At this time, the clips of his most famous roles. “I’m very moved by this,” Ford said. “They say when you’re about to die, you see your life flash before your eyes, and I just saw my life flash before my eyes. A great part of my life, but not all of my life. My life has been enabled by my lovely wife, who has supported my passion and my dreams, and I’m grateful.”

So let me get out of the way, and thank you again for this great honor.” "Dial of Destiny" is the last part of this Franchise, “This is the final film in the series, and this is the last time I’ll play the character,” Ford said to Total Film magazine before Cannes. “I anticipate that it will be the last time that he appears in a film.” While he’s aware that Disney is developing an Indiana Jones series for Disney+, Ford said he “will not be involved in that, if it does come to fruition.”

This is the first Indiana Jones movie that has not been made by Steven Spielberg.

It’s really, really a good ‘Indiana Jones’ film. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.”
