Los Angeles:
Walt Disney Studios has struck a deal with Paramount Pictures, which retains rights to the first four Indiana Jones films, to have control over future movies.
Disney which already secured ownership rights to Indiana Jones after acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012, now secures marketing and distribution rights for any future installments of the movie franchise, reported Deadline.
Created by George Lucas, the Indiana Jones series kicked off with Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, followed by The Temple of Doom in 1984, The Last Crusade in 1989, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008.
Steven Spielberg directed all the four films with Harrison Ford in the lead.
Paramount will continue holding the distribution rights to the first four Ford-starring adventure films.
The studio will also receive an undisclosed financial share from Disney should any new films be made.
There is no official word for Indiana Jones V movie just yet although Ford has expressed in multiple occasions his interest to reprise his role.
