Harrison Ford is taking on one of his most famous roles one last time.

Lucasfilm released the first teaser trailer for the fifth Indiana Jones movie, called Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, on Thursday. It shows Harrison Ford, who is 80 years old, playing the archaeologist in a new adventure.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Fleabag, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Shaunette Renee Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Oliver Richters, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen are also in the sequel.

Steven Spielberg directed Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. All of these movies starred Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.

James Mangold, who made the movies Walk the Line in 2005 and Logan in 2017, is in charge of the new film. Spielberg and George Lucas are both in charge of making movies.

In September, when Ford spoke at the D23 Expo and showed fans footage from the sequel, he got emotional. “Thank you for making these movies so great for all of us to watch. I’m happy to say that this one is great, “he told Variety at the time.

“It was hard, took a long time, and was hard to shoot. But I’m very happy with the movie we have,” he said. Later, when asked what made him want to come back, he said, “I just thought it would be nice to see one where Indiana Jones’s journey was over. If a script came along that I thought gave me a way to make the character bigger, I would take it.”

Director Mangold told Empire, “It became really important to me to figure out how to make this a movie about a hero at sunset. I brought up issues about Indy’s age that I didn’t think were being dealt with in the material that was being made at the time. There were ‘old’ jokes, but the material itself wasn’t about it. From my point of view, you should head straight for your biggest risk. If you try to pretend it’s not there, you end up getting slings and arrows the whole way.”

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is in theatres June 30.
