The director of the new IndianaJones details how the hero has evolved in the years since his early adventures.
With the first three Indiana Jones films being released within a span of a decade, and with the middle entry taking place prior to the debut installment, audiences might have loved seeing Harrison Ford as the archaeologist, but they didn't entirely see the character go through much of a personal evolution, which is set to change with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
"We can't hide from where we are in our lives -- none of us can -- and neither can Indiana Jones," Mangold shared with The Hollywood Reporter."I wanted to follow Harrison's own lead and simply deal with it straight on. It's not just a movie about a hero in his twilight years who is called back into action.
With how much time has passed within the franchise itself, this presented Ford and Mangold with both challenges and opportunities when it came to uncovering unexplored elements of the character. "The first three Indiana Jones movies took place in roughly the same period," the filmmaker expressed."They all easily fit with the serialized, theatrical, almost screwball-action style of the movies that were being released in the period they're set in.
He continued,"And our perception of politics is more gray ... Who's a villain? Who are we working with? Who are we fighting against? Proxy wars, all of that. It's not as simple as the era around World War II. What happens to a hero built for a black-and-white world, when he finds himself in one that is gray? It's a problem that produces humor, produces contradictions, produces adjustments that this character's going have to make.
