Harrison Ford is officially done with the Indiana Jones franchise, stating that the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny would be his last outing as the whip-smart archaeologist.
Speaking with Total Film magazine, the actor, 80, 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.

Set to premiere Stateside on June 30, 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, Calista Flockhart.
