James Mangold, der instruerer den kommende Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, har i et interview med spilmagasin IGN forklaret, hvorfor han mener, at nazister spiller en afgørende rolle i Indiana Jones-universet:
"They're as much a part of the character of Indiana Jones as every other element we're familiar with. But also I think there are a million ways it's just relevant even to our world today, whether they're called one thing or another, these things don't die away. These groups have kind of dreams of order and of the old days and are trying to return to them. So I felt like it was both familiar and relevant."
Mangold mener altså, at det både fungerer som en relevant kritik af vores samfund i dag, men også som en klassisk og velkendt markør for Indy-filmserien.
Det er ikke første gang, at Indiana Jones skal bekæmpe nazisterne, siden de også var skurkene i Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) og The Last Crusade (1989).
Filmen får dansk præmiere den 29. juni 2023.
