Indiana Jones 6 Teased Despite Dial of Destiny’s Massive Box Office Failure

Kathleen Kennedy discussed the future of the Indiana Jones franchise and suggested another installment could still happen after Dial of Destiny. As she steps away from her role at Lucasfilm, she pointed to Harrison Ford’s desire to return and indicated that the door remains open for Indiana Jones to continue.

Kathleen Kennedy is hopeful about continuing Indiana Jones’ story

In an interview with Deadline, Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that Harrison Ford was the driving force behind Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. “He did not want Indy to end with the fourth movie. He wanted a chance at another, and we did that for him,” Kennedy said. “I don’t think Indy will ever be done, but I don’t think anybody is interested right now in exploring it,” she added. “These are timeless movies, and Indy will never be done.”

Asked whether another Indiana Jones film could happen, Kennedy replied, “You never know. But we are all still here, Steven and Frank and I, and Harrison and George. So we get to say whether there’s going to be any more, or not.”

Kennedy is stepping down from her executive role at Lucasfilm in early 2026, naming Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan as successors. “Two years ago, I went to Bob and Alan to figure out what the transition plan would be,” she said. “I made the recommendation that it be Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan.” She plans to return to producing and confirmed involvement in future Star Wars projects alongside Frank Marshall.

“I want to do more movies, and I want the opportunity to get back to a kind of eclectic group of movies the way I used to,” Kennedy said. She also expressed interest in using AI in responsible ways, especially for large-scale storytelling.

Reflecting on her past work, Kennedy stated, “I don’t really have any regrets. Well, maybe a bit of regret about Solo: A Star Wars Story.” She acknowledged the challenges of recasting iconic characters, noting, “We put [Alden Ehrenreich] in an impossible situation.” However, she reaffirmed there was no regret in fulfilling Ford’s desire for another Indiana Jones film.
