JUNGLE CRUISE Sequel in Development at Disney

After a largely successful run at the box office, a sequel to Disney's Jungle Cruise is in the works. The film's stars, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Emily Blunt, are set to return for the next installment.

Deadline reports that Jaume Collet-Serra is signed on return as director and Michael Green will be back to write the script. The film was released in U.S. theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30, 2021.

Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, Disney's "Jungle Cruise" is an adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. 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.
