Both Johnson and Blunt have confirmed their excitement on social media. Johnson posted, “Captain Frank is back — and he’s not alone. Let’s raise the anchor for round 2!” Blunt teased, “We’re going deeper. Wilder. Stranger. You’re not ready for what’s coming.”
Jaume Collet-Serra is also returning as director, with the sequel said to be darker, more emotional, and visually more ambitious. The studio is reportedly using cutting-edge effects and practical set pieces to elevate the action.
While plot details remain tightly under wraps, insiders hint that a new villain — played by a major A-list actor yet to be revealed — will be hunting the same artifact Frank and Lily seek. And yes, the enchanted jungle will still be very much alive.
Production is set to begin in mid-2026, with a planned theatrical release in summer 2027. Expect trailers and behind-the-scenes peeks to start surfacing by early next year.
So grab your maps and hold onto your rope — Jungle Cruise 2 is gearing up to take us on another wild ride.
Announced: Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt Reunite for Another Adventure*
The rivers are calling once again — and this time, the adventure is bigger, wilder, and more dangerous than ever. Disney has officially confirmed that Jungle Cruise 2 is in the works, reuniting the dynamic duo of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt for another thrilling ride through uncharted lands.
After the surprising box office success and fan acclaim of the first Jungle Cruise film, a sequel felt inevitable — and now, it’s finally happening. Johnson returns as the charming and rugged riverboat captain Frank Wolff, while Blunt reprises her role as the fearless and quick-witted botanist Dr. Lily Houghton.
Sources say the new film will take the pair beyond the Amazon into mythical territories inspired by African and Southeast Asian legends, where ancient curses, lost cities, and new enemies await. With the first film’s Indiana Jones-style energy, fans can expect more epic stunts, witty banter, and, of course, supernatural twists.
