Disney's JUNGLE CRUISE Casts Edgar Ramirez and Jesse Plemons as Villains
Disney’s latest attempt to transform one of their attractions into a movie is Jungle Cruise. So far, the movie will star Dwayne Johnson as a boat captain, Emily Blunt as his passenger, and Jack Whitehall as her brother. THR reports that they’ve added Edgar Ramirez to play, “a man with a conquistador background who is one of the story's villains.”
In addition, Variety reports that Jesse Plemons will also appear as a villain with no elaboration. Not many details are known about the plot, but Johnson has said that the film will be inspired by The African Queen and according to the report it will involve a quest for a tree with healing powers and a rival "German expedition figure" who I am guessing is to be played by Plemons.
The film is said to start filming in May and the latest version of the script was penned by Michael Green who also worked on Logan. Jaume Collet-Serra is directing this film based on the popular theme park attraction. Are you excited for this film? Will this be another Pirates of the Caribbean? Are you sick of Johnson yet?
