Nazis beware! The legendary Indiana Jones is all business on the new covers of Empire magazine. Few characters kick ass and take names like Hollywood’s intrepid archeologist, and Empire is celebrating Indy’s return to cinemas with new artwork, information, and hype for the long-awaited sequel.
Empire‘s coverage for Indiana Jones 5 includes world-exclusive reveals, an images gallery, and in-depth interviews with the cast and crew. The magazine features two different covers. The first finds Ford’s Indy leaning against a brick wall with his signature fedora pulled over his eyes. With his trusty satchel, bullwhip, and brown lambskin leather jacket, Indy looks well-rested and ready for one final adventure. Indy stands on the street of a 1960s-era New York City for the subscriber cover. The image has a Thomas Kinkade vibe, with a golden sun bathing the metropolis in golden light.
In addition to Harrison Ford, the Indiana Jones sequel also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Toby Jones, Antonio Banderas, and Shaunette Renée Wilson. While Steven Spielberg had been expected to return to direct Indiana Jones 5, he stepped down in 2020, saying he wanted to “pass along Indy’s whip to a new generation to bring their perspective to the story.” James Mangold stepped in to replace Spielberg as director and co-wrote the script with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth.
Mangold recently revealed a trailer for Indiana Jones 5 will debut in “less than 30 days.” Initially, the film was scheduled for a 2022 release but was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Thankfully, it won’t be long before Lucasfilm cracks the whip on images, trailers, and tie-in promotions for the forthcoming film.
