The fifth Indiana Jones film is here, but is it the end for the whip-cracking archaeologist?
Across four hugely successful films, the adventurous archaeologist has become one of cinematic history's most recognisable and beloved heroes.
The early '90s kid-friendly TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which is yet to follow the films to Disney+, featured three actors in the title role — Corey Carrier as a kid Indy, Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy in his teens and 20s, and George Hall as an eye-patch-wearing 93-year-old version recalling his past exploits.
Importantly, none of the other actors played Indy within the same age bracket that Ford did — Dr Indiana Jones, as a man who splits his time between teaching archaeology at college and uncovering ancient antiquities, has always been the domain of Harrison Ford.After the fourth film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, Ford indicated he was up for a fifth film so long as it didn't take 20 years to get made.
Despite its poor box office performance, Solo received mostly positive reviews and has become a fan favourite, with plenty of praise for Ehrenreich's efforts following in Ford's footsteps.
