Part 6/9:
Later in the film, Indy is transported back in time to the Roman siege of Syracuse, where he encounters Archimedes. Despite his initial reluctance to return to the past, Helena’s intervention and decisions ultimately lead the story. Indy, the legendary hero, is sidelined, and the narrative positions Helena as the primary agent of change and heroism.
Disappointing Ending and Setups for Future Installments
The plot leak also reveals that the movie ends on an optimistic note—a somewhat familiar "happy ending" with Marion riding into the sunset, grocery bags in hand, and Indy putting his iconic hat down for a final time. However, this ending might serve as a setup for future installments, potentially reintroducing Waller-Bridge's character or exploring new directions for the franchise.
