After five films, the Indiana Jones saga seems to have come to an end with “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”. Though the cast and surprising twists dominated conversations around “Dial of Destiny,” a lawsuit unexpectedly brought Indiana Jones 5 back into the limelight.

An Unexpected Indiana Jones 5 Lawsuit

The Hollywood Reporter uncovered a lawsuit Thursday between Lucasfilm and Frost River, a Minnesota clothing company. Frost River claims that their Geologist Pack backpack was used in “Dial of Destiny” without their permission.

The lawsuit claims that Lucasfilm removed all identifying marks from the bag that Indiana Jones uses in the film. Moreover, no one would have authorized this use of the product. The Indiana Jones 5 lawsuit also involves the presence of promotional sequences with another brand. This time it is a textile company named Filson.

Misleading

In particular, the complaint cites a 60-second advertisement showing the Frost River Geologist Pack. This ad may falsely suggest to viewers that the backpack was made by Filson.

“Lucasfilm and Filson produced a 60-second commercial. This ad features video clips from the movie Indiana Jones 5. These are interspersed with video clips of actors using Filson’s own products”.

So writes Devin McRae, attorney for Frost River, in the complaint. “Surprisingly, one of the intermixed video clips was Indiana Jones 5 with the Frost River Geologist Pack. »

Harrison Ford’s farewell to Indiana Jones

As Ford confirmed several times before “Dial of Fate”, this would be his last appearance as Indi. However, he hoped to leave in style. “I don’t really want to give them what they want to see,” he said in a 2020 interview.

I want to give them something they don’t expect to see. Personally, I think they’re used to a degree of disappointment when they revisit. The Marvel movies provided a spectacular example of success that worked the other way. They succeeded. »

Well, we won’t do another Indiana Jones unless we can pull it off. We want it to be the best. So we have some scheduling issues to deal with. Additionally, a few storyline elements require special attention. However, we are determined to get it right before we do it.

One last epic adventure

The iconic Harrison Ford has returned for one last adventure as Indiana Jones in “Dial of Destiny.” The film debuted in theaters on June 30. Lucasfilm’s latest in the long-running franchise sees Dr. Jones team up with his goddaughter Helena Shaw.

They race once morest malevolent forces to secure a powerful artifact. The duo will face the enigmatic scientist Jürgen Voller, former Nazi turned NASA scientist.

Too bad that a lawsuit on Indiana Jones 5 comes to tarnish the last film of our hero. Despite everything, the sequences are successful and Harrison Ford can be proud of his last performance as Indi.
