Harrison Ford’s injury on the set of “Indiana Jones 5” is apparently much worse than initially thought.

The legendary actor hurt his shoulder while rehearsing a stunt for the latest film in the saga of the famous archeologist, and people were hoping he’d be back soon to keep filming. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters)

Well, it sounds like that definitely won’t happen.

An unnamed insider told The Sun, “It is Harrison’s last outing as Indiana and everyone thought it would be plain sailing. After the initial delays everyone was raring to go. But now Harrison is injured and it is worse than first thought.”

Just how bad might the situation be with Ford hurt? Production might not start again until September.

The same unnamed person added, “The film’s bosses have come together to work out the scheduling and it’s chaos. The earliest they think they can restart the production is September. It was not what anyone was expecting so to have to change everything is a huge blow. Everyone was concerned for Harrison and they are glad he is on the mend.”

Obviously, we’re all pulling for Ford and his health is our main concern and priority number one. He’s 78 years old, and we all know older people don’t generally heal very quickly.

At the same time, this is really bad news for the release of the movie. While I don’t know the official schedule, it’s hard to imagine filming is done by the end of 2021 if production is halted until September.

That means we probably won’t get “Indiana Jones 5” until later in 2022. That’s not what anyone wants to hear!

Hopefully, Ford is back in action sooner than later! We’re all pulling for him.
