Editors - Mike McCusker ACE, Andrew Buckland ACE and Dirk Westervelt ACE

The INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY editing team of McCusker, Buckland and Westervelt have been amping up the action in the cutting room for a while now.  First joining up for James Mangold's LOGAN (2017); the team would collaborate once more on Mangold's FORD V FERRARI (2019) before finding themselves at the editorial helm of the fifth, and most likely final, installment of the Indiana Jones franchise.

INDANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY sees daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones race against time to retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history. Accompanied by his goddaughter, he soon finds himself squaring off against Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi who works for NASA.
