Stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt have cast doubt on the possibility of a 'Jungle Cruise' sequel. Johnson suggested that changes in Disney's leadership and business strategy following the COVID-19 pandemic have led the company to reconsider revisiting the property. He stated, 'I don't think so,' regarding the sequel's prospects.
Blunt echoed these sentiments, remarking, 'They did not want to set sail again, and that's fine.' Despite their past interest and chemistry, the project, which Variety reported on in August 2021, never saw concrete development in the years that followed.
The original 'Jungle Cruise' film, released simultaneously in theaters and on Disney Plus Premier Access, ultimately grossed $221 million worldwide. The stars previously showed openness to a second installment, even joking about calling Disney to get back on the boat.
