He has produced many projects with Kennedy and has also directed a number of films, such as Arachnophobia (1990), Alive (1993), Congo (1995), Eight Below (2006), and The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart (2020).
He also worked alongside his wife on the Indiana Jones films.
In June 2023, the couple spoke with GamesRadar about their memories with the film franchise as it comes to an end.
When asked why Indiana Jones has served as such a long-lasting icon, Kennedy said: “In an interesting way, I think it’s the extension of the cowboy. That silhouette. There’s a promise, an independence in that character, and instantly he feels heroic.
“It was brilliant that [Indiana Jones creator] George [Lucas] came up with the idea that he had a whip. That was such a unique concept, that he would have this whip. All of those things just contributes to this – he’s very much a man’s man, that’s very appealing.”


Marshall added: “He’s heroic, but he’s not a superhero. And that’s what people identify with; he makes mistakes, he’s fallible, he gets hurt.
“But he’s also very funny, and he can make light of things – but he’s also curious, and he wants to go on these adventures to find things that belong in a museum.”
