Jungle Cruise is a movie you can argue hasn’t earned much discussion from the Disney community but at D23 on Saturday, The Rock reignited the hype.
He kicked off the Jungle Cruise portion of the movie panel with this iconic reference:
“We have gone deep into the jungles to find the inspiration for one of our next big adventures—in fact, we’ve gone all the way to the back side of water.”
His entrance may have been bigger than the quote.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson sailed into the room on a boat.
But he wouldn’t be outdone by co-star Emily Blunt.
“We are keenly aware of the responsibility we have for such a beloved property, and that property is Jungle Cruise, the ride,” Johnson assured fans, acknowledging how beloved the attraction has been for generations. Johnson and Blunt promised fans they’re in store for “the adventure of a lifetime.” Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Disney’s Jungle Cruise hits U.S. theaters on July 24, 2020.
