In Frank's cabin, Lily finds his research on the Tears of the Moon, but Frank insists he stopped searching long ago. They are captured by cannibals that are actually the Puka Michuna tribe who work for Frank as part of his contrived jungle cruise adventure. Tribal chief Trader Sam translates the symbols on the arrowhead, revealing the Tree's location and that it only blooms under a blood moon.
EARN POINTS AND UNLOCK REWARDS FOR MOVIE PURCHASES WITH DISNEY MOVIE INSIDERS
Jenkins ultimately stayed at Warner Bros. to direct a "Wonder Woman" sequel, and by the summer of 2017 Jaume Collet-Serra was revealed as the director after passing on the opportunity to direct a "Suicide Squad" sequel. That "Suicide Squad" film eventually went to James Gunn of "Guardians of the Galaxy" fame, so everyone pretty much ended up where they belonged. Paul Giamatti plays a gold-toothed, sunburned, cartoonishly “Italian” harbor master who delights at keeping Frank in debt. Edgar Ramirez is creepy and scary as a conquistador whose curse from centuries ago has trapped him in the jungle. Jesse Plemons plays the main baddie, Prince Joachim, who wants to filch the power of the petals for the Kaiser back in Germany (he's Belloq to the stars' Indy and Marion, trying to swipe the Ark). Unsurprisingly, given his track record, Plemons steals the film right out from under its leads.
Sequel
"Jungle Cruise" took what seemed at the time like a big leap toward the screen back in 2011, when it was reported by EW that Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, the duo that helped make "Toy Story" a hit, would team up again to star in the film. That pairing ultimately fizzled, and by 2015 Dwayne Johnson was expressing interest in the project. Johnson was dubbed the film's official star in 2017, and by 2018 "Jungle Cruise" had begun shooting.
Movie Trailers
The trailer begins by establishing the film as a period drama set sometime in the early 20th century, though not so early that automobiles aren't prevalent. We get to see Lily evade villains by doing a little a bit of improvised urban exploring, we see Frank using various tricks of his trade to impress tourists on the river, and then we see the two of them meet and team up. What we don't see a whole lot of is the actual jungle cruise the characters are set to embark on, but there's just enough here to hint that the trip will turn supernatural with help from an ancient curse. In the case of "Jungle Cruise," the star role will be filled by not one but two stars with experience in both action and comedy.
On Thursday, the studio said the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, will premiere in theaters and on Disney+ premier access on July 30. The report quickly generated controversy, not because Disney would feature an openly gay character in the film, but because of how the character would reportedly be portrayed. Many social media users worried that Disney was simply leaning back on tired gay stereotypes for its first major gay character, while others were concerned about who would play the role. That Whitehall, a straight man, would be playing such a potentially groundbreaking role for Disney instead of a gay actor was also a point of contention.

What's the release date for Jungle Cruise?
The conquistadors attack the tribe and Aguirre stabs Frank through the heart. Lily flees with the artifact, chased by conquistadors, but the jungle vines pull them back to the river, preventing her capture. "With so many theatres still closed or having seating restrictions it would be tough for Disney to recoup their production budgets and advertising spend with an exclusive theatrical window," said Eric Handler, managing director of media and entertainment equity research at MKM Partners. "Until we are towards the end of the pandemic and seating capacity gets back to 100% and people are fully comfortable returning to theatres we will likely see Disney have a simultaneous window." Jaume Collet-Serra directs the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez and Jack Whitehall, with Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. The producers are John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment; Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions; and Beau Flynn of Flynn Picture Co., with Scott Sheldon and Doug Merrifield serving as executive producers.
At times the leads seem more like a brother and sister needling each other than a will they/won’t they bantering couple. Lack of sexual heat is often (strangely) a bug, or perhaps a feature, in films starring Johnson, the four-quadrant blockbuster king (though not on Johnson’s HBO drama "Ballers"). Blunt keeps putting out more than enough flinty looks of interest to sell a romance, but her leading man rarely reflects it back at her. Fortunately, the film's tight construction and prolific action scenes carry it, and Blunt and Johnson do the irresistible force/immovable object dynamic well enough, swapping energies as the story demands.
Jungle Cruise - Teaser Trailer 1
It's unclear if the company will provide insight into how "Raya" fared on the streaming service or if it will share any other details on these types of releases in the future. This morning, Good Morning America gave fans an exclusive look at the new trailer for Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” and now the full trailer—bursting with thrills, laughs and surprises—is available, along with a new poster and images from the trailer. “Jungle Cruise” will release simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on Friday, July 30.
The more accurate name for Disney’s upcoming Jungle Cruise movie is probably Scary Death Boat From Hell, but who are we to judge? “Everything that you see wants to kill you,” the Rock’s riverboat captain advises, “and can.” That includes Jesse Plemons’s German prince, who has a big boat, bigger bazookas, and the biggest accent. Jungle Cruise will be released both in theaters and on Disney+ on July 30. Jungle Cruise is a 2021 American fantasy adventure film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra from a screenplay written by Glenn Ficarra, John Requa, and Michael Green. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Édgar Ramírez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti.
"Jungle Cruise" is set to be a rollicking action-comedy vehicle in the vein of past Disney hits like "Pirates of the Caribbean," which was also based on one of the House of Mouse's most popular theme park attractions. As with Johnny Depp and the first "Pirates" film, one of the keys to the project's success is picking a star to frame the film around, and then filling out a compelling ensemble. A second full-length trailer that came down the pike in 2021 is absolutely action-packed. Though it keeps the focus on Blunt and Johnson, often in pursuit of or being pursued by some nasty business, supernatural or otherwise, it does provide a few more glimpses of the actual cruise in question. There's even some Jesse Plemons action in what looks to be a German U-Boat. With the release date right around the corner, this is likely the final glimpse of the project before game time, so go ahead and fire it up.
In 2017, with Johnson officially onboard to star in the film, "Jungle Cruise" began to set up the rest of its creative team — both in front of and behind the camera. Johnson, as he has in many of his recent blockbusters, took a rather active role in the process, because he's also serving as one of the project's producers. In the spring of 2017 the film began searching for a director, and Johnson expressed a preference for "Wonder Woman" helmer Patty Jenkins.
