Disney is taking the world on a ‘Jungle Cruise.’

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt lead the action-adventure, which was originally due in theaters last summer.

Like many major titles, those plans were put on pause due to the pandemic.

Now, though, it’s all systems go and the flick will hit both theaters and Disney+ on July 30.

Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, the high-octane film relays the tale of a riverboat captain named Frank (Johnson).

He journeys into the Amazon with a scientist (Blunt) and her brother; together mounting a mission to find the Tree of Life which is believed to be the home of healing powers. Naturally, they encounter many wild twists and turns along the way.

Check out the extended trailer for ‘Jungle Cruise’, which also stars Edgar Ramirez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti, below…
