“I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers,” Mangold recently said.

“Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine.”

He added: “When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can’t help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself.”
