Indiana Jones 6: Is It Happening?
Indiana Jones 6 has not been announced: as of November 3, 2026, Lucasfilm and Disney have not dated, cast or put into production a sixth film, so the next Indiana Jones movie has no release date. The latest film is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023), directed by James Mangold, and it was marketed as Harrison Ford's final outing as Indy. No director, cast member or script has been reported for a follow up, and anything online with a sixth film's trailer or date is fan made.
Is Indiana Jones 6 Happening?
No, not officially: Lucasfilm and Disney have not announced, dated or put into production a sixth Indiana Jones film, and the series has no release date for a next movie. The most recent entry is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023), directed by James Mangold and released in the US on June 30, 2023. It followed four films directed by Steven Spielberg, starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, and it was marketed as Harrison Ford's final outing as Indy.
The closest thing to news came in January 2026. In an exit interview from that month, outgoing Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said she did not think Indy would ever be done, but that nobody is interested right now in exploring another film. She added that Spielberg, Marshall, Ford, George Lucas and she would decide whether there are more.
The series is best described as in development only in the loosest sense: no studio or trade report has confirmed a script, a director or a start of filming. Anything online titled "Indiana Jones 6" with a date or a trailer is a fan made concept or a rumor. For the films that do exist, start with the Indiana Jones movies hub or the Indiana Jones movies in order guide.
Indiana Jones 6 Cast: Who Is Confirmed?
Nobody is confirmed for Indiana Jones 6, because no sixth film has been announced, and no cast member or crew member has been reported for one either. The full Indiana Jones cast page covers the five released films.
Harrison Ford is the one constant. He is billed first as Indiana Jones in all five films, from Raiders in 1981 to Dial of Destiny in 2023, and Dial of Destiny was marketed as his final outing in the role. Karen Allen returned as Marion Ravenwood in Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny, and John Rhys-Davies returned as Sallah in Dial of Destiny. Neither return says anything about a future film.
The last film also introduced Helena Shaw, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, as Indy's goddaughter. On the directing side, James Mangold made Dial of Destiny after Spielberg directed the first four. No director is attached to a sixth film.
Indiana Jones 6 Rumors: What Is Reported?
There is no sourced rumor about a sixth Indiana Jones film, because no studio, trade paper or major outlet has reported a specific plan. That is different from silence: the January 2026 exit interview with Kathleen Kennedy is the most recent on the record comment, and it described a lack of interest in another film rather than a project.
Fan driven material fills the gap. Concept trailers, invented titles and posted release dates circulate widely, and some rank well in search. None of it comes from Lucasfilm or Disney, so none of it counts as news. A claim is only worth repeating with a named source, and it should carry a status such as reported, denied or unconfirmed.
One question readers often ask is about the cast. Shia LaBeouf played Mutt Williams in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and is not among the 15 top billed cast of Dial of Destiny. No studio or trade report gives a reason, so any explanation you read online is unverified.
What We Know About the Next Indiana Jones Movie
The firm facts are short: five films, the last released in 2023, no announced sequel, and a studio executive on record in January 2026 saying nobody is interested right now in another one. In my opinion, the Dial of Destiny numbers help explain the pause. Box Office Mojo lists about $384 million worldwide, and The Numbers lists a $300 million budget. Compare that with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), which took in about $787 million on a $185 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo. See the Indiana Jones box office page for every figure.
That gap is my reading rather than a statement from Lucasfilm. It could be argued that a film which cost this much and grossed this little makes a quick follow up unlikely, and Kennedy's own words fit that picture. The other side is her remark that Indy might never be done, which keeps the door open, though nothing has been announced.
So, what should you do if you want more Indy? Rewatch in release order or story order, where Temple of Doom (set in 1935) comes before Raiders (set in 1936), or settle the argument yourself with the Indiana Jones movies ranked list.
