Actor Harrison Ford injured his shoulder while rehearsing a fight scene for the upcoming film "Indiana Jones 5," Disney confirmed Wednesday.

"In the course of rehearsing for a fight scene, Harrison Ford sustained an injury involving his shoulder," Disney said in a statement to Insider. "Production will continue while the appropriate course of treatment is evaluated, and the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed in the coming weeks."

The extent of Ford's injuries is not known, sources told Deadline, who first reported the news.

Ford, 78, will be reprising his legendary role as an archaeologist who sets out on adventures 14 years after the last installment, 2008's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Production of the long-awaited fifth movie in the franchise began in early June in the UK and the famed Pinewood Studio. This marks the first Indy movie not to be directed by Steven Spielberg. Instead, James Mangold ("Logan," "Ford v Ferrari") is at the helm.

Spielberg is a producer on the movie alongside Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy and franchise producer Frank Marshall.

Ford has not had much luck at Pinewood in the past. While shooting "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" there in 2014, he broke his leg on set when a hydraulic door on the Millennium Falcon landed on him.

"Indy 5" also stars Mads Mikkelsen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Toby Jones.

The film is slated to be released July 29, 2022. It's unclear if Ford's injury will affect the movie's release date.
