There is news about the Indiana Jones 5 movie, which will be the last one starring Harrison Ford. The 80-year-old actor decided to retire after this production. This fact caused a wave of rumors on social media. Among these rumors was that the main character would die in the movie or that he would pass the baton to a family member.

These rumors seem to have upset the film’s director James Mangold. He commented on the rumors swirling about the filming he leads after a fan asked him a question associated with them. The filmmaker also commented on how these Trolls spread rumors about the movies to earn revenue. 

James Mangold said that the movie is all about Indiana Jones and there is no gimmick in it. He stated strongly about the comments that spread rumors on social media, detailing that they bring the films into disrepute. He also denoted a deep dislike for people who engage in this activity.

The filmmaker who replaced Steven Spielberg as director spoke about the rumors and news surrounding Indiana Jones 5. In a conversation with a franchise fan, he clarified the rumor that Indy would be replaced by his goddaughter Helena, represented by actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The news indicated that Ford’s character would pass the baton to Waller-Bridge. According to these reports, Indy could die in Indiana Jones 5 or be left in a condition that would not allow him to continue with his activities.

In response to these unfounded comments, Mangold commented, “One more time. No one is ‘taking over or replacing Indy or donning his hat nor is he being ‘erased’ thru some contrivance, And he never was, not not in any cut or script – but trolls will troll – that’s how they get their clicks.”

The director also talked about tweeters who make such comments with the sole intention of gaining an audience as trolls. He commented about them, “lease don’t exhaust me pointing out how once in a while a troll is ‘right.’ Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then. All one has to do is look at set photos & interviews & you get enough info to make wild guesses about a movie plot”.

He later wrote in the Twitter thread, “The diff between trolling a-holes & everyone else is they are trying to make off your feelings about other films & culture war politics.”

With this, the director concluded that Indy would remain the saga’s main character. Which makes you wonder what will happen if Disney decides to make the next sequel if the main actor is on retirement.
