Premise
In 1944, American archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones helps colleague Basil Shaw against Jürgen Voller, a Nazi, from obtaining a mysterious dial known as the Antikythera. Twenty-five years later in 1969, Jones is uneasy over the fact that the U.S. government has recruited former Nazis to help beat the Soviet Union in the competition to make it to space. He has become rather embittered for his wife Marion is divorcing him and he is about to be forced into retirement from his teaching position. His goddaughter, Basil’s daughter Helena Shaw, accompanies him on his journey for the Dial. Meanwhile, Voller, now a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved with the Apollo Moon-landing program, wishes to make the world into a better place as he sees fit.
Cast
- Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, the world-renowned globe-trotting archaeologist and college professor. Mangold considers Jones “a phenomenally unique hero” and a “brilliant nerd who is also a badass”.
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena Shaw, Jones’ goddaughter. Mangold identifies Helena as the “catalyst” of the film, kicking off the film’s plot after dragging her godfather into a problem of hers. The filmmakers described the character as a “slippery, charming, the girl next door, a grifter”, a “pioneer in ethical accounting” and similar to comedic characters with “machine-gun” dialogue akin to those of Ben Hecht‘s plays. She is the daughter of an old friend of Indy’s who hasn’t been shown before.
- Mads Mikkelsen as Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi during World War II who has been hired by NASA and seeks to use the Apollo moon landing program for his own gain. Mikkelsen felt that Voller is a man who would like to “correct” some mistakes of the past with the film’s MacGuffin to make the world “a much better place to live in”, pitting him against Indy as he wishes to retrieve the artifact as well.
- Antonio Banderas as Renaldo, an old friend of Indy who captains boats. Banderas claimed that his character is not a villain but a “good guy” who would “die” for Indiana Jones. He enjoyed working with Ford, Mangold and Steven Spielberg, who co-produced his previous film The Mask of Zorro. Banderas also pointed out that his role as Renaldo veers more into a cameo appearance than a pivotal part in the plot, providing Indy and his party the assistance they need, but he nonetheless felt grateful to be part of the franchise.
- John Rhys-Davies as Sallah, Jones’ old friend who aided in finding the Ark of the Covenant in 1936 and the Holy Grail in 1938.
- Shaunette Renée Wilson as Mason, a US government agent. Wilson felt that her character’s government connections fit into the story in a similar way to how the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency recruited black agents to infiltrate the Black Panther Party in the 1960s.
- Thomas Kretschmann as Colonel Weber, a Nazi working with Voller in 1944.
- Toby Jones as Basil Shaw, an ally of Jones from his days at World War II and Helena’s father, who was obsessed over the Dial of Destiny.
- Boyd Holbrook as Klaber, Voller’s nefarious right-hand man in 1969. Holbrook described Klaber as Voller’s lapdog, “and a very crazy one at that”.
- Ethann Isidore as Teddy, Helena’s sidekick.
- Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, Jones’ wife
- Olivier Richters as Hauke, a henchman of Voller
- Mark Killeen as a henchman of Voller.
