The Indy-free years come to an end soon. Harrison Ford will reprise his role as whip-wielding archaeologist Indiana Jones in the franchise’s fifth and final film this summer.
Today, Lucasfilm revealed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will officially make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18. It will screen out of competition.
For director James Mangold, the premiere marks a full-circle moment.
“In 1995, I was honored to come to Cannes with my first film as part of Director’s Fortnite,” said Mangold. “Twenty-eight years later, I am proud to return with a slightly larger spectacle. My legendary collaborators and I are very excited to share a brand new and final Indiana Jones adventure with you!”
Indiana Jones 5 takes place in the 1960s, set during the Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union.
In addition to Ford, the film also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen.
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas executive produce the feature. John Williams also returns to score Dial of Destiny. (Williams scored each Indiana Jones adventure, from Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981.)
Following its May premiere at Cannes, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will debut in theaters June 30.
