Director James Mangold (Logan, Ford v Ferrari) takes the whip from Steven Spielberg for this fifth entry in the Indiana Jones franchise. Harrison Ford returns (both de-aged and of-age) as the snake-fearing archaeologist, and this time he’s joined by friends both old (John Rhys-Davies briefly returns as Sallah) and new (Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones) to face off against a new Nazi foe (Mads Mikkelsen) in search of Archimedes’ titular dial. Reviews from the film’s Cannes premiere were not nearly as kind as the applause Ford received when accepting his honorary Palme d’Or prior to the film’s screening, but it’s Indy’s final big-screen adventure, so how bad could it be? (The answer, at press time: Worse than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.) Luckily, if you’re itching to see the best of Indiana Jones this month, Raiders of the Lost Ark returns to theaters on June 4 and 7, while Disney+ is now streaming the franchise's first four films as well as its only TV series.
