All those rumors might actually be right as Indiana Jones 5 might be getting a new ending if composer Johns Williamsâ recent comments are anything to go by.
Williams recently appeared in Italy (via YouTube) to show off his score and stated something interesting, as Williams said, âSo we have just about completed the film. We have maybe another ending to shoot and to record, maybe in a couple weeks.â
Williams doesnât continue with additional details, but worth pointing out is that Williams confirms the movie isnât finished just yet and says there is âanother ending,â which suggests the ending isnât set in stone.
That also sounds like they are fixing the ending.
Recall the rumors have offered that the Indiana Jones 5 test screenings are worse than thought.

What are the Indiana Jones 5 rumors about?
The rumors offer that every ending shows Phoebe Waller-Bridge replacing Harrison Ford at the request of Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and that Phoebe Waller-Bridge insults Harrison Ford throughout the entire movie.
The worst version of the ending is said to show a young Harrison Ford as Indy getting killed off in the past where Phoebe Waller-Bridgeâs Helena picks up the whip and puts on the fedora and replaces Harrison Ford and becomes the new Indiana Jones.
So since Phoebe Waller-Bridge replaces Indy in the past, that means she is the Indiana Jones going forward and has always been Indiana Jones.
Director James Mangold has shot down those time travel replacement rumors, but per what John Williams has to say above, they are still working on the ending to the film.
âOne more time. No one is âtaking overâ or replacing Indy or donning his hat nor is he being âerasedâ thru some contrivance,â Mangold tweeted. âAnd he never was, not not in any cut or script â but trolls will troll â thatâs how they get their clicks.â
Mangold continued, âAnd please donât exhaust me pointing out how once in a while a troll is âright.â Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now & then. All one has to do is look at set photos & interviews & you get enough info to make wild guesses about a movie plot,â he said. âThe diff between trolling a-holes & everyone else is they are trying to make [money] off your feelings about other films & culture war politics. They push controversial guesses as coming from âsourcesâ to gin up clicks. Let it go. END.â
