Indiana Jones has completed filming, according to both the movie’s producer Frank Marshall and director James Mangold. Marshall shared a simple, “That’s a wrap!” message on Twitter along with a photo of an Indiana Jones cap. Mangold, meanwhile, simply posted a still image from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
