Fantastic news has been announced for fans of the popular Indiana Jones series! John Williams, the much-lauded composer, has been confirmed to return for the fifth installment of Indiana Jones and we received a casting update as well.

Williams composed the iconic original theme song, “The Raiders March.” He has worked on every score in the 40-year-old Indiana Jones franchise.

Also announced was the addition of Phoebe Waller-Bridge to the cast (Fleabag, Solo: A Star Wars Story). Waller-Bridge co-star alongside Harrison Ford, everyone’s favorite fedora-wearing, whip-slinging archaeologist.
