Indy’s son Mutt (aka Henry Jones) was a vital part of the fourth Indiana Jones movie, so why isn’t he around for the final installment?
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.After a fifteen-year hiatus on the big screen, Indiana Jones has returned once more, this time for Harrison Ford's last romp with the character, for the all-new Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Though it's never explicitly stated when Mutt enlists, given that the events of Dial of Destiny occur in the late '60s, it's likely that he joined up relatively recently. At least, recently enough that the wound of his death is ever-fresh in Indy's heart and mind. That's right, though Mutt is never seen in the film , it's stated via news reports early on that Indy's son died overseas in combat.
Of course, Indy's sidekicks come and go. Sometimes his partners betray him, other times they sleep with him, and almost every time they're never heard from again . Even though Mutt was his own flesh and blood, that still applies to the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star, who is unceremoniously killed off-screen. More than likely, this comes from Steven Spielberg's own initial desire to make the next James Bond film when preparing to direct what would become Raiders of the Lost Ark.
