Harrison Ford's return to another iconic franchise is nearing, so when will the Indiana Jones 5 trailer release online? The wait to see official footage from the highly-secretive sequel has been very long due to Indiana Jones' repeated delays. This has not stopped anticipation from mounting as audiences eagerly wait to see Harrison Ford's final appearance as Indiana Jones. But there has not been much promotion beyond a few images from the film so far. With the June 2023 release date nearing, it should be time for an Indiana Jones 5 trailer.
As for when the first Indiana Jones 5 trailer will be released, director James Mangold confirmed that audiences are less than 30 days away from seeing the footage as of November 13, 2022. That means that the trailer will arrive by mid-December at the very latest, just in time for Disney to put the trailer in theaters before James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water. There is no official answer for when the Indiana Jones 5 trailer will release, though, so it could come sooner than later. Disney and Lucasfilm could drop a Thanksgiving surprise by sharing the first footage now that the movie has started to grace the cover of magazines.
What To Expect From Indiana Jones 5’s Trailer
When the new Indiana Jones 5 trailer releases online, it should be expected that the footage will include a heavy dose of Harrison Ford. The movie is meant to be the final appearance for the franchise star, so putting Ford and Indy's iconic look at the center of the early marketing is understandable. This could include some surprising developments for audiences, as footage previously shown by Disney at D23 2022 included a de-aged Indiana Jones. Since this element is already known, the first Indiana Jones 5 trailer likely will not hide it from the public.
It could also be expected that the Indiana Jones 5 trailer will at least tease some other elements from the sequel. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's new characters will likely be seen considering how prominent of a role she has to play in the new film. And even though the Indiana Jones 5 trailer might be more of a mood-setter filled with gorgeous shots, the teaser can still provide some teases of Indiana Jones' last mission.
Why Indiana Jones 5 Has Taken So Long
The release of the Indiana Jones 5 trailer in 2022 comes over six years after Lucasfilm first announced the sequel. It was originally announced for a 2019 release date, but that was before Indiana Jones 5 lost Steven Spielberg as its director. His busy schedule and eventual exit forced the movie to miss this date and a planned 2020 release. More delays then came due to complications with COVID-19 during production and Disney's crammed release slate. As a result, the Indiana Jones 5 delays have only made fans even more anxious to see the first footage of Harrison Ford's final appearance in the franchise.
