Indiana Jones’ son, Mutt Williams (a.k.a. Henry Jones III) will not be in the fifth film of the franchise, which was played by Shia LaBeouf in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008.
The lovechild of Indy (Harrison Ford) and Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) was introduced in the last film. Allen made her return to the franchise since the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
David Koepp, who wrote Crystal Skull and now the fifth Indiana Jones film, spoke to Entertainment Weekly. He didn’t offer much.
“Harrison plays Indiana Jones, that I can certainly say…and the Shia LaBeouf character is not in the film.”
Given the mixed reception, it’s not surprising Koepp and director Steven Spielberg decided to go a different route with the film. Originally, Mutt was likely going to play a bigger role in the franchise with Ford eventually retiring as Indy as a passing of the torch. A lot has happened since with Disney acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012 and Ford’s renewed interest in coming back to the franchises he helped make famous in Star Wars, Blade Runner, and now Indiana Jones for at least one last hurrah.
Keep in mind that Ford is 75 and he’s going to be delegating a lot more on stuntmen when there’s action. If there was some kind of successor, there are maybe two films left, tops.
Koepp says he and Spielberg are satisfied with his current screenplay and production could begin in the near future.
“We’re plugging away at it. In terms of when we would start, I think that’s up to Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Ford. [The plot will involve] some precious artifact that they’re all looking for [throughout the film]. I know we’ve got a script we’re mostly happy with. Work will be endless, of course, and ongoing, and Steven just finished shooting The Post …. If the stars align, hopefully it’ll be his next film.”
LaBeouf didn’t respond to EW’s request for comment, but in a 2010 interview with the Los Angeles Times, he told the paper he felt as if he “dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished” and that Ford was not happy with the film either. Ford later responded calling his costar a “f–g idiot” for his comments. That probably didn’t endear LaBeouf to his colleagues.
The sooner Spielberg and Koepp get it to production, the better since it’s not like Ford has another franchise to plug following Blade Runner 2049.

Sept 5, 2017, 2017,
Just saw the re release of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS……
The language of cinema has really speeded up since 1978, you could tell the same story today in HALF the time.
Oh and last years ARRIVAL was all but a remake. With inky sign language in place of the “simon” musical notes.
No internet for abductee families or people with the alien ” implant” in them to share info with each other. You couldn’t just google “devils tower” or maps and coordinates.
And hey- I guess Roy Nearys family had to fend for themselves after he went with the aliens. And hey hey- those aliens were DICKS…. kidnapping all those people- planting haunting images in innocent peoples minds….
Its a 70s time capsule, the hair, the fashions, the payphones, looking up movie times in the newspaper….
Close Encounters reminded me a little bit of Martin Scorsese’s Silence. Another movie that could be cut in half
One of the cops early in the film, right after the cop car goes off the cliff, looks exactly like Paul Giamatti. imdb says he was born in 1967 so he would only ten years old in 1977.
The scene his doppelganger is in is right AFTER this clip stops:
I did a google search on “paul giamatti close encounters” and got:
But how if he was only ten?
The mother ship model shots still hold up but most of the other model work looks dated. Even shots that aren’t science fiction-ey, ( houses/ railroad crossing) look like…. models.
The final scene has way too many repeated shots and close ups of people that AREN’T in the plot…. The mothership looks great but the smaller ships look fake.
The alien “attack” on Giliian and the baby boys farmhouse still holds up-
The whole film is Spielbergs most “spielbergey” movie ever. Every shot seems like a TV commercial, the very thing Michael Bay gets criticised for Spielberg was praised for. I’m glad Spielberg has outgrown this with ” Saving Private Ryan” “Schindlers List” and “Munich”.
Seeing this made me wonder if Stephen Spielbergs movies all happen in the same cinematic universe? The Marvel Superheroes all live in the same comic book universe and most of them can be assumed to be in the same world. DARK TOWER ties to The Shining, and I think CHRISTINE, CARRIE and THE SHINING could all happen in the same world.
“E.T.” looks and feels exactly the same as “Close Encounters” and I could sort of see those government alien experts in CE3K being the same ones who hide the Ark in the Area 51 warehouse in “Raiders,” and theres no reason JAWS couldn’t have happened in the same world. And movies that Spielberg did NOT direct but produced ( Gremlins, Explorers, Back to the Future, etc..) all seem to happen in “Spielberg-land”
