Rabat – The Moroccan Film Center (CCM) announced that the fifth Indiana Jones installment will be filmed in Morocco this summer. Indiana Jones is now added to the long list of major feature films shot in the country, alongside James Bond, Mission: Impossible, Inception and American Sniper. Many popular series were also filmed in the country, such as Game of Thrones, Homeland, and The Spy.
Producer Steven Spielberg will entrust the completion of this franchise to James Mangold (known for Logan, among others), said the CCM in a statement, reporting that Spielberg is still involved in much of the production, alongside producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall.
The CCM statement also confirmed that Harrison Ford is returning as the emblematic title character. He will be joined by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Shauente Renée Wilson (The Resident) and Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: The Ultron era), noted the statement.
Filming for the latest opus in the iconic saga began in London on June 7 and will continue in Fez and Oujda this summer.
The CCM statement noted, “The success of Morocco and its attractiveness as that large filming space are due, on the one hand, to the multiple decorations offered by our country, in its exceptional light, the experience and the qualification of its technical teams, and, on the other hand, the measures taken Since 2017 by the Moroccan cinematic center as well as the benefits granted to foreign producers.”
Moroccan producer Zakaria Alaoui and his company Zak Productions will be in charge of filming in Morocco, concluded the statement.
