Harrison Ford has touched down in France! The actor was spotted at a photocall at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday and was joined then by wife Calista Flockhart on the red carpet.

The 80-year-old arrived for the debut screening of his final appearance in the Indiana Jones film franchise, that being Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, with his wife, 59, by his side ahead of the big debut.

He was joined by director James Mangold and co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge alongside other members of the cast such as Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, and Ethann Isidore at the photocall.

On the carpet, they upped the glam factor, with Harrison opting for a sharp black tux and Calista wearing a beautiful black gown with a sheer tulle skirt, even sporting her relatively new brunette hair.

The actor was also awarded with a surprise honorary Palme d'Or for his legendary career ahead of the screening and was seen moved to tears, thanking his wife and fans for their everlasting support.

The film will debut out of competition on Thursday at the French film festival and will be released theatrically in the United States on June 30.

Speaking earlier with Total Film magazine, Ford stated that this would not only be his last turn as the character, but also most likely Indy's final appearance in film.

"This is the final film in the series, and this is the last time I'll play the character. I anticipate that it will be the last time that he appears in a film," he said.

Ford was also asked about the TV show reportedly in the works with Disney+ that might bring the character back, although said that he would "not be involved in that, if it does come to fruition."

The fifth and final film in the franchise is a sequel to 2008's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and will close the chapter on the role Ford first originated in 1981.

He expressed to the outlet his excitement for the film, saying: "I had been ambitious to do this film for 10 years, and there finally came a time when we all committed to that. It was a joyous moment for me. I think it's a rare situation that I find myself in.

"I've been able to deliver amazing films developed by Steven [Spielberg] and George [Lucas] over a 40-year period, and to end it not with a whimper, but a bang, has been my greatest ambition for this excursion."

The legendary actor has kept himself busy, though, with recent starring turns in Apple TV+'s comedy series Shrinking and the Yellowstone spin-off 1923 opposite Helen Mirren, a glimpse of which can be seen in the above video.

In a recent interview on Live! with Kelly and Ryan (now Live! with Kelly and Mark), Ford was asked whether he would consider working on a project alongside his wife.

"Do you ever think about working together?" Kelly Ripa asked the Star Wars actor, who responded with a short: "Yeah."

When she followed up with: "And will you work together?" he repeated the same answer, eventually launching into more detail by adding: "We haven't seen something that came along when we were both free."
