Harrison Ford is taking a hiatus from filming “Indiana Jones 5” after sustaining a shoulder injury on set.
Disney confirmed Wednesday that Harrison Ford injured his
shoulder on the set of Indiana Jones 5, which is currently in production.
"In the course of rehearsing for a fight scene,
Harrison Ford sustained an injury involving his shoulder," a Disney
spokesperson told Variety.
Disney added, however, that the sequel's production
"will continue while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated, and
the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks."
The extent of the injury isn't yet known, Deadline writes, but according to
Variety, director James Mangold will continue shooting without Ford.
The 78-year-old actor, of course, is no stranger to on-set
injuries, having famously broken his leg during an accident on Star Wars: The
Force Awakens, which forced production to be stopped for two weeks.
He also sustained a back injury on Indiana Jones and the
Temple of Doom, The Hollywood Reporter notes. Production on the Indiana Jones
sequel began in the United Kingdom this month, and after facing multiple
delays, it's scheduled for release in July 2022.
