Jungle Cruise Trailer
Jungle Cruise is clearly aiming to become this generation’s Pirates of the Caribbean: a fun, splashy, buckwild popcorn flick based on a theme park ride and anchored by charismatic actors. And this latest trailer gives us a hint of that, all fast-paced and raring for adventure. But I have to admit my excitement for Jungle Cruise was tempered until I heard that Jesse Plemons, who plays the villain of the piece, teased of his performance: “It’s as big as I’m capable of being.”
Jesse Plemons going big? How big are we talking? Because we’ve already seen the talented character actor go pretty big in Game Night, albeit in a more creepy, reserved fashion. Well, according to this trailer, Plemons going big means putting on a ridiculous German accent and shooting a torpedo at Johnson and Blunt. Okay, yes, I’m all in for big Jesse Plemons.
Jaume Collet-Serra directs the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. The story is by John Norville & Josh Goldstein and Glenn Ficarra & John Requa, and the screenplay is by Michael Green and Glenn Ficarra & John Requa.
Here’s the synopsis for Jungle Cruise:
Jungle Cruise releases in U.S. theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30, 2021. See the new Drew Struzan-inspired poster art below.
