Director James Mangold said: “I’m thrilled to be starting a new adventure, collaborating with a dream team of all-time great filmmakers

“When you add Phoebe, a dazzling actor, brilliant creative voice and the chemistry she will undoubtedly bring to our set, I can’t help but feel as lucky as Indiana Jones himself.”
