Indiana Jones 5 has added two more actors to its growing cast ahead of the start of filming.
Per a report from Deadline, Boyd Holbrook and Shaunette Renée Wilson have joined the film’s cast in as-yet unknown roles. Indiana Jones 5 will mark a reunion for Holbrook and director James Mangold, who previously worked together on the 2017 X-Men drama Logan. Holbrook is also known for starring on the series Narcos and will play The Corinthian in Netflix’s TV adaptation of The Sandman comic books.
For Wilson, Indiana Jones 5 will serve as her second tentpole after 2018’s Black Panther, in which she played a member of Wakanda’s Dora Milaje circa 1992. She is also known for her recurring roles on the series Billions and The Resident.

Holbrook and Wilson are just the latest names to join Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones 5 cast, along with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen and his fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe alum Thomas Kretschmann. Mangold is planning to begin production on the film this summer, in order to make the movie’s scheduled 2022 release date. He will be joined behind the camera by John Williams, who scored the first four Indiana Jones films and will once again compose the music for the character’s latest outing.
In a first for the franchise, Steven Spielberg will pass on helming Indiana Jones 5 in favor of serving as an executive producer only. All the same, he’s reported to be playing an active role in the movie’s creative development, along with producers Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel. Kennedy, who is also the President of Lucasfilm, announced the fifth Indiana Jones film would “conclude this iconic character’s journey” at Disney’s Investor Day presentation in Dec. 2020. Beyond that, however, plot details are unknown for the time being.
“I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers,” said Mangold, shortly after casting got officially underway. “Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine.”
Directed by James Mangold and written by Mangold, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth, Indiana Jones 5 stars Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook and Shaunette Renée Wilson. The film arrives in theaters July 29, 2022.
