This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Disney's next Indiana Jones has been announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, and it take splace during the prime of the archeologist hero's career. From the moment Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom established Indiana Jones as one of Hollywood's biggest action-adventure franchises, Indy has expanded far beyond George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg's original movies. Indiana Jones became a fixture in comic books published by Marvel and later Dark Horse, acclaimed video games like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and novels, animation, and theme park attractions.

James Mangold's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny closed Harrison Ford's forty-two-year cinematic run as the character, but the franchise itself still offers abundant opportunities for future stories. Indiana Jones's young era still leaves room for fresh stories about his early life, while entirely new archaeologists could inherit the hero's spirit of exploration without replacing Ford's portrayal directly. While Harrison Ford's portrayal plays a key role, the franchise's enduring appeal has always rested on its blend of mythology, history, exotic locations, and thrilling treasure hunts.

There's no better place to continue Indiana Jones' story than in the comics, where virtually any story can happen without budget or visual effects restraints.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2026's Lucasfilm Publishing Panel, Marvel unveils the next installment in the Indiand Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium. Penned by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Aaron Kuder, the new five-issue limited comic series brings the legendary adventurer back to the comic book page. The series opens a fresh chapter in Indiana Jones' comic-book history by returning to the timeline of the original films, placing its story shortly after the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

At the center of the conflict is Marion Ravenwood, who unexpectedly finds herself in possession of the object every faction seeks, forcing her and Indy into another race across the world before it falls into the wrong hands. The story promises to capture the classic spirit that established Indiana Jones as one of fiction's greatest adventurers. Indiana embarks on a globe-spanning expedition to uncover the truth behind the Sword of Pandemonium, a biblical relic whose supernatural significance challenges even his deeply rooted skepticism toward myths and ancient legends.
