Indiana Jones 5 director James Mangold has hinted the movie will follow Indy into the 1960s.

"The Velvet Underground are fucking great. That's it. That's my tweet," Mangold wrote on Twitter. He added, "(Note -- I'm mentally living in 60's NYC right now cause that's where all the movies I'm working on take place.)" However, he did not reveal if that means Indiana Jones 5 will place partly or fully in the '60s, if at all.

In addition to Indiana Jones 5, Mangold is attached to helm a Bob Dylan biopic that focuses on the period where the iconic singer/songwriter changed the sound of his music after switching from an acoustic guitar to an electric one in the mid-'60s. He also directed Ford v Ferrari, a film that dramatized Ford's attempt to defeat Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans car race.

The most recent Indiana Jones movie, 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, took place in 1957. In doing so, it reflected the passing of time in the real-world between the film and the release of the third installment, 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Should Indiana Jones 5 do the same thing when it arrives in 2022, it ought to pick up in 1971 -- unless Mangold decides to set it a little earlier in the late '60s, instead.

Indiana Jones 5 was announced for a Summer 2019 theatrical release in 2016, with Steven Spielberg directing and David Koepp writing the script. However, the film kept being delayed after that and ended up going through a handful of different writers. Finally, in Feb. 2020, Mangold took over as both writer and director, with Spielberg stepping down to serve as an executive producer only.

In June 2020, Koepp confirmed Mangold will be using his own script for Indiana Jones 5, rather than drawing from one of Koepp's earlier screenplay drafts. "When James Mangold came in... he deserves a chance to take his shot at it. I'd done several versions with Steven [Spielberg]," Koepp said. "And when Steven left, it seemed like the right time to let Jim have his own take on it and have his own person or himself write it."

Directed and written by James Mangold and starring Harrison Ford, the currently untitled fifth Indiana Jones film is set to be released on July 29, 2022.
