It was thought the actor would make a brief cameo appearance as Abner Ravenwood, father of Jones' Raiders love interest Marion.
However, he told Empire that the character pops up in many of the film's major action set-pieces, saying: "He is, shall we say, very much there by name in the first half and present in the second half."
He added: "I shot in Hawaii and five different Hollywood studios - Universal, Downey, Paramount, Warner and Sony. I don't think I'm allowed to tell you any more."
Variety has confirmed that the film's trailer will be released next week. It will screen in the US on Valentine's Day ahead of The Spiderwick Chronicles and should be accessible on the internet at the same time.
Producer Frank Marshall recently claimed that the new movie is most similar to the third film in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
