‘Jungle Cruise’ To Debut in Theaters & Disney+ This Summer
While it’s worth noting that the reimagining of the opening day theme park attraction will not include anything from the upcoming film, (But Dwayne Johnson reportedly helped reimagine it) the film was heavily inspired by the attraction’s puns, jokes, and sense of exploration.
The epic adventure of the summer, Jungle Cruise is a “unique experience,” says Johnson. In his video Instagram post, Johnson broke the news of the film’s theatrical release date, telling us:
“On JULY 30th JUNGLE CRUISE hits theaters AND your homes worldwide ? ?

In a press release, Disney shared additional details about the upcoming release of Jungle Cruise:
Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” is an adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.
