Mangold revealed that the movie will start with a thrilling 25-minute action scene set in 1944. During this scene, Harrison Ford is supposed to look as young as he did in Raiders of the Lost Ark. To achieve this, they used special effects with VFX (Visual Effects) to make him appear younger, a process known as “de-aging.”
Indiana Jones Remains Active
According to Mangold, they had close-ups, medium shots, and wide shots and were filmed during both day and night. Surprisingly, despite being in his 80s, Harrison Ford remained agile and acted like he was 35 during the filming of the scene.

Mangold praised Ford’s performance and explained that the technology used for the de-aging process was quite impressive. “I just shot him, and he just pretended that he was 35,” Mangold explained. “But the technology involved is a whole other thing.”
Ford on His Retirement
During a press conference at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, he joked, saying, “I need to sit down and rest a little bit.” After shooting the series, Ford shared his thoughts on his character, saying, “I wanted to see the weight of life on him. I wanted to see him require reinvention. I wanted him to have a relationship that wasn’t a flirty movie relationship.”
