80-year-old Harrison Ford will appear as he did in the initial Indiana Jones films. In Indy 5, Harrison Ford will be made younger to fight the Nazis. In the first scene, he will become younger. Indy and the Nazis will be seen battling in a castle in 1944. The director, James Mangold, claims that the action then jumps to 1969. Kathleen Kennedy, who produces for Lucasfilm, hopes that fans won’t be preoccupied with the de-aging process.

Harrison Ford also made a comment about how his aging seemed a little unsettling. He claimed that seeing himself de-aged in the movie was a little spooky.

The movie will release in 2023. 

Let’s have a look at some of the movies that have used de-aging technology brilliantly:

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (2018)

The special effects were a deciding factor in whether or not the movie would succeed because it centers around a character who has a particular condition that causes him to age backward.

The filmmaker David Finch used amazing anti-aging methods. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button contains some of the best effects that are mostly unmatched, even more than a decade later, despite being one of the first movies to do so.

It: Chapter 2 (2019)

It movie is one of the best Stephen King adaptations it follows a group of kids, and its sequel follows those same characters decades later. Kids physically mature very early in a year, therefore some de-aging was necessary to make them appear as they did in the first movie. It: The usage of de-aging in Chapter 2 is possibly the best ever, as the effect is completely undetectable even when viewers actively search for it.

Ant-Man And The Wasp (2018)

One of the best aspects of the film is Michael Douglas’ outstanding late-career performance as Hank Pym, who serves as Scott Lang’s tutor in Ant-Man. It was a blast from the past to see the actor seem 20+ years younger in the first movie since it seemed that the actor’s career peaked in the 1990s. Along with Douglas, Michael Pfeiffer was also de-aged in the movie. 

The Irishman (2019)

The Irishman was a significant experiment on de-ageing and it uses the technique to its fullest than any other film. It can be startling at times because Frank (Robert De Niro) doesn’t always appear as he does in the movie when he is the youngest, but on the other hand, Jimmy’s (Al Pacino) and Russell’s (Joe Pesci) younger selves are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

In Captain America: Civil War, Tony Stark and his relationship with his parents receive a lot of attention. As Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) explains some cutting-edge technology in a class, a scene between him and his parents from decades before plays out in a semi-flashback sequence.

The scene is not only moving, but the outcome of a teenage Tony is also powerful, demonstrating that Civil War is about more than simply the exciting battle scenes.
