Harrison Ford got choked up talking to fans about the 5th 'Indiana Jones' movie, telling them it's 'fantastic' and this will be it for him in the iconic role

• The first footage for next summer's "Indiana Jones" sequel debuted at Disney's D23 Expo on Saturday.
• Star Harrison Ford received a standing ovation when he took the stage after an exclusive teaser played.

The fifth "Indiana Jones" movie is better than the last one, according to star Harrison Ford.

"I'm very proud to say that this one is fantastic," an emotional Ford told fans at Disney's D23 Expo convention on Saturday morning as he received a standing ovation from the crowd.

"This is one of the reasons," Ford added, pointing to co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

"Indiana Jones' movies are about mystery and adventure, but they're also about heart," Ford said, tapping the microphone and pausing a moment as he became a bit emotional. As the crowd cheered him on, he continued, saying, "We have a really human story to tell as well, a movie that will kick your ass."

Ford has been waiting years to make another "Indiana Jones" movie, which has been in development for well over a decade, but had stalled creatively for a while. It will finally debut in theaters next summer.

Ford added that this should be his final time playing Indy: "I'm delighted to be here again and maybe for — No. This is it. I will not fall down for you again. Thank you so much."

During the morning's three-hour Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, and 20th Century Studios presentation, which Insider attended, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy showed off the first footage for the fifth "Indiana Jones" movie which showed Harrison teamed up with Waller-Bridge.

Director James Mangold took the stage commented on how surreal it was to be working with the very people who inspired him to become a director:

"The day that Harrison and you and Stephen came to me to talk about making this picture was a kind of frozen moment for me because, you know, I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in... Middletown, New York in high school and it's one of the reasons I became a film director," Mangold said.

Mangold told fans he was sitting, scoring some of the film with Williams on Friday. He added that fans who were in attendance at Williams' recent Hollywood Bowl show received a tease of some of the new "Indiana Jones" score.

"I was surrounded by tremendous talent and support and such goodwill and advice," director James Mangold ("Logan") told the D23 crowd, adding how monumental it was for him to take on this film.

"I found myself living out a kind of fantasy I had when I was in high school, which was wondering what it would feel like to make one of these pictures and all the time honoring, in my own mind, what these movies are for you and for me and trying to bring that back again this year," Mangold added.

Those who are in attendance at Disney's D23 Expo are receiving an extra tease at the film.

Fans can find concept art and costumes for the upcoming movie on the showroom floor.

"Indiana Jones" will be in theaters on June 30, 2023.
