Indiana Jones 5

will be the first film in the franchise not to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

If the cult filmmaker sticks around, since he will produce it, the announcement of his replacement, even by a director of the caliber of James Mangold (

Walk the Line

,

Logan

), has raised the concern of many fans.

But if we are to believe one of the main actors of the next installment of the adventures of the intrepid archaeologist, there is nothing to worry about.

Mads Mikkelsen, who was recruited to star alongside Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, revealed the script lived up to Indy's “legend”.

“I'm very, very excited about it all… I saw

Create your character

The actor, soon to appear on

Riders of Justice

and known for his compositional roles and his total involvement, had the opportunity to literally "create" his character.

“I think I'm invited to create a character, I think that's what everyone wants. That's why they pick certain actors that they think they can create certain things for, and it will be a collaboration as always. Interestingly, like

, there's always a mix of genres in

Indiana Jones

. There's something that's a little larger than life, almost a throwback to the 1930s with kind of Peter Lorre, and then you have Indiana Jones who's kind of a straight man. But he produces a lot of funny and interesting things, and there are different kinds of characters in some of these movies, ”he added.

For those who are still worried about the major changes at the heart of such a legendary series of films, one element should make it possible to make the link with all the other opus of the saga: the composer John Williams will return for the soundtrack.
