He said: “Indiana Jones movies are about fantasy and mystery, but they’re also about heart.
“We have a really great story to tell, as well as a movie that will kick your ass.”
With a lump in his throat, Ford praised the work of his on-screen colleague Phoebe Waller-Bridge. He told fans: “Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us.
“I’m very proud to say to say that this one is fantastic. [He pointed at Waller-Bridge]. And this is one of the reasons.”
Sadly, Ford also alluded to this latest Indiana Jones instalment being the last time he will comprise the role, saying: “This is it. I will not fall down for you again. But thank you so much.”
Co-star Waller-Bridge also seems excited for Indiana Jones 5, saying she feels incredibly lucky to be a part of it.
She said: “I had the time of my life making this movie. I feel so incredibly lucky and keeping up with this guy [points at Ford] is exhausting.”
Up until now, the plot for Indiana Jones 5 has been kept close to producers' chests, however, the newest trailer did give us an idea of what to expect.
The trailer showed the classic character in action for the first time in 14 years - the last film in the franchise was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull released in 2008.
Harrison Ford was 65 years old when that film was released - the actor is now 80, so it seems no age barrier can stop him.
There will be a few new faces in Indiana Jones 5 with Mads Mikkelsen, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Thomas Kretschmann and Antonio Banderas all joining the cast.
For the first time in the franchise, Steven Spielberg will not directing the latest installment.
The famed director has handed that duty over to James Mangold - known for films such as Logan and Le Mans '66.
Spielberg is still involved with the project as a producer.
Indiana Jones 5 is due to release on 30 June 2023.
