Shia Labeouf Won't Return for 'Indiana Jones 5'


When Indiana Jones 5 finally swings into theaters in 2020, Shia Labeouf won’t be a part of Steven Spielberg’s action-adventure sequel.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" ended with the tease that Shia Labeouf‘s character, Henry "Mutt" Jones III, may take up his father’s job as a globe-trotting, whip-slinging archeologist. But David Koepp, screenwriter for the fifth "Indiana Jones" movie, says his script will be 100 percent Mutt-free.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Koepp said that the next Indy film will have the same format as the others — with Harrison Ford playing Indy as he searches for an artifact with immense power — but noted that "the Shia Labeouf character is not in the film."
