Disney Is Now Making a Sequel to Dwayne Johnson’s Most Underrated Movie

by

Disney is reportedly planning to create a sequel for one of Dwayne Johnson’s lesser-known movies produced by Disney, which is known for being underappreciated. Known as ‘The Rock’, Johnson has faced several box office struggles in recent years despite his skyrocketing popularity within the film industry. Nonetheless, one of his more successful films might be making a comeback on the big screen in the future.

There’s chatter that Disney is planning a follow-up to last year’s “Jungle Cruise” movie, inspired by the popular theme ride. The 2021 film, with Dwayne Johnson as Frank Wolff, was loosely based on the original Disneyland attraction and offered an exciting action-adventure. Despite being released in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, it managed to attract an audience and establish a fan base.

As a cinephile who’s always on the lookout for the latest scoop, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: It seems that “Jungle Cruise 2” might just be in the works! According to insider Daniel Richtman, this is definitely something we should keep an eye on. The script, it appears, is being penned by none other than Matthew Robinson. Unfortunately, details beyond this tantalizing tidbit have yet to surface. Stay tuned for more updates on this promising sequel!

Debuting both in cinemas and on Premier Access via Disney+ last July, the movie titled “Jungle Cruise” drew inspiration from its namesake Disneyland ride and spun a fresh yarn around that popular adventure. Boasting an ensemble cast including Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti, the film follows a botanist who enlists a boat captain to navigate her through the treacherous Amazon in search of the legendary Tree of Life. As of now, you can catch “Jungle Cruise” on Disney+ streaming.

What To Expect From Disney’s Jungle Cruise 2

With a budget of $200 million, the movie “Jungle Cruise” showed impressive performance by earning $220.9 million at the worldwide box office. Given that it was debuted in theaters and on Disney+ during one of the most restrictive periods of the pandemic on July 30, 2021, Disney appears satisfied with the earnings and seems inclined to provide Dwayne Johnson another opportunity to reclaim the top spot on the box office charts.

Johnson is anticipated to rejoin the cast as the lead actor, given his status as one of the most prominent and highest-earning actors in Hollywood, not to mention his popularity. Fans also look forward to Emily Blunt returning to portray Dr. Lily Houghton again, especially since she and Frank Wolff built a significant bond in the initial film.

The main query revolves around the factors compelling the primary characters to embark on another journey across an uncharted jungle or a landscape similar to the Amazon. This could be another climax like the Tree of Life, or a unique objective in a new location. This plot point will influence why Frank chooses to activate his steamboat once more and which companions he selects to join him on this new adventure.

Given that Disney might not release the sequel to “Jungle Cruise” for a few more years, depending on its priority level, Johnsons’ team faces several important choices about what shape the movie, titled “Jungle Cruise 2“, will take in the future.
