The series’ fifth installment, to be directed by James
Mangold (“Ford v Ferrari”) has been billed as 78-year-old Ford’s final film as
the hero archaeologist.
The “new adventure” will feature a “dream team of all-time
great filmmakers” including producers Steven Spielberg -- who was initially due
to direct -- and Kathleen Kennedy, said Mangold in a statement to AFP.
“When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative
voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can’t help but
feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself,” Mangold added.
The casting caps a remarkable rise for British actor and
writer Waller-Bridge, 35, who won multiple Emmys for “Fleabag,” the smash-hit
TV adaptation of her one-woman show about a disillusioned young singleton in
London.
