Disney is planning to restart the Indiana Jones series by resetting it. The studio, which failed to meet expectations with the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny film, which was released in 2023, seems to have abandoned its strategy of continuing the series.

Disney to restart the Indiana Jones series

The film, which was shot with a budget of approximately $ 300 million, received negative reviews from critics and failed to achieve the desired success at the box office. This situation has raised serious questions about the future of the series.

However, according to recent developments, Disney does not plan to completely abandon the Indiana Jones brand. According to information provided by The Disinsider, the studio aims to restart the series from scratch after a few years of hiatus. It is stated that within the scope of the new plan, the Indiana Jones character will be transferred to a younger actor and the foundation of a new trilogy or a long-running film series will be laid.

The idea of ​​restructuring Indiana Jones with a young actor was actually on the agenda before Dial of Destiny. However, Disney preferred to continue the series at that time. It is stated that this decision was reviewed after the film’s poor performance and the reboot option was on the table again.

The Indiana Jones character, iconic by Harrison Ford, met with the audience for five films in the series that started in 1981. However, the character’s aging and difficulty in connecting with the new generation of viewers may have led Disney to tell a different period story with a young actor.

No official statement has been made yet, but preparations for the reboot project are expected to become clear in the next few years. Disney is transitioning to a comprehensive strategy that aims to appeal to the new generation of viewers while preserving the nostalgic value of the brand.
