Indiana Jones 5 Casts Logan's Boyd Holbrook & Resident's Shaunette Renée Wilson

Indiana Jones 5 is rounding out its cast with Logan and The Resident stars Boyd Holbrook and Shaunette Renée Wilson. Ford first starred as the bullwhip-wielding archaeologist in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, but he most recently reprised the role for the disappointing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. While many were delighted to see Ford return to his iconic role after a nearly 20-year absence, the latest installment starring Shia LaBeouf failed to recapture the spirit of the original beloved trilogy.

Following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, a fifth Indiana Jones movie was announced four years later, but the project got stuck in development hell for years. Multiple writers worked to hash out a script and Steven Spielberg handed the directing reins off to Ford v Ferrari helmer James Mangold. However, the cast has been shaping up nicely as Indiana Jones 5 prepares to begin production this summer ahead of its release in 2022. MCU alum Mads Mikkelsen and Thomas Kretschmann are on board to co-star opposite Ford, along with the dry-witted Phoebe Waller-Bridge of Fleabag fame. Currently, all roles are undisclosed.

Now, two more actors are coming on board the project. According to Deadline, Indiana Jones 5 is rounding out its cast with Boyd Holbrook and Shaunette Renée Wilson. Holbrook, who broke out on Netflix’s Narcos, has starred in a number of tent poles recently, including The Predator in 2018 and Mangold’s own Logan. On the other hand, Wilson is best known for her small-screen roles on Showtime’s Billions and Fox’s medical drama The Resident, though she did have a small role in Black Panther.

While the third Indiana Jones movie in 1989 was titled The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones 5 will more than likely be Ford's last crusade as Indy, as he will be an octogenarian by the time the film is released. After wanting out of Stars Wars, it seems Ford is becoming less and less interested in being tied down by franchise roles in his older age. Considering that John Williams, whose iconic score is associated with Indiana Jones just as much as Ford, will be 90 years old by the time his work on Indiana Jones 5 is complete, there is a good chance this is the last time the legendary Star Wars composer lends his chops to another Lucasfilm franchise.

Similar to every other casting announced thus far, there are no details as to who Holbrook and Wilson will be playing. However, fans of the long-running franchise are likely just happy to hear the project is chugging along smoothly. Hopefully, Indiana Jones 5 will provide a proper sendoff for one of the screen's most iconic heroes.
