It seems Indy is hanging up his hat for good.
Harrison Ford said last week that he not intends to play the famed archeologist after the discharge of the upcoming film “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and that he believes the movie can be the last within the franchise.
“That is the ultimate film within the series, and that is the last time I’ll play the character. I anticipate that it should be the last time that he appears in a movie,” Ford, 80, told Total Film.
“I had been ambitious to do that film for 10 years, and there finally got here a time after we all committed to that,” he added. “It was a joyous moment for me. I believe it’s a rare situation that I find myself in.”
“I’ve been in a position to deliver amazing movies developed by Steven [Spielberg] and George [Lucas] over a 40-year period, and to finish it not with a whimper, but a bang, has been my best ambition for this tour,” continued the “Star Wars” actor.
The Post reached out to Ford for comment.
Ford announced his involvement in “Dial of Destiny” in May 2022. The fifth “Indiana Jones film” has been plagued with several on and off-set difficulties.
After being slated for a July 2020 release, the film was pushed back to 2022 on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The project was delayed even longer on account of Steven Spielberg’s commitment to “West Side Story.”
Ford also suffered a shoulder injury while filming a fight scene and a crew member died, which further delayed the project.
A trailer for the film — which was released in December — shows a young-looking Ford, a feat that was achieved by utilizing visual effects and Industrial Light & Magic software.
“My hope is that, although it should be talked about when it comes to technology, you only watch it and go, ‘Oh my God, they simply found footage. This was a thing they shot 40 years ago,’ ”producer Kathleen Kennedy, 69, told Empire Magazine.
Ford admitted that seeing a younger version of himself was “spooky.”
It was also rumored in November 2022 that Disney was toying with the thought of developing a television series across the character but Ford said he wouldn’t be involved within the series “if it does come to fruition.”
The franchise first debuted in theaters in 1981 with “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” which made nearly $4 million on the box office.
“Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is about to whip its way into theaters on June 30, 2023.
