Indiana Jones 5 has pulled off one of the surprise casting coups of the year: Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Set to co-lead the upcoming blockbuster opposite franchise icon Harrison Ford, the Killing Eve writer's involvement was announced on the movie's Twitter page on Friday (April 9).
"A new #IndianaJones adventure begins July 29, 2022. Phoebe Waller-Bridge joins the cast alongside Harrison Ford in the fifth installment of the iconic franchise. The inimitable John Williams will also return to score the film," the post read.
Logan and Ford v Ferrari director James Mangold takes over from Steven Spielberg on this one and plans to kick off production sometime in the summer.
Plot details remain unknown at the moment, while it's also unspecified who Waller-Bridge will actually play – many are wondering whether she will be tempted to break the fourth wall, as she did in Fleabag.
Meanwhile, it's wonderful to learn that Williams is returning to score Indie's cinematic swansong, after working on each of the previous four instalments.
Waller-Bridge is picking up a habit of working on momentous projects – later this year she'll receive a writing credit on Daniel Craig's final James Bond flick No Time to Die.
Back in February, it was also confirmed that she'll reunite with Solo co-star Donald Glover for a TV reboot of Mr & Mrs Smith.
Indiana Jones 5 is scheduled for release on 29 July, 2022.
