Trods de bedste intentioner var Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny meget, meget dyr at producere, høstede ikke gode nok anmeldelser og tjente ikke nok penge, så derfor faldt det hele rimelig meget til jorden efter premieren.
Harrison Ford er som bekendt færdig med rollen, men det lader heller ikke til at der er nogen internt hos Lucasfilm der er interesserede i at samle serien op. I et interview med Deadline siger den nu færdige Lucasfilm-chef Kathleen Kennedy dette:
"I have no regrets about that because Harrison wanted to do that more than anything. He did not want Indy to end with the fourth movie. He wanted a chance at another, and we did that for him. I think that was the right thing to do. He wanted to do that movie. I don't think Indy will ever be done, but I don't think anybody is interested right now in exploring it. But these are timeless movies, and Indy will never be done."
Vi tænker dog at der kommer til at gå mange år før franchisen samles op igen.
