Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that reshoots are done on Disney's production got underway about three years later, with Johnson leading a cast that includes Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramirez, and Paul Giamatti.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Jungle Cruise was originally scheduled to arrive this fall on October 11. However, Disney later shifted the film back to 2020 and Jungle Cruise's pickup photography, which got underway last month. Either way, the reshoots weren't too extensive, as evidenced by the fact that they've already wrapped.
Johnson recently took to his Instagram to confirm the Jungle Cruise reshoots are done. He also included a photo of himself and Blunt on the film's set, to go with the announcement. You can check both out in the space below.
Official details are still under-wraps, but Jungle Cruise reportedly takes place in the early 20th century and follows a riverboat captain (Johnson) as he leads a scientist (Blunt) to find a legendary tree in South America's jungles, before a rival expedition does. Most of the people working on the film have likened it to Indiana Jones at some point, and Johnson does it again in this post, referring to Blunt's character as "the female version of INDIANA JONES ". The movie is also said to take inspiration from The African Queen, when it comes to the oil and water relationship between its leads. The Rock reaffirms as much during his latest update, noting that his character really only cares about "my money, my liquor and my cat", and has little interest in his companion's ambitions and loftier goals.
Jungle Cruise has avoided controversy up to now, Pirates of the Caribbean, now that the other Disney theme park ride-turned tentpole has (seemingly) run out of fuel.
