Production of the fifth "Indiana Jones" film
will continue while "the appropriate course of treatment is
evaluated" for the 78-year-old actor, Disney said in a
statement. "The filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed
in the coming weeks," the statement said.
The movie's release date has been postponed several times.
Disney currently plans for it to debut in July 2022. Production
started earlier this month in London.
Ford first played the character, a fedora-wearing archaeologist
and adventurer, in 1981 in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Three
other movies followed in 1984, 1989 and 2008.
The new installment co-stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads
Mikkelsen.
In 2014, Ford broke his leg while filming "Star Wars: The Force
Awakens" when a hydraulic door on the Millennium Falcon
spaceship fell on him.
