Disney pushed back the release date of the highly-anticipated "Indiana Jones 5" almost a full year from July 29, 2022, to June 30, 2023.

This comes as the studio announced a number of shifts to its 2022-2023 theatrical slate.

Disney had also delayed the releases of movies "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness", "Thor: Love and Thunder", "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", "The Marvels", and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania".

Despite none of these movies got postponed by a full year like Indiana Jones, nonetheless, fans are left disappointed to wait a little bit longer for follow-ups to their favorite movies.

Plot details for the sequel are unknown so far, but Harrison Ford is reprising his iconic role as the fedora-wearing, swashbuckling archaeologist in the fifth installment.

The movie also stars Antonio Banderas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, and Shaunette Renée Wilson.

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.
