The 78-year-old actor injured his shoulder while rehearsing for a fight scene on the set of the fifth "Indiana Jones" movie, USA TODAY confirmed Wednesday, first reported by Deadline. Ford will take a break while director James Mangold will keep working around his absence.

“Production will continue while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated, and the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks,” a statement from Disney said.

3. Harrison Ford...A true american icon ... why is he doing fight scenes at age

thats what stunt doubles are for CGI it...We already loss Sean Connery recently no need to rush out Hans Solo also...

4. If you pace the timeline from Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy 5 should be in the disco era

Raiders was in 1936 in 1981, so Indiana Jones 5, coming out in 2022, should take place in 1977.

7. 1970

Last Crusade was released in 1989 but takes place in 1938 and with Crystal Skull (2008) taking place in 1957 so this new one should take place in 1970.

11. The offset is by year of release, so 1971.

6. Not necessarily, or, maybe he's used up his nine lives?

He came back from serious injuries sustained when he crashed his vintage plane some years ago after taking off from Santa Monica Municipal Airport.

From the article:

Ford also was injured on the British set of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" seven years ago. On the second day of filming, a mishap involving a hydraulic door broke his left leg and injured his ankle. Nine months later, Ford crashed his vintage single-engine plane on a golf course soon after taking off from Santa Monica Municipal Airport. The injury tally for that accident was one dislocated right ankle, one shattered pelvis and one broken back.

12. It was meant as a joke

That’s a recurring line in the Star Wars movies.

8. Can't believe he didn't have a stunt double for the physical stuff

What with all the CGI and post-production technology out there these days...

9. The odds of a 78 year navigating through a fight scene are 3,720 to 1. n/t
