There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding the lineup of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and it seems one of the year’s most anticipated blockbusters will premiere in Cannes. Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny is eyeing the world premiere at one of Europe’s most prestigious film festivals.
Nothing is official just yet, but Disney and Lucasfilm are determined to get The Dial of Destiny into the lineup. According to Variety, the film is most likely looking at a day 2 (May 17) or day 3 (May 18) premiere, but Cannes officials are yet to lock down the official date with the studio.
This would be somewhat of a full-circle moment for the beloved adventure franchise since the last Indiana Jones film The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull also had its world premiere in Cannes, where it received a four-minute standing ovation back in 2008.
Following its Cannes premiere, The Dial of Destiny is expected to hit the theatres on June 30. Expectations are running high since it took $295 million to finish the movie in the face of several production delays and director changes.
Harrison Ford will return as our favorite globe-trotting archaeologist for the fifth and final time, and he’ll be joined by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, and Mads Mikkelsen.
