Following its out-of-competition world premiere this evening at the Cannes Film Festival, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was treated to a five-minute standing ovation as the audience inside the festival’s Grand Théâtre Lumière.

The franchise’s star Harrison Ford, who has said this will be his last time playing the iconic Indiana Jones and who received an honorary Palme’ d’Or to kick off the ceremony tonight, was visibly moved by the reaction to the film, which Disney and Lucasfilm premiered ahead of its late June theatrical release around the world.Harrison Ford is visibly moved from the reception of #IndianaJones #Cannes2023 pic.twitter.com/erLhJ20xAe The ovation began right as the credits rolled on the pic, with the crowd standing when the lights came up.

They only stopped when director James Mangold was handed a mic to address the audience. “Merci, I just wanted to say thank you, thank you so much for having us here,” he said, noting he first appeared at Cannes with the film Heavy in Directors’ Fortnight. “One thing that was true then and true now is that this film was made by friends. … It’s hard probably for you to believe that a movie this big can be made by friends, but it was,” he added, choking up. “It was made out of love, it was made out of devotion to what came before it, and it was made with tremendous trust from all these people.”James Mangold on how #IndianaJones was made out of love #Cannes2023 pic.twitter.com/LU7bZBKXlA On hand for the celebration were the film’s stars Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen and Mangold, along with producer Kathleen Kennedy, Disney boss Bob Iger, Ford’s wife actress Calista Flockhart and more.
