Steven Spielberg Won’t Direct ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ James Mangold in Talks to Replace
After a long development process, Steven Spielberg is handing the directing reins on “Indiana Jones 5” to another filmmaker for the first time in the franchise’s 39 year history, Variety has learned.

Sources say that while a deal hasn’t closed, “Ford v Ferrari” director James Mangold is in talks to take the job.

Spielberg will remain as a hands-on producer on “Indy 5.” According to a source close to the filmmaker, the decision to leave the director’s chair was entirely Spielberg’s, in a desire to pass along Indy’s whip to a new generation to bring their perspective to the story.

With a new director coming on board, the possibility that “Indy 5” will push once more from its 2021 release date seems likely. Spokespeople for Spielberg and Disney declined to comment.

This is good news. I'd rather Spielberg do other stuff anyway.

I think this is fantastic news. Mangold is one of the best filmmakers today, if not one of the most underrated.

Also, this type of movie isn't suitable for Spielberg anymore. It was in the 80s. He's old. It sucks, but it's true. He's one of the best directors ever and one of my favorites, but he's at his best now when doing Bridge of Spies and The Post and Lincoln. He's dropping the ball when he does BFG and Ready Player One and Tintin. Indiana Jones needs a younger filmmaker who can bring energy.

Harrison Ford is a whole other topic, lol. But he did do a great job in Force Awakens.

By saying “out”’ you implied you were in prior.
