Jack Whitehall Joins Dwayne Johnson And Emily Blunt In JUNGLE CRUISE!

Disney is getting its cast together for its upcoming film Jungle Cruise based on the popular Disneyland attraction, and a new name has been added to the cast.

According to Variety, British comedian Jack Whitehall has joined Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in the upcoming film.

Whitehall will play Blunt’s brother.

The plot will be centered around the search for the mystical Tree of Life which is said to have curative powers. (No word yet if this will be connected to the Tree of Life that can be found in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida.)

Dwayne Johnson is playing Frank, A witty riverboat captain cursed with immortality who takes Lily Houghton down the river. Blunt will play Lily Houghton,
Spunky scientist in search of the Tree of Life. Her quest is inspired in part by the death of her brother which was caused by an infectious disease.

Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows, The Commuter) is set to direct the film, with Flavio Labiano (Non-Stop) as cinematographer, The Jungle Book VFX supervisor will also oversee VFX on Jungle Cruise.

There is no official release date for Jungle Cruise as of yet.
