John Rhys-Davies slams Indiana Jones 5, says his scenes were cut

Actor John Rhys-Davies, who played Sallah, did not hold back his disappointment with 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.' Speaking to /Film, he stated he was 'very disappointed' in the film.

Rhys-Davies claims that many of the scenes he was promised were cut from the final movie immediately after he signed his contract. He also argued the film undermined its own nostalgia by focusing on new characters the audience had never met, rather than familiar faces.

The actor extended his criticism to fellow cast member Antonio Banderas, calling the small role given to the 'most exciting actor of his generation' a 'terrible thing.' In the film, Banderas plays a frogman named Renaldo with very brief screentime.

Per the outlet, 'Dial of Destiny' was a costly production, reportedly budgeted at $419 million. It grossed just under $384 million worldwide, failing to turn a profit. The film was the first in the franchise not directed by Steven Spielberg and featured an 81-year-old Harrison Ford in the lead role.
