Harrison Ford's digitally de-aged version of Indy is a major highlight in the trailers for the fifth Indiana Jones movie, known as "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." The film brings back the beloved action-adventure franchise, captivating a new generation with its thrilling stunts and supernatural tales. Despite the anticipation for de-aged Indy, it appears that his presence in the movie is actually limited. While many details surrounding the de-aged Indiana Jones remain a mystery, it is evident that he will play a significant role, as the younger version of the character is prominently featured in the film's promotional material. Surprisingly, the duration of de-aged Indy's appearance has already been disclosed, even though the film itself is still under wraps.
Harrison Ford Is De-Aged For 25 Minutes In Indiana Jones 5
Harrison Ford will be digitally de-aged for 25 minutes in the upcoming film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, according to director James Mangold. This de-aged version of Indiana Jones will only appear in a 25-minute sequence at the beginning of the film, which has been heavily featured in marketing. Despite its prominence, this sequence is just a small fraction of the movie's total runtime of 2 hours and 22 minutes. What's interesting is that this sequence serves as the opening of the film, providing a flashback before jumping to the year 1969. Compared to other blockbuster films that have used CGI recreations or digitally de-aged actors, such as The Flash, Rogue One, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, 25 minutes is actually a relatively long time for Indiana Jones to be de-aged.
How Old Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones Is In Dial of Destiny's Opening
Indiana Jones is undeniably youthful in the opening of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. However, there is speculation surrounding his exact age. It has been disclosed that the movie's opening takes place in 1944, bridging the gap between Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. According to The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Indy's birth year is 1899, making him 45 years old during this time.
Interestingly, the television show may be disregarded as canon by Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. In a recent interview, director James Mangold specifically stated that Indy was 35 years old in the opening scene. This would indicate a birth year of around 1909 instead of 1899. Regardless, the sight of a youthful Indiana Jones once again adds considerable excitement to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
