In an interview with Associated Press, Williams, 90, said about writing music for the movie and said he did it because of Ford. “At the moment I’m working on ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ which Harrison Ford — who’s quite a bit younger than I am — I think has announced will be his last film. So, I thought: If Harrison can do it, then perhaps I can, also.”

If it is indeed true, watching the film is going to be an extremely emotional moment for Harrison Ford fans.
