Indiana Jones 5?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star Boyd Holbrook defends the film's wild ending, which has proven somewhat controversial. Directed by James Mangold, the new sequel serves as Harrison Ford's fifth and final time playing the intrepid archeologist. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny follows Indy as he quests after Archimedes' Antikythera device, with the climax involving the hero traveling back in time to 212 BCE to the Siege of Syracuse.

Now, Holbrook, who plays villainous henchman Klaber, defends the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ending. In a recent interview with THR, the actor argues that the ending feels "earned" and praises Mangold's thoughtful approach to it. Check out Holbrook's full comment below:


“I thought it was a bold, earned choice. It’s so cleverly speckled in throughout the film. Those seeds are planted, and it’s preparing you for it, subliminally. You don’t really know it until it’s happening and it’s so elegantly done that it’s not farcical whatsoever. It bottlenecks to a really touching moment where you feel that Indiana has earned this moment and wants to stay. When I saw it, I was surprised that it grabbed me by the throat. I was a little emotional even though I’m so close to it.”

The Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ending is a big swing and, while some critics praised the bold choice, it proved to be a little too much for others. On the surface, the decision to travel back in time to 212 BCE does seem like a fairly significant departure from what the franchise is known for, but it's not actually without precedent.

As Mangold himself has argued, "the relic always defines the third act" of every movie in the Indiana Jones franchise, "and the power of the relic always defines the magic of the movie." In Raiders of the Lost Ark, for example, the titular Ark of the Covenant is the relic Indy is questing after, and the third act sees this relic quite literally unleash the power of God to destroy the Nazis that Ford's hero has been facing off against throughout the film...............
