Zack Sharf Digital News Director Steven Spielberg has seen “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the fifth installment in the long-running adventure franchise and, notably, the first entry not to be directed by Spielberg himself. “The Wolverine” and “Ford v Ferrari” director James Mangold took over filmmaking duties on “Dial of Destiny.” Anyone worried a Spielberg-less “Indiana Jones” movie might not deliver the goods can now rest easy, as Spielberg himself loved the latest sequel. “I just had that experience two nights ago,” Spielberg said at the Time 100 Summit when asked what it’s like watching an “Indiana Jones” movie he didn’t direct. “Bob Iger had a screening for a lot of the Disney executives and I came to the screening along with the director James Mangold.

Everybody loved the movie. It’s really, really a good Indiana Jones film. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.” Spielberg added, “When the lights came up I just turned to the group and said, ‘Damn!

I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one of these.” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” picks up with Harris Ford’s famed archeologist in the late 1960s as he drawn back into an adventure to stop the reemergence of Nazis.

The supporting cast includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen and Antonio Banderas. The film is the first “Indiana Jones” movie since the Spielberg-directed “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which grossed $790 million worldwide in 2008.
