Here's Why James Mangold Insisted on Scene With Young Harrison Ford

Even long before the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny it was known that a young Indy would appear in the film. The creators took advantage of the possibilities of modern technology to take the main character into the past, at least for a moment. Such a movie was quite unexpected and in a recent interview, James Mangold explained why he decided to do so (via Inverse):

The idea with the momentary reference to the old movies and the transition to a completely new adventure paid off, even though nothing initially foreshadowed it. Recently, the new Indiana Jones adventure has been getting better and better ratings, which, among other things, allowed the film to get a score of 68% positive reviews from reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes and a whopping 88% positive ratings from viewers.

In The Dial of Destiny the famous archaeologist embarks on a journey with Helena Shaw. The woman finds her godfather because she wants to learn more about a certain artifact that Indiana Jones came across many years earlier. A new adventure begins, although the elderly hero is reluctant to take part in it.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is now available in theaters. On the other hand, if someone wants to refresh the previous movies, they will find them on Disnet+ or SkyShowtime.
