Anaheim, California - Harrison Ford has confirmed that the fifth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise will hit cinemas in late June next year.

The veteran actor delivered the news following a live performance of the movie's world-famous theme tune by legendary composer John Williams at Disney's Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California.

Joining Williams onstage in a surprise appearance, Ford congratulated him on his recent 90th birthday and told him the music to the Indiana Jones franchise "follows me everywhere I go."

"You know, I'm happy about it," he said, to laughs from audience members.
