Spielberg Is Handing Over Indy 5 Directing Duties To James Mangold?!

Indiana Jones 5 has had a countless number of delays and changes since the last Indy film released in 2008. Variety is now reporting the biggest change of all might be happening – Steven Spielberg is stepping down as director and handing over Indy 5 duties to James Mangold.

From Variety:

After a long development process, Steven Spielberg is handing the directing reins on "Indiana Jones 5" to another filmmaker for the first time in the franchise’s 39-year history, Variety has learned.

Sources say, while a deal hasn’t closed, "Ford v Ferrari" director James Mangold is in talks to take the job. Mangold has been put in this situation before when he took over the "Wolverine" franchise; 2017’s "Logan" was a blockbuster, grossing $619 million globally, and earning Mangold an Oscar nomination for adapted screenplay.

Spielberg will remain as a hands-on producer on "Indy 5." According to a source close to the filmmaker, the decision to leave the director’s chair was entirely Spielberg’s, in a desire to pass along Indy’s whip to a new generation to bring their perspective to the story.
