It will still be a while before we see Indiana Jones back on the big screen (Indiana Jones 5 is currently scheduled for a July 10, 2020 release), but screenwriter David Koepp has revealed to EW that Shia LaBeouf’s character Mutt Williams will not be returning.
Famed archaeologist and explorer Indiana Jones was introduced in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark – one of AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films of All Time – and later thrilled audiences in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
“Harrison plays Indiana Jones, that I can certainly say…
and the Shia LaBeouf character is not in the film,” Koepp said. But what’s the status of the film?
