Lucasfilm Puts Indiana Jones on Hold as Kennedy Says She Has No Regrets Over Fifth Film

Leadership changes alongside scrapped TV concepts signal a near-term pause for the franchise.

Overview

  • Outgoing Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said she has no regrets about making 2023’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, emphasizing Harrison Ford’s wish to return.
  • Kennedy said Indiana Jones "will never be done" yet stated "nobody is interested right now" in pursuing new projects.
  • Industry reporting says Lucasfilm quietly dropped two TV efforts: an animated series developed under the codename Reggie with Rodrigo Blaas attached and a separate live-action Abner Ravenwood spinoff.
  • Dial of Destiny earned about $384 million worldwide after a very costly production, a shortfall outlets report weighed on follow-up plans.
  • Coverage links the franchise pause to a leadership transition at Lucasfilm, with Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan stepping in as co-presidents and prioritizing other projects.
