Harrison Ford, 79, ‘returns to filming Indiana Jones 5’

Harrison Ford has reportedly returned to filming Indiana Jones 5 three months after he was forced to pull out over a shoulder injury.

According to The Sun, the actor, 79, was seen filming the upcoming blockbuster in Buckinghamshire on Monday.

Harrison had to undergo surgery on his shoulder following his injury at Pinewood Studios, with the crew using a stand-in for crowd scenes during his absence.

A source told the publication: ‘Everyone’s relieved to see him back and fighting fit.

‘It’s been a long ten-week wait for him and the crew. Filming has been held up but hopefully now it can get back on track.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Harrison Ford for comment.

Harrison remained in the UK while he recuperated from his shoulder injury and was spotted out and about in London on several occasions during the summer.

The movie star has filmed the movie in London, Glasgow and North Yorkshire.

The fifth and final Indiana Jones movie was originally due for release in 2022, however that was before filming was pushed back by three months due to Harrison’s injury. 

It’s been a fresh blow for the movie – which sees James Mangold taking on directing duties from long-time helmer Steven Spielberg – after shooting was previously pushed back as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

An insider told The Sun’s Bizarre column because it’s Harrison’s last outing as Indiana, everybody was expecting it to be plain sailing.

They said: ‘After the initial delays everyone was raring to go. But now Harrison is injured and it is worse than first thought.

‘The film’s bosses have come together to work out the scheduling and it’s chaos. The earliest they think they can restart the production is September.

‘It was not what anyone was expecting so to have to change everything is a huge blow. Everyone was concerned for Harrison and they are glad he is on the mend.’

Raiders Of The Lost Ark director Steven Spielberg famously branded himself ‘an idiot’ for allowing Harrison to do his own stunts, including one where the starring actor had to outrun a prop weighing 300 pounds.
