Harrison Ford gives two-word response to Indiana Jones box office flop

Fifth film in series lost Disney an estimated £114m. The 2023 film also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Jones’s goddaughter Helena Shaw, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, and Toby Jones. Ford shared in a new interview how he felt about the titular archaeologist’s adventure not doing so well at the box office. “S** happens,” the Oscar nominee told the Wall Street Journal. “I was really the one who felt there was another story to tell. When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his a** and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigour, to see what happened.
“I’m still happy I made that movie.”. Ford said in an interview last year this was his last time playing Indiana Jones and that he wouldn’t be involved in a potential television series, which is in development. “This is the final film in the series, and this is the last time I’ll play the character,” Ford told Total Film magazine in April. “I anticipate that it will be the last time that he appears in a film.”.
“Why not?” Ford replied. “I saw enough Marvels to see actors that I admired having a good time.”. Ford added that he didn’t know his character would end up turning into the Red Hulk, but he was taking it in stride. “I didn’t really know that at the end I would turn into the Red Hulk,” Ford joked. “Well, it’s like life. You only get so far in the kit until the last page of the instructions is missing.”.
