Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny releases in theaters in June, but the action movie had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this week. Reviews for the Harrison Ford film have begun to appear online, painting an early picture of the movie's critical reception.
The Dial of Destiny brings back Ford one more time in the role of the archaeologist-adventurer. He is now teaming up with his goddaughter, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, for another adventure. The movie opens with a flashback that shows a de-aged Ford, and it seems there is an element of time travel within the movie by way of the artifact itself--the Dial of Destiny.
The Dial of Destiny was originally expected to be directed by Steven Spielberg, who directed the four previous entries. However, he dropped out and was replaced by Logan and Ford v Ferrari director James Mangold. Spielberg and series creator George Lucas are executive producers.
The cast also includes Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Toby Jones, Thomas Kretschmann, and Oliver Richters.
