Harrison Ford is on board for a fifth installment of the Indiana Jones movie series, about 40 years after the first movie was released. The movie is expected to be released in July 2022, when Ford will be 80 years old.

Disney announced the return of Ford in his iconic role in a tweet, saying, “Lucasfilm is in pre-production on the next installment of Indiana Jones. At the helm is James @Mang0ld, director of Ford v Ferrari, and Indy himself, Harrison Ford, will be back to continue his iconic character’s journey.”  

The first Indiana Jones movie, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” came out in 1981, followed by “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984 and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” in 1989. Then after almost two decades, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was released in 2008.

Taylor Swift announced on Thursday that she was dropping her ninth studio album, sharing the surprise news on Twitter: “I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. It’s called evermore.”

Swift also tweeted, “To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in.” 

Swift shared on Twitter that the music video for her single “Willow” would be released at midnight, and shared the track list for “Evermore,” which features 15 tracks in total on the standard album, with two bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.
