Yesterday a new trailer dropped for Disney’s upcoming adventure film Jungle Cruise. That trailer put a focus on Dwayne Johnson’s character Skipper Frank. Well, today we’ve got another trailer to share with you and this one puts the spotlight on Emily Blunt’s character Dr. Lily Houghton.
The trailer is introduced by Emily Blunt, and as you’ll see, she and Johnson are having a fun time taking jabs at each other over who’s character is more important. Blunt explains that Johnson’s trailer wasn’t the actual real trailer, and that it misrepresented the film. This one is the actual trailer. Also, I just want to say that I love Emily Blunt, she’s just so dang charming!
The movie is described as an “adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon,” and the story follows “wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff (Johnson) and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt). Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.”
Jungle Cruise was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and also stars Jesse Plemons, Edgar Ramirez, and Jack Whitehall. The movie is set to be released in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30, 2021.
