Hollywood magazine Variety is reporting that Steven Spielberg will not direct the upcoming Indiana Jones movie and will hand over duties to James Mangold.
Steven Spielberg has to date directed all the Indiana Jones films, and its always been thought he would always directed the movies, especially as his friend George Lucas has written the movies especially for the fames director to make.
The big question is has James Mangold been hand picked by Spielberg? His directing duties to date are 2019's Ford V. Ferrari (Le Mans '66 in the UK) which was nominated for a number of awards and he was the executive producer on The Greatest Showman.
With this in mind the big question is should be have a new Indiana Jones movie? The last film in the franchise is considered the worst, and without the Spielberg/Lucas/Ford magic can it ever live up to the franchises best moments?
Or maybe its time to hand over to a new director and get some new life in the flagging series, although Harrison Ford will certainly play Indiana Jones despite the fact he is pushing 80.
Time will tell and the release date for the movie is currently set for sometime in mid 2021.

The little blue speedy hedgehog that was once the flagship character for Sega is getting his own movie this year and the BBFC have given it a PG age rating.
The film hit controversy last year when the first trailer was released due to the look of the Sonic character, but the director went back into the edit room and redesigned him.
The new look got a much better reception when the trailer was released and fans seem to be looking forward to the movie.
The film stars Jim Carrey as Doctor Robotnix and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, it is directed by Jeff Fowler.
The film has been given a PG rating by the BBFC for mild violence, threat, rude humour and it has a runtime of 98 minutes (1 hour and 38 minutes), the film was passed uncut.
The release date is 14th February 2020.

The DC Universe film goes back to the top of the global box office this week under much hype that the film has passed the $1 Billion mark.
This also means that for director James Wan he joins James Cameron as the only directors to have $1 Billion films that are not from the same franchise, a bigger feat than initially seems.
The superhero movie this week takes $45 million from a massive 80 countries which boosts the total global gross to $1.02 Billion.
Falling from the top spot this week the Transformers movie takes $42 million from 65 countries to push its total gross to $364.7 million.
The film has performed well outside America and een this week only just misses out on the top spot, the good reviews and breath of fresh air from a new director on the series has helped the flagging robot franchise.
The comedy drama is the top new film of the week, hitting number 1 in the US, the film takes $20.8 million from 18 countries.
For Nicole Kidman who has a starring role in this film its good news as she is also at the top of the global box office with a pivotal role in Aquaman.

This week the flagging DC Cinematic Universe owned by Warner Bros. got a well needed kick start with Wonder Woman that not only got a fantastic opening weekend but also got good reviews.
For a new IP starring the little known Gal Gadot a £6.1 million opening is fantastic, although Chris Pine does brings some star power and the film easily takes over at the top of the UK box office.
Compared to the previous 2 films in the series, Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice and Man of Steel it is far lower but the reviews have been far better and this film could have a good run ahead of it.
With Justice League coming on November this year it could be a good year for Warner and the DC property it so wants to be a rival to Marvel Cinematic Universe but is lacking to date.
Falling from the top to number 3 this week is Pirates of The Caribbean: Salazars Revenge, a weekend take of £2 million brings the films total to £13 million.
Worth noting is for the week Monday - Sunday Pirates of The Caribbean: Salazars Revenge would have still been number 1 with a weekly take of £7.7 million.
Also making its debut this week is Baywatch, a slapstick retelling of the 90s TV show, starring Dwayne Johnson and Zak Efron the film takes £4.6 million, not bad really but not good up against a superhero movie.
