Harrison Ford reprized his much-loved role as Indiana Jones in the newly released trailer for the upcoming movie Indiana Jones and the Wheel of Fortune, which aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl.
In the clip, the 80-year-old actor portrayed the adventurer who, with the help of his goddaughter Helena Shaw, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, set out to stop an evil scientist.
The actor, who recently opened up about his collaboration with Helen Mirren, will star in the adventure flick alongside fellow cast members Mads Mikkelsen and Boyd Holbrook.
The trailer begins with Jones meeting Jürgen Voller and his henchman Klaber, and the former inquiring if the scientist is “still a Nazi”.
After an aging Jones hits an attacker while riding on a train, he hops onto a horse and rides through a parade while being pursued by Voller’s right hand.

The adventurer later reunites with his longtime friend Sallah, played by John Rhys-Davies, who encourages him to “bring the hell out of them”.
The professor eventually finds his way onto a plane, where he is joined by Shaw, who snuck onto the plane to save it from a group of assailants.
The trailer ends after Jones and his goddaughter jump out of the plane and head towards the sea.
Development of the fifth Indiana Jones feature film spanned several decades, although it was confirmed that the project was not in production until 2016.

However, the industry legend stepped down from his role in 2020, though he stayed on as a producer.
James Mangold, who previously worked with Ford on Call of the Wild, later took over as director.
The filmmaker co-wrote the film’s screenplay with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth.
