Premise

Set during the early 20th century, a riverboat captain named Frank takes a scientist and her brother on a mission into a jungle to find the Tree of Life which is believed to possess healing powers. All the while, the trio must fight against dangerous wild animals and a competing German expedition.

Cast

Production

Development

In September 2006, it was announced that Jungle Cruise would be developed for Mandeville Films, with a script by Josh Goldstein, John Norville, Alfred Gough, and Miles Millar, loosely inspired by the theme park attraction of the same name. The film was announced to take place within the twentieth century.[3] In February 2011, it was announced that Toy Story stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen would star in the long-gestating film, with a script to be written by Roger S. H. Schulman.[4]

In December 2018, it was reported that actor Jack Whitehall's character would be gay and would have a coming out scene in the film with Dwayne Johnson.[5] This would be the second incidence of a gay character in a Disney film, the first being Le Fou, portrayed by Josh Gad, in the 2017 live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. There was some backlash over the report, with a few expressing outrage over a straight man being cast as a "camp" gay character.[6]

Casting

On August 9, 2015, it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures was redeveloping its film adaptation based on Jungle Cruises, to star Dwayne Johnson.[7] The script will be written by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, and the film will be produced by John Davis and John Fox. The film is intended to hark back to its period roots.[7] In April 2017, Johnson expressed his interest in having Patty Jenkins helm the project.[8] In July 2017, Jaume Collet-Serra was announced as the director of the film.[9]

In January 2018, Emily Blunt joined the cast.[10] That same month, Michael Green was reported to have rewritten the script, previously worked on by Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne.[11] In March 2018, Jack Whitehall joined the cast to portray the brother of Blunt’s character, although there was some social media backlash about a straight actor playing a "camp gay character".[12][13] In April 2018, Édgar Ramírez and Jesse Plemons joined the cast to portray villains with the former being "a man with a conquistador background".[14][15] In May 2018, Paul Giamatti joined the cast to portray a “crusty harbormaster.”[16] In June 2018, Quim Gutiérrez joined the cast to portray one of the villains.[17]

Filming

Principal photography began on May 14, 2018, in Hawaii.[18] Filming wrapped on September 14.[19]

Post-production

Joel Negron will serve as editor. DNEG, Industrial Light & Magic, Rodeo FX and Weta Digital will be providing the effects for the film.[20][21]

Music

On January 23, 2019, it was announced that James Newton Howard is set to create the musical score of the film.[22]

Release

It is scheduled to be released on July 30, 2021.[23] It was previously scheduled to be released on October 11, 2019, and July 24, 2020.[24]
