Nevertheless, Spielberg will serve as a producer on Indiana Jones 5 alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel.
On the chance of getting to direct the movie, Mangold said: “I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers.
“Steven, Harrison, Kathy, Frank, and John are all artistic heroes of mine.
“When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can’t help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself.”
