"I think he's slipping a bit, and he's become a bit disillusioned, there's been a lot of difficulty lately but we're here to sort it all out," he said.

"Well there's a lot of action in it, but there's a lot of heart in it too," Ford said. "There's a lot about relationships and responsibility. I'm making it sound a little dull but it isn't."

And while there may be more stories to tell in the Indiana Jones universe, Ford is quite sure this film is the conclusion of Indy's story.
"It's the end of the story for me. It's the last time I'm going to play Indiana Jones, and I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to do it, but theta's it."
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" hits theaters on Friday, June 30.
