10 Reasons Why Another Indiana Jones Movie Is A Great Idea

2) The Fresh Period Setting Will Add A Whole New Dynamic To The Series

Considering the era moves on with Indiana Jones as he ages – in Crystal Skull, he went from the 1930s and the dawn of Nazism to the 1950s and the beginning of the Cold War – we should expect Indiana 5 to be set in a different period once again.

2007’s Crystal Skull was 1957, so 2019’s Indiana Jones 5 will likely be set in the late 60s. A time of free love and the counterculture, of America and the world changing beyond recognition.

This, obviously, will add a whole new dynamic to the Indy franchise. Though Crystal Skull‘s late 50s setting didn’t necessarily agree with the series, Spielberg has form in the 60s, with Catch Me If You Can and the latter half of Bridge of Spies.

Imagine Indiana Jones in the time of Mad Men and it opens a door to all sorts of possibilities. Indy in Vietnam? Indy on the Moon? Indy jamming with The Beatles? Hopefully not on all counts, but so much is still possible at this point.
