Hollywood actor Harrison Ford sustained a shoulder injury on the set of “Indiana Jones 5”.
Ford is taking a break from filming while his treatment is evaluated.
“In the course of rehearsing for a fight scene, Harrison Ford sustained an injury involving his shoulder. Production will continue while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated, and the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement on Wednesday.
The extent of Ford’s injury is unknown, but it is hardly the first time he got injured while making a movie. In the past, Ford suffered a serious back injury on “Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom” and endured leg trauma on “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
“Indiana Jones 5” began production earlier this month in the U.K.
Plot details for the sequel are unknown so far, but the 78-year-old star is reprising his iconic role as the fedora-wearing, swashbuckling archaeologist, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelsen also starring in the latest installment.
“Indiana Jones 5″ has been delayed several times and is currently set to debut in theaters on July 29, 2022.

The latest installment arrives almost 15 years since the last movie, 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, and over four decades after the initial installment, 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark”.
Steven Spielberg, who directed the first four movies in the franchise, was initially set to direct “Indiana Jones 5”, however, he passed filmmaking reins to James Mangold in 2020.
Spielberg is expected to remain hands-on as a producer, while George Lucas, who co-created Indiana Jones with Spielberg, hasn’t been officially involved with the latest installment.
