The latest instalment in the Indiana Jones film series has just been released, with Harrison Ford having reprised his role as the beloved archaeologist for another adventure.
The actor, 80, first played as Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones Jr. in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and went on to appear as him in the Temple of Doom (1984) and the Last Crusade (1989).
He later returned in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and has reprised the role for what's believed to be the final time in the newly-released film the Dial of Destiny (2023).
Over the course of the series, he's worked alongside a host of other actors, some of whom have returned for the latest instalment in the franchise, which was released last week.
