In an interview with WSJ. Magazine promoting Captain America: Brave New World, Harrison Ford has spoken about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, released in 2023, stating “I’m still happy I made that movie,” despite the box office.
“S— happens,” the actor said, when asked about the movie’s relatively poor performance financially compared to expectations for the beloved action series, which Ford originated with 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark. “I was really the one who felt there was another story to tell. When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened.”
“I’m still happy I made that movie,” Ford added.
Dial of Destiny saw Ford reprise his role as Indiana Jones for the final time and for the first time since 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the series’ fourth film. The movie meets Jones on the eve of his retirement in 1969, where he and his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) are tasked with preventing former Nazi Dr. Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) from obtaining the titular dial and traveling back in time to change the course of World War II in Germany’s favor.
The movie made its buzzy world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where Ford was honored with a Palme d’Or for lifetime achievement in the film industry.
Captain America: Brave New World is released on February 14th.
