details for the fifth Indiana Jones film are currently a total mystery, but Karen Allen\u2019s aforementioned comments claiming the franchise is going in a \u201cwhole new trajectory\u201d are certainly intriguing.<\/p>\n<p>And despite no official information having been revealed, there are some pretty strong rumours circulating about the film\u2019s plot and setting \u2013 with <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.theilluminerdi.com\/2021\/05\/20\/indiana-jones-5-space-details\/&quot;\">The Illuminerdi<\/a> alleging that the film will take place in te 1960s against the backdrop of the space race.<\/p>\n<p>In the same report, it is claimed that Mads Mikkelson will be taking on the villainous role of a Nazi scientist recruited by the US government to work for NASA on its moon landing initiative, while it is further suggested that Shaunette Renee Wilson will be playing his CIA handler.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some fans reckon they spotted confirmation of the \u201960s setting in a tweet from director James Mangold in January, after he wrote, \u201cThe Velvet Underground are f**king great. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s my tweet. (Note \u2014 I\u2019m mentally living in 60\u2019s NYC right now cause that\u2019s where all the movies I\u2019m working on take place.)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also been heavily suggested that this could be the last time Harrison Ford cracks his whip \u2013 so there\u2019s a chance the film could give us a fairly definitive ending to the saga.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s vital to remember that these rumours are just that \u2013 rumours, and nothing has been confirmed so far.<\/p>\n<p>Should any more official information be released, we\u2019ll update this page accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will
