This summer movie season has been incredibly successful, and it’s poised to elevate with the forthcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The fifth and conclusive chapter in the Indiana Jones series featuring Harrison Ford will premiere in theaters next week. The movie has been greatly awaited, with Dial of Destiny’s promotion effectively emphasizing the significant conclusion of this timeless action-adventure saga. With only days left before audiences globally embark on their cinematic adventure, a new TV advertisement for Dial of Destiny reveals Ford and co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge tackling a familiar Indiana Jones challenge.
The 30-second teaser predominantly reveals pre-existing footage of Indy and his goddaughter Helena (Waller-Bridge) searching a tomb for clues to the mythical Dial of Destiny’s whereabouts. However, a few fresh shots of Ford’s experienced adventurer, along with extra dialog fragments, are sprinkled throughout. The real attention-grabber of this latest teaser is its final new scene. Here, Indy and Helena struggle to squeeze through a narrow wall opening, only to be showered by a swarm of bugs, much to Helena’s horror, who channels her inner Willie Scott from Temple of Doom.
VIDEO OF THE DAY FROM COLLIDER
The Indiana Jones franchise often favors snakes as their creature of choice, but dedicated fans will recognize the series’ penchant for incorporating at least one gross-out moment with other frightful critters in each film. These have varied from the aforementioned snakes in Raiders of the Lost Ark, bugs in Temple of Doom, rats in Last Crusade, and ants in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This specific scene in Dial of Destiny seems to echo the disturbing insects from Temple of Doom. The grimmer second film featured a scene where Indy is caught in a lethal trap. It appears Indy and Helena may encounter a comparable predicament in the upcoming adventure. Dial of Destiny promises to be a thrilling tribute to the entire franchise and, despite its skin-crawling elements, it’s refreshing to see the new film preserving Indy’s tradition of unsettling encounters.
