During the Super Bowl, a brand new teaser for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was released, and, while we'll continue to hold our breath for anything but a repeat of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the high-octane, almost celebratory nature of this new footage appears to be a major step in the right direction for the franchise.
Indy's performance appears to have aged like fine wine (partly due to CGI but partly due to Harrison Ford's personality) as well as his punch-happy attitude towards Nazis, and with the promise of some more expertly-crafted action scenes that arereminiscent of the old days, complete with fights on moving cars and falling out of airplanes, Jones' swansong is shaping up to be the must-see.
Harrison Ford, the ever-so-zestful adventurer, is back in action with a group of NASA-appointed Nazis who are attempting to thwart the plot of Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), a visionary Nazi who intends to exploit the Apollo moon landing program.
As Sallah, Jones' long-time friend who first appeared in Raiders of the Lost Ark and later returned in The Last Crusade, John Rhys-Davies makes a dramatic comeback, while Boyd Holbrook, who has developed his villain chops quite beautifully as the Corinthian in Netflix's The Sandman, will play Klaber, a Nazi who later married Mikkelsen's Jürgen.
On June 30, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be released in cinemas.
