"Fleabag" creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge continues her domination of the entertainment space by landing a leading role in the untitled "Indiana Jones 5" opposite Harrison Ford, Disney and Lucasfilm announced on Friday.
Details on Waller-Bridge's role remain under wraps, but this is the first major casting for the film beyond Ford's return as the titular adventuring archaeologist. It also means that the project, after numerous delays, is now getting much closer to filming.
The big Disney investors day presentation last year confirmed "Indiana Jones 5" is now scheduled for theaters on July 29, 2022.
Lucasfilm also confirmed that John Williams, the iconic film composer of the Indiana Jones franchise, will return to score the fifth installment, directed by Logan's James Mangold.
"I'm thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers," Mangold said in a statement. "Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine. When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can't help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself."
