More than 40 years after creating the Indiana Jones persona, actor Harrison Ford has expressed his interest about reprising the part as the intrepid archaeologist in his older years.

For one final time, the 80-year-old actor is back on screen in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”

According to Ford, who spoke to Arab News, “I wanted to see the character as he approached the conclusion of his life and his profession. I wanted to see him make amends and embark on one last epic journey.

“The previous movie we saw concluded with his marriage to Marion, and I’m curious about what followed.

Since I haven’t made an Indiana Jones movie in 15 years, I also felt that it was crucial for the movie to focus on ageing. I didn’t want to act as though we had remained the same age all this time. I wanted to acknowledge my age, and I wanted to see how the character was affected by that,” he remarked.

Indy teams up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) in the movie, which also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, John Rhys-Davies, and Karen Allen, as they race against time to obtain the fabled Dial of Destiny.

And as with all Indiana Jones films, there are plenty of exciting action scenes and crazy antics.

A career first for Waller-Bridge was acting in an action-adventure movie and performing stunts

She told Arab News: “The action element of the script was one of the things I was most fascinated by from the time I read it. Before that, the most action I had taken was running comically down the street, though I didn’t even intend to do it.

But I really like acting in Indiana Jones’ action scenes. One of the best and most daring aspects of making this movie, in terms of the character and also for myself in real life, was the drama, the high stakes, the liberal use of each moment like that. I’m completely addicted, and I’d love to have more scenes with rain and wind in the future.

Ford continued, “It was amazing to have a revolutionary in our ranks. Waller-Bridge is the creator and performer of ‘Fleabag. Her intellect’s vigour, dynamism, and passion really improved our story.
