Let’s just forget The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull happened and hope for the best, yeah? Indiana Jones is back, everybody.

Disney have announced that a fifth Indiana Jones film is definitely happening and will be coming to cinemas on 19 July, 2019.

Harrison Ford will star, with Steven Spielberg directing.

Disney’s chairman Alan Horn said in a statement: “Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019.

“It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

Spielberg has given away one massive spoiler – and it’s good news for fans of the franchise.

“I think this one is straight down the pike for fans. The one thing I will tell you is I’m not killing off Harrison at the end of it.”

To quote Short Round, “no time for love Doctor Jones.” It’s time to start filming.
