Emily Blunt (Edge of Tomorrow; A Quiet Place) and Dwayne Johnson (Hobbs & Shaw; Red Notice) have both shared brand new trailers for their upcoming fantasy adventure film, Jungle Cruise, each spotlighting their individual characters and previewing what's to come.
After being delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the film will now debut simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access on July 30.
Jaume Collet-Serra, who is also helming Johnson's Black Adam, directs the film, which stars Johnson and Blunt in the lead roles with a supporting cast that includes Edgar Ramírez (American Crime Story; The Undoing), Jack Whitehall (Bad Education; Bounty Hunters), 2x Primetime Emmy-nominee Jesse Plemons (Friday Night Lights; Fargo), and Academy Award-nominee Paul Giamatti (The Amazing Spider-Man 2; Billions).
The film's plot centers around researcher Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt), who will travel from London to the Amazon jungle. Upon arrival, she enlists the services of a wisecracking skipper named Frank Wolff (Johnson) to guide her downriver on La Quila - his ramshackle-but-charming boat.
Her goal is to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities, possibly possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Along the way, the unlikely duo will encounter innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. As the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes get increasingly higher for both Lily and Frank and their fates - as well as mankind’s - will all be left hanging in the balance.
