Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt Reteam for Superpower Comedy Titled BALL AND CHAIN

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt star together in the upcoming Disney film Jungle Cruise, and they are ready to reteam for a new film project.

The film is a superpower comedy titled Ball and Chain and Johnson and Blunt play a “bickering couple who receive superpowers that only work if they can learn to put aside their differences and work together.”

The film is based on a four-part comic book that was published in 1999, and this is the description of the comic:

Edgar and Mallory Bulson have decided to throw in the towel. That was the plan anyway, until a mysterious meteor bathed the battling couple in extraterrestrial energies that gave them super-powers. Will their newfound abilities be enough to make their marriage work?

The script for the movie is being written by Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick), and Kevin Misher is producing with Seven Bucks. There are several studios bidding on the project right now, and it’s looking like Netflix will come out on top.
