The only time Disney had a "surprise panel" to announce a movie that I recall was in 2008 when they announced Tron: Legacy was happening.
But I don't see that happening here. There hasn't been any word with Disney on Indiana Jones since gaining its copyright last year. Indy 4 wasn't officially ago until Dec. 2006 when they announced a script was ready. Since there's been no talk of a script or even a writer, we're pretty much in the exact same position on Indy 5 for the past 6 years, so nothing has changed. And with Pirates 5 having been announced for 2017, its a guarantee we won't see Indy 5 by 2016. As far as the Con* goes, Disney is too focused on Star Wars to be paying attention to Indy right now.
*Perhaps we should bump the Indy Comic Con thread? Not that there will be a new movie announced, but will there be any new Indy merchandise?

Bob Iger confirms Indy 5 will be made:
http://news.yahoo.com/indiana-jones-5-confirmed-by-disney-110905006.html?nf=1
It?s been rumoured for a while, but now Disney CEO Bob Iger has CONFIRMED that the studio will be making ?Indiana Jones 5?.
Talking to Bloomberg News, he said: ?With George Lucas?s Star Wars - and Indiana Jones, by the way, which will be coming, we have more great stories.?
When Disney purchased LucasFilm for $4 billion back in 2012, they secured the rights not only to ?Star Wars?, but also the ?Indiana Jones? franchise (after some wrangling with previous rights holders Paramount).
Upon completion of the deal Disney immediately went into production on more ?Star Wars? films, but held back on ?Indy? movies? until now its seems.
Speaking to Yahoo earlier in 2015, Spielberg said he?ll likely work on the film that that it would star Harrison Ford. Bradley Cooper and Chris Pratt were rumoured to play a younger version of the archeologist.
He said: ?Now I?ll probably do an Indy 5 with Harrison, [so] it?ll be five for Harrison, four for Tom [Hanks].?
In a separate interview with French radio RTL, Spielberg said: ?I am hoping one day to make it to an Indiana Jones V. I would hope to make it before Harrison Ford is 80 and I get much older.?
Spielberg?s quotes suggests that both he and Harrison Ford are on board for the sequel, though neither has officially said as much.

No offense, but that is some JANKEY journalism right there.
No mention of a movie, no mention of a date, no mention of a timeline. Just merely confirms that:
For Yahoo to nail it down to a confirmation of Indy V is...pretty bad.
I'll be watching for a retraction of this, you can count on it.

I linked to the source in the rumor/speculation thread yesterday. The idiot at Yahoo failed to give proper context to the quote.
(In referencing the success of Star Wars)
Q : "Can you give us any sense relative to the two other major acquisitions you made, because you did Pixar very early on in your tenure, and then you did Marvel later on and they both share some similarities with this. I mean, both generated great content that you then use through your franchises, you call them. Is this bigger than those two? How does it compare in size?"
Iger: "Well it's about the same size as Marvel from an acquisition price perspective, and Pixar was a few billion dollars higher. In terms of value today its not something that we really break out so I can't say.
But what I can say, and you touched on it David is that they do have a lot of things in common. And it starts with great storytelling, that is the heart really of the company, going back all the way to 1923 when it was founded by Walt Disney and his brother Roy. It's all about storytelling, that's what creates the most value.
So we had in Pixar some of the best storytellers that existed in motion pictures and certainly in animation. We had in Marvel stories and characters, great storytelling, and obviously in George Lucas' Star Wars... and Indiana Jones, by the way as well, which will be coming. We have more great stories."
So the discussion WAS speaking specifically in terms of generating Film & TV content that could then be merchandised.
(I happily note that Disney properly uses "franchise" to describe a property's product line. Hence the "what you call franchises" bit in the question.)

Very true, and we've known that from the get go.
But to cite it as "Indiana Jones: V" has been greenlighted, is just plain irresponsible by a news network.

The negativity on this site is sickening. Some of you are not Indy fans at all. Unbelievable. Guess what? The sun will come up tomorrow, I promise.
America. Where truth is both negative AND offending.

Members are all over this site "confirming" the nothing news as though we did have a script (not supposedly one in development).
The point is, it doesn't take a pre-law attorney to understand Iger's comments as "At some point in the not-determined-but-certainly-not-near future we will tell more Indiana Jones stories. That is all.". But it may take a high school diploma.

Disney confirms that Indiana Jones will be returning to the big screen sooner that everybody thinks. Meanwhile, 73-year-old actor Harrison Ford expressed interest in returning to the planned 'Indiana Jones 5'.
Rumors say that the production team already had a meeting last month, and the outline of the script is almost finished.

The news in that is that they seem to be closer than estimated. What comes to the leading man dilemma, it's nothing we haven't heard or been able to deduce. There are no doubt connected people like Marshall and Spielberg who think Ford is still up to the job, but the suits at Disney seem more queasy about it and need further convincing.
Interesting times. Let it be said though that if it comes to a battle of wills with the producer and director at one side and the guys who hold the money and the rights to an IP on the other - it's the latter who always win.

Do you actually have a source for this?
I don't remember ever hearing anything of the sort.
The only thing we've heard about who's starring in Indy 5 are those tidbits from Ford, Spielberg and Marshall.
It just seems a bit wrong to group in facts and speculation is all.
