Indiana Jones (franchise) (AxelGripp)

Indiana Jones is an American media franchise created by George Lucas and directed by Stephen Spielberg based on the adventures of Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr., played by Harrison Ford, a fictional professor of archaeology that began in 1981 with the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. In 1984, a prequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was released, and in 1986, a sequel, Indiana Jones and the Monkey King, followed by Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis in 1992. In 2008, Ford and Spielberg returned to the franchise in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. A 7th film is in development and is provisionally scheduled to be released in 2022. 
In 1992, the franchise expanded to a television series with The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, portraying the character in his childhood and youth, and including adventures with his father. Marvel Comics began publishing The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones in 1983, and Dark Horse Comics gained the comic book rights to the character in 1991. Novelizations of the films have been published, as well as many novels with original adventures, including a series of German novels by Wolfgang Hohlbein, twelve novels set before the films published by Bantam Books, and a series set during the character's childhood inspired by the television show. Numerous Indiana Jones video games have been released since 1982.
