Bob Iger, who has overseen the company’s purchases of Pixar, Marvel and LucasFilm through his 11-year tenure as Disney CEO, was recently profiled by The Hollywood Reporter, who asked if he sees the Indiana Jones franchise as being as big as the Star Wars franchise.
After Disney acquired LucasFilm for a whopping $4 billion back in 2012, that gave the studio the rights to keep building on the Star Wars franchise, but it didn’t include the company’s other iconic character, Indiana Jones.
Disney has already set a July 19, 2019 release date for Indiana Jones 5, but aside from Harrison Ford and the filmmakers involved, nothing else has been confirmed.
The question that remains, though, is will Indiana Jones 5 be the last movie in this sprawling adventure saga?
