Dial of Destiny director James Mangold confirms that Harrison Ford's Indy and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Helena will not be appearing in the announced Indiana Jones Disney+ show.
After it was announced that an Indiana Jones Disney+ show is in development, director James Mangold reveals that two major franchise characters won't be appearing in it. Harrison Ford's iconic archeologist first appeared in Stephen Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark back in 1981 and the hero has since starred in three additional sequels.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY There are almost no details known about the Indiana Jones Disney+ show due to how early on in development it still is, but Mangold recently responded to a fan on Twitter to confirm that at least two franchise characters won't be in it. Crucially, the director reveals that Ford's archeologist won't be involved in the series, but his tweets also makes clear that neither will Waller-Bridge's Helena, who is Jones' goddaughter in the upcoming film.
A number of characters from the Indiana Jones universe are no longer alive, including Marcus Brody and Henry Jones Sr. , meaning the list of original characters that can appear in the show is now quite small. Rhys-Davies' Sallah could certainly return in some capacity as a supporting character, but the show may be better off introducing somebody new with a looser connection to the original franchise.
What Could The Indiana Jones Disney+ Show Be About? Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is expected to take place mostly in the year 1969, meaning the franchise has now firmly moved away from the 1930s era of Spielberg's original 3 films. Instead of pushing the franchise further into the future and potentially losing the atmosphere of the beloved original trilogy, the show may do well to go back in time to the 1920s, following a new character as they work to uncover an ancient mystery.
