Indy fans are understandably dubious about the upcoming fifth Indiana Jones<\/strong><\/em> movie, after the bitter disappointment of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull<\/em>. Harrison Ford isn\u2019t getting any younger<\/a> and the longer the producers deliberate over the script, the less necessary another Indiana Jones<\/em><\/a> movie seems. When it was announced that Steven Spielberg was stepping down from the director\u2019s chair, that skepticism grew. Spielberg\u2019s directorial vision contributed as much to Indy\u2019s classic adventures as George Lucas\u2019 storytelling, John Williams\u2019 music, and maybe even Harrison Ford\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

But since Indiana Jones 5<\/em> promises to definitively conclude the series after Crystal Skull<\/em> left it open-ended, the fact that Lucasfilm has tapped Logan<\/em> director James Mangold to replace Spielberg as the film\u2019s director does provide some semblance of hope. With the right script (which is apparently the toughest nut to crack with an Indiana Jones<\/em> movie<\/a>), Mangold can give Indy the same kind of swansong he gave Hugh Jackman\u2019s Wolverine with a sense of finality and a poignant portrait of an aging icon.<\/p>\n

When Mangold started working with Jackman on 2013\u2019s The Wolverine<\/em>, the actor had been playing the role for over a decade. In giving his stint\u00a0as Wolverine a grand finale, Mangold used all the traumas the character had amassed over the course of the X-Men<\/em> series<\/a> and presented them as emotional baggage keeping him up at night. Mangold\u2019s Wolvie is rough around the edges. He drinks a lot, avoids making attachments after losing a few too many loved ones, and even confesses to contemplating suicide with an adamantium bullet before finding purpose in saving the next generation of mutants. The older Indy in Indiana Jones 5<\/em> doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be as hard-edged as Logan<\/em>\u2019s Wolverine \u2013 and it definitely shouldn\u2019t be R-rated; this is a fun, lighthearted series of PG-13 actioners \u2013 but Indy might be facing a similar identity crisis at the tail end of a lifetime of liberating artifacts that belong in a museum (or in the hands of \u201ctop men\u201d).<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The big question is: will Indy die in Indiana Jones 5<\/em>? Being the final movie in Indy\u2019s on-screen arc would suggest that, like Tony Stark in Endgame<\/em> or Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi<\/em> or indeed Wolverine in Logan<\/em>, he won\u2019t survive to the end credits. But killing off Indiana Jones would certainly be a bold undertaking. This isn\u2019t Star Wars<\/em> with its Shakespearean underpinnings<\/a> or the MCU with its cosmic genocide \u2013 it\u2019s Indiana Jones<\/em>, a series of light, fun, pulp-inspired action-adventures. The death of Indiana Jones would be one of the trickiest moments to pull off in film history. He\u2019s a beloved cinematic icon who\u2019s survived countless scrapes with death. Killing off Indiana Jones would be like killing off James Bond or Batman (which Christopher Nolan might have done, depending on your interpretation of The Dark Knight Rises<\/em>).<\/p>\n

If the producers do decide to boldly kill off Indy at the end of his latest adventure, they\u2019re in pretty safe hands with James Mangold. Wolverine isn\u2019t quite on the same level as Indy as a movie icon, but he certainly has Indy-level status as a comic book hero, and Mangold nailed his death scene in Logan<\/em><\/a>. Being killed by a clone of his younger self offered a poignant layer of symbolism, Hugh Jackman played both roles impeccably, and after the story built a tangible bond between Laura and her father, their final moments together resonate much more than the dramatic scenes found in\u00a0the average comic book movie. Wolverine\u2019s solemn funeral, attended by the new generation of mutants he sacrificed himself to save, inspired by a powerful scene from Shane<\/em>, was a fitting ending for this character\u2019s long, record-breaking on-screen journey.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If Indiana Jones 5<\/em> doesn\u2019t kill off Indy, it can still have a sense of finality. Last Crusade<\/em> already gave the Indiana Jones<\/em> franchise its perfect conclusion \u2013 acknowledged by Steven Spielberg himself before he went and made a fourth one \u2013 with Indy, his father, and his closest friends riding off into the sunset, having given up on the quest for the Holy Grail and realized what really matters. What Indiana Jones 5<\/em> needs to do is show Indy at the end of his road<\/a>. Crystal Skull<\/em> took a few meta jabs at his old age, but he was still fit to fight another day. Indiana Jones 5<\/em> should catch up with Indy when he\u2019s only got one more adventure in him. Logan<\/em> didn\u2019t shy away from portraying Wolverine\u2019s deteriorating health and the lasting damage of each fight scene. Mangold can subvert Indy\u2019s pulpy plot-armor invincibility in the same way he subverted Logan\u2019s literal invincibility.<\/p>\n

Ever since Mangold signed on to direct Indiana Jones 5<\/em><\/a>, fans have been speculating about what elements from Logan<\/em> he\u2019ll reuse in his Indiana Jones<\/em> movie and the truth is, he doesn\u2019t need to copy anything specific from Logan<\/em> \u2013 in fact, he should probably actively avoid it. Logan<\/em> was the perfect story for Wolverine;\u00a0Indiana Jones 5<\/em> needs to tell the perfect story for Indy. But\u00a0Mangold should still approach Indy\u2019s final adventure with the same sense of melancholic conclusiveness he brought to Wolverine\u2019s last stand.<\/p>\n
