Rumors have it there is a curse surrounding "Indiana Jones 5" after a number of ordeals happened on the set. After an injury, death and other tragedies occurred, it is enough to say that Harrison Ford's final outing as Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr. problematic?
The production of "Indiana Jones 5" is still ongoing, but there are claims it is still coming to grips after the death of cameraman Nic Cupac. Though a source told Globe that he died of natural causes, some still found it unusual that it happened in the movie's location.
Cinemablend noted Cupac was seen dead inside his hotel room in Morocco, where the movie was filming at the time. The production's spokesperson confirmed the news and revealed in a statement that he worked on the second unit as a cameraman and just joined the crew recently.
The rep confirmed that Cupac did not die on set. In addition, the magazine contended Ford injured his shoulder while performing a stunt that put the production to a stop again.
The COVID-19 pandemic had already delayed the film for a significant amount of time, while the publication continued that the Londoners did not like the production well. "Indiana Jones 5" was supposed to be out in July 2022, but it was now moved to 2023.
"Most movies have filming delays, but 'Indy 5' seems to be cursed," the insider revealed. Despite these allegations, Suggest stressed the pandemic had wreaked havoc on a number of film releases.
Daniel Craig's "No Time to Die" was already completed as far back as 2019 but did not have the chance to be released until summer this year. Tom Cruise's "Top Gun: Maverick" is still yet to see the light of the day, along with "Jackass Forever."
With that said, these natural occurrences did not mean that "Indiana Jones 5" was cursed. The truth is the movie is expected to be a blockbuster film, featuring the return of Ford as Indiana Jones himself.
Sure, he got injured on the movie set, but the same thing happened when he did "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and nobody said it was jinxed. Cupac's death, alternatively, had nothing to do with the production as he was found inside his room.
In fact, everything now looks fine on the movie set after the now-79-year-old return to the movie production after his injury in June, per The New York Post. He looks sharp as a whip and is ready to take on his new adventures again, wearing his iconic leather jacket and hat. In no time, fans will soon see Ford as the whip-slinging archaeologist for the last time in "Indiana Jones 5."
