Indiana Jones 5 setting: When does Indiana Jones 5 take place? Steven Spielberg confirms

Indiana Jones 5 is currently filming across the UK and with Harrison Ford now aged 79, some fans have been wondering when the blockbuster takes place. After all, set photos have shown the Hollywood star with dots on his face suggesting he’ll be de-aged. While actors dressed in Nazi uniform have been spotted alongside World War II-era vehicles with swastika flags.
Looking back, the original Indiana Jones trilogy was filmed in the 1980s, but set in the mid-to-late 1930s.
Then when Ford returned for 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the action took place in 1957.
Now Indiana Jones 5 is set for a 2022 release when the star will be 80, so surely it must be in the late 1960s or early 1970s?
Luckily, Steven Spielberg, who directed the first four movies and is producing the fifth, has previously confirmed the new film’s setting.
