‘Indiana Jones’ star Karen Allen disappointed about role in ‘Dial of Destiny’
Indiana Jones franchise, “Dial of Destiny,” finally swung its way into theaters late last month.While series stars such as Harrison Ford and John Rhys-Davies came back for large portion of the action-adventure flick, one returning alum only had a sliver of time on the silver screen.Karen Allen — who portrays Indy’s longtime love Marion Ravenwood — made a quick, blink-and-you-missed-it cameo appearance at the end of the 154-minutes-long movie.The 71-year-old got candid with the Hollywood Reporter recently and expressed her disappointment with her lack of camera time.She previously had larger parts in 2008’s “Crystal Skull” and 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”Allen admitted that when she read the script for “Dial of Destiny,” she had expected that she would play a major role.However, she noted that it “was just not the direction” that the producers decided to go with.In the franchise, Marion and Indy have a son together, named Mutt Williams. Mutt was played by Shia LaBeouf in “Crystal Skull” and did not return for the latest film in the series.LaBeouf’s character actually died before the movie’s events (which occurred in the late 1960s).Allen explained how the filmmakers had issues with the story because LaBeouf, 37, was not making a comeback, and they had the character killed off-screen in the Vietnam War.

Does ‘Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny’ have a post-credits scene?
Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has arrived in cinemas – but should you remain seated for the credits?The latest offering marks the fifth and final instalment of the franchise, and sees acting legend Harrison Ford reprise his role as the daring adventurer.With the first part of the movie being set in 1944, Dial Of Destiny kicks off with the whip-cracking archaeologist looking to retrieve one half of the Antikythera – an ancient dial built by Archimedes – from a Nazi scientist (played by Mads Mikkelsen).The remainder of the film ventures forward to 1969, where Jones partners up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) to locate and retrieve the other half, and potentially alter the course of history.The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, but fans will still be curious to know if a post-credits scene teases future possibilities for the franchise.Unlike other Disney titles, this Indy offering doesn’t feature a post-credits or mid-credits scene. So once the film ends, you’re safe to leave.The lack of any teasers perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Ford himself has made it clear on numerous occasions that this is his final outing as Indiana Jones.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.

But is this the last time we’ll see the actor in that legendary fedora?The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, and Ford himself has confirmed on a number of occasions that he is now finished with the role.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.

Harrison Ford reveals reason for 15-year ‘Indiana Jones’ sequel gap
final installment of the long-running franchise to include Ford, 80, is titled “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and is set to be released on June 30.The star explained to Digital Spy in a recent interview why there is a 15-year gap between the fourth and fifth films.He noted that the studio wasn’t clamoring to release another flick so soon after “Crystal Skull” debuted.“Well, it wasn’t as though we sat around for 10 years waiting to come up with an idea,” Ford said.  “When we finished the last film, I don’t think anybody thought about going and doing another film for some time,” he added.The length of time between the last two movies could also be attributed to “Crystal Skull’s” not-so-good reviews.While it was regarded as 2008’s second highest-grossing film and took in about $790 million, it holds a 53% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.Critics’ reviews were mixed, with one person even calling it “the most lifeless of the series” and “simply [not] a very good motion picture.”Ford continued to tell the entertainment news outlet that “there were some interesting ideas that were floated” for a fifth movie over the last few years, however, producers weren’t too keen about them.“And then we found an idea, and a script, and a strong story that we wanted to tell,” he gushed about “Dial of Destiny.” “Dial of Destiny” takes place in the mid-1960s with Indiana joining his goddaughter Helena Shaw (played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge) as they go on a quest to find a dial that can change history.“The Wolverine” director James Mangold is helming the feature and it also stars the talents of Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore and Mads Mikkelsen.Ford was also digitally de-aged for the flick, as the new story
