Spielberg Praises Dial of Destiny
Spielberg recently saw the film at a screening held by Disney CEO Bob Iger. When asked how it was watching an Indiana Jones movie that he didn’t director, Spielberg was effusive in his praise.
“I just had that experience two nights ago,” Spielberg said at the Time 100 Summit. “Bob Iger had a screening for a lot of the Disney executives, and I came to the screening along with the director James Mangold. Everybody loved the movie. It’s really, really a good ‘Indiana Jones’ film. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.”

“When the lights came up I just turned to the group and said, ‘Damn! I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one of these,” Spielberg added.
The supporting cast of the film includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, and Antonio Banderas.
