“Fleabag” creator and Emmy winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge is joining the cast of “Indiana Jones 5,” Lucasfilm announced Friday in a press release.
She will co-star with “Indiana Jones” franchise star Harrison Ford.
In addition to Ford’s return, iconic composer John Williams is back to score the fifth installment, after leading the franchise to adventurous heights in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” 40 years.
“I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers,” said director James Mangold 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.”
Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel will serve as producers on the film, which releases in theaters on July 29, 2022.
Deadline first reported the news.
