How did they make Harrison Ford look so young for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny?
Director James Mangold has teased new de-aging technology that will give Indy the appearance of a decades-younger Ford. “I wanted the chance to dive into this kind of full-on George-and-Steven old picture and give the audience an adrenaline blast,” Mangold told Empire. “And then we fall out, and you find yourself in 1969. So that the audience doesn’t experience the change between the ‘40s and ‘60s as an intellectual conceit, but literally experiences the buccaneering spirit of those early days… and then the beginning of now.” The film uses new ILM software that scanned archival footage of a younger Ford and matched it with freshly shot footage of Indy to recreate the younger star. Producers went to so far as to create a thread-for-thread replica of the original Raiders jacket. “My hope is that, although it will be talked about in terms of technology, you just watch it and go, ‘Oh my God, they just found footage. This was a thing they shot 40 years ago’,” producer Kathleen Kennedy told the magazine. “We’re dropping you into an adventure, something Indy is looking for, and instantly you have that feeling, ‘I’m in an Indiana Jones movie.’” Ford said the de-aging is so realistic that he found it “a little spooky”.

A voiceover from Indy says, “I don’t believe in magic but I’ve seen things that I can’t explain and I’ve come to believe it’s not so much what you believe but how hard you believe it.” We’ll also be introduced to Indy’s granddaughter, Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
