The following contains spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, in theaters now.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has tremendous fun with the series' history. The fifth film in the action-adventure franchise brings back plenty of Indy's old friends while introducing fresh rivals. One major addition to the series is absent from the movie, however -- and there's a very good reason for that.
Dial of Destiny reveals that Shia Labeouf's Mutt Williams -- the son of Indy who introduced in the prior film -- has died off-screen. While it's a sad twist of fate for a character who seemed poised to follow in his father's footsteps, his death benefits the overall bittersweet tone of the film. Mutt's passing adds extra layers to the first and third acts of the movie through a blunt, emotional reveal.
