Hollywood legend Harrison Ford defied his years with an action-packed performance as the first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny dropped on Thursday evening.
Ford, 80, returned as the icon professor for the fifth instalment in the Indiana Jones series, which features Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge as his trusty companion Helena, who is his goddaughter.
The latest instalment of the popular franchise sees Indiana Jones seemingly come out of retirement in his quieter life as a professor in education before he is somehow coaxed into his latest escapade.
The first sneak peek of the film, which is set to hit the cinemas on June 30, 2023, also used some impressive technology of de-aging Ford during a flashback scene.
The trailer starts with a man trying to convince Indiana Jones to return to his life of adventure as the screen shows several past memories of the famed professor.
"I miss the desert, I miss the sea, and I miss waking up every morning wondering what new adventure the day will bring to us," the man says to the professor outside of an airport.
Indiana ruled out his approach, saying: "Those days have come and gone." But the man perseveres, replying: "Perhaps. Perhaps not."
However, he is convinced to put on his iconic fedora once more.
"I don't believe in magic but there are few times in my life, I have seen things," Indiana says in a voiceover during scenes of the chaos about to ensue in the film.
"Things I can't explain. And I have come to believe it's not so much what you believe, it's how hard you believe it."
One of the scenes sees the professor on horseback as he gallops through a patriotic parade and on a subway track despite heading towards an oncoming train.
Jones shows off his athletic ability despite his advancing years as he jumps out of one Tuk Tuk and into another during a chase scene, while also Helena helps topple a boulder for her godfather.
Other adventures saw Indy on top of a moving train, fighting scenes and explosions in the frenetic trailer.
The advanced technology flashes back to a younger Indiana Jones after he is taken captive in a past scene, de-aging Ford considerably and realistically.
It finishes with Indy threatening a room of people by brandishing his famous whip, exclaiming "get back" before every person turns on the veteran with their guns and firing as he jumps to the floor in almost comedic fashion.
