Disney’s adventure movie Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt debuted in theaters and Disney+ Premiere Access last July. Although it was a box-office bomb, grossing $213 million against a $200 million budget, the numbers on the streaming service have apparently been enough for Disney to greenlit the sequel.

Producer Hiram Garcia, president of Seven Bucks Productions and a frequent producer of Johnson’s projects, revealed for The Wrap what are the plans for the sequel:

I think one thing fans can expect is our heroes covering more territory. Our first movie mainly went between London and the Amazon, but for this next adventure we have much bigger plans. That coupled with the joy of seeing how Frank and Lily’s relationship continues to evolve are just a few of the many things we’ve been having fun playing with as we break story.

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Jungle Cruise is starring Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Édgar Ramírez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. The movie received mixed reviews from the critics and audience.

Director Collet-Serra is currently working with Johnson again on the DC movie Black Adam. Blunt is reportedly in talks to star in Christopher Nolan’s next movie Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy in a titular role. Garcia also produced Johnson’s newest movie – Red Notice – which will debut on Netflix this Friday.

Jungle Cruise official synopsis:

Dr. Lily Houghton enlists the aid of wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff to take her down the Amazon in his ramshackle boat. Together, they search for an ancient tree that holds the power to heal — a discovery that will change the future of medicine.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
