Not if Ford is able to perform. The movie industry has been working around injured actors for decades, and they have all kinds of tools in their kits to fool audiences. They're not always successful, but much of the time they pull it off and we never even know.Yea none of the other actors do. A bit weird isn’t it.
Filming Quicksilver 2 while rehabbing?
Damn shame a man his age has to pedal his own bicycle.
That apparent stunt double moves like the most spry 79 year old that I have ever seen.

It's concerning. Not only is he moving pretty youthfully for Harrison Ford now. It may get worse. Film crews usually undercrank the camera during fight scenes to speed it up another 10-15%.
But there is a mitigating factor that everyone is forgetting - Indy (the character) won't be 78 in this movie. He'll be more like 68. Indy's age has never been locked to Harrison's age. 'Temple' was set before 'Raiders'. 'Crusade' took place 2 years after 'Raiders' in the fiction and Harrison was nearly 50 when they filmed it.
The fictional Indy was born in about 1900, give or take. That aligns with the old movies and the 'Young Indy' TV series. Scrubbing one decade off Harrison Ford is nothing for the CGI department these days.
Why stop there? They could set the next movie in 1981. Show Indy taking Marion on a date night to watch 'Raiders' in the movie theater.
Better yet. It's 1979. Indy is contacted by a couple of up and coming directors named Lucas and Spielberg because they want to make a movie about his adventures called "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and they want Indy (Ford) as an on-set advisor. Bring in whoever the next Indy is going to be to play the "movie Indy", and they literally have Ford handing the role to the next guy. He probably wouldn't agree to that, but it would certainly solve the age problems if he did.Why stop there? They could set the next movie in 1981.
