Well, Collider has spoken to Indiana Jones 5 writer David Koepp, and according to what he knows, George Lucas’ fingerprints won’t be anywhere on the story for Indiana Jones 5: “He’s not, to my knowledge. I’ve had no contact with him.“
That quote is going to be good news to fans who automatically associate Lucas’ name with the problems of Indiana Jones 4, the Star Wars prequels and everything else from their childhoods that they think Lucas is responsible for ruining.
…But it doesn’t automatically guarantee us a good Indiana Jones film.
Koepp’s filmography includes as many B-movie misses (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Stir of Echoes, Snake Eyes) as it does big hits (Spider-Man, Mission: Impossible). Taking that into account, his work on Indiana Jones 5 could go either way.
Indiana Jones 5 will be in theaters on July 19, 2019.
