Harrison Ford calls Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director ambitious and humorous 

The fifth instalment in the Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, will stream on Disney+ Hotstar on December 1. The streamer announced the news through the social media handles on Thursday. 

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was released in theatres on June 30. Unlike other films in the franchise, James Mangold, known for directing The Wolverine and Ford v Ferrari, is taking over as the director of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny from Steven Spielberg. Spielberg, who recently caught the film ahead of its release, praised the film. 

On working with James, Harrison Ford said, “There are a lot of aspects of Jim Mangold’s filmmaking skill that I admire. But as a storyteller, he’s got a particular perception, born of his own experience, understanding, and his ambition is consistent with the ambition that we’ve had all the way through this series of films to create large-scale entertainment with a kind of wry humor and an emotional reality that engages the audience?”

Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny would reportedly be Harrison Ford's last time playing the titular character. 

"He was a director who shared my sensibilities about editing, pacing, character development, balancing scenes. I thought, if I don’t do another Indiana Jones movie, James Mangold should," Steven Spielberg said.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, John Rhys-Davies, Boyd HolbrookFord'snio Banderas, Toby Jones, and Thomas Kretschmann.
