The Cannes Film Festival has confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will get its world premiere on May 18 at the festival.
Harrison Ford and director James Mangold will be among those to tread the red carpet to a John Williams soundtrack, the festival and Disney said on Monday. The presence of additional cast is currently being worked out, the studio added.
The movie will then release in theaters June 28 in France and June 30 in the U.S.
The festival will also host a career tribute to Ford 15 years after it debuted Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Mangold said today: “In 1995, I was honored to come to Cannes with my first film Heavy, as part of Directors’ Fortnight. Twenty-eight years later, I am proud to return with a slightly larger spectacle. My legendary collaborators and I are very excited to share a brand new and final Indiana Jones adventure with you!”
The Disney and Lucasfilm production is produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel, with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas serving as executive producers. Williams, who has scored each Indy adventure since the original Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, has again composed the score.
Cannes is shaping up to be a festival bonanza this year with Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon already confirmed for the event.
