Disney has given the official go-ahead for a sequel to this Summer’s action-adventure family feature “Jungle Cruise” starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.
Both actors are set to return as wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton respectively. No word whether the film’s scene-stealer Jack Whitehall as Lily’s brother Macgregor will also return.
The film’s creative team of writer Michael Green, director Jaume Collet-Serra and producers John Davis, John Fox, Beau Flynn, Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia are also all expected back.
The film recently crossed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office (and $187 million worldwide) this past weekend and has held well at the box-office with only small drops – even as the film has been available as a Disney+ Premier Access title.
Audiences have given the movie an A- Cinemascore, and it has garnered a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
