything have made the audience happy with that, other than having to start over again with a new guy?”
Was 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' Bad? Well, no, it wasn't. Despite the mixed reviews, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny fared better with audiences than the much-maligned Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
