"Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" star Karen Allen was hoping her final bow in the franchise with Harrison Ford would be a little bigger than what audiences saw. But the actress is grateful she appeared in the final movie.  In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Allen explained changes with the story after Steven Spielberg stepped down from directing.

Indiana Jones franchise, “Dial of Destiny,” finally swung its way into theaters late last month.While series stars such as Harrison Ford and John Rhys-Davies came back for large portion of the action-adventure flick, one returning alum only had a sliver of time on the silver screen.Karen Allen — who portrays Indy’s longtime love Marion Ravenwood — made a quick, blink-and-you-missed-it cameo appearance at the end of the 154-minutes-long movie.The 71-year-old got candid with the Hollywood Reporter recently and expressed her disappointment with her lack of camera time.She previously had larger parts in 2008’s “Crystal Skull” and 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”Allen admitted that when she read the script for “Dial of Destiny,” she had expected that she would play a major role.However, she noted that it “was just not the direction” that the producers decided to go with.In the franchise, Marion and Indy have a son together, named Mutt Williams.

Indiana Jones has been entertaining audiences for four decades, and the fifth movie is keeping up the tradition. In the past, Indiana Jones has worked toward stopping the Nazis in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," found himself on a dangerous adventure in India in "Temple of Doom," working against the Nazis to find the Holy Grail in "Last Crusade," and racing against the Soviets in search for a hidden artifact with his long-lost son in Peru in "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

The last time audiences saw Marian, she was getting married to Indy at the end of 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” after she revealed to Indy that they’d had a child together, who Indy meets as teenage greaser Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). So any follow-up movie would at the very least need to address the fact that Indy is married with a (grown) kid.
