Antonio Banderas will play the role of Indy's friend Renaldo in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The actor described that his character would not be a major part of the film's storyline and confirmed that it would be more of a "cameo role." The actor revealed that his character would be on the same team as Indiana and would be helping him during one of his quests in the film.

In an interview with Collider, Antonio Banderas praised Harrison Ford and expressed his gratitude for getting to be a part of the much-loved franchise.

"It was beautiful to just be close to him. Some interviewers today, they say to me, 'Oh my God, I was 7 when Shrek 2 came out, and so now I'm 27 and interviewing you and I've been watching your movies since that time.' But the same thing happened to me with Harrison. I remember the first time I saw Indiana Jones, and I flipped out. So just being there, it was beautiful," he said.
"But, just to be there. Just that my name is attached to Indiana Jones, is something that – I don't know. If my daughter has a baby someday, I can tell her 'Hey, Grandpa did a movie with Indiana Jones,'" the actor continued.
