Emily Blunt and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had “instant” chemistry when they started working together on Disney’s new movie Jungle Cruise (premiering on July 30 in theatres and on Disney+).

The cast, which also includes Edgar Ramírez as Aguirre, the captain of cursed crew of soldiers that have inhabited the jungle, and Paul Giamatti as Nilo, Frank’s competitor in the tourist boat business, revealed that there was definitely a lot of room for improvisation while filming of the movie, which sometimes made it difficult for the stars to keep a straight face.

“Every time he’d throw in some awful improv that would make me laugh,” Blunt said about filming one scene with Johnson that involved swinging from a vine.

Blunt called the innuendos during that scene “appalling,” with Johnson jokingly describing them as “dark web jokes.”.

Walt Disney himself was actually the very first skipper of the original Jungle Cruise attraction.

Those puns remain in the movie, taken on by Johnson as the skipper.

When asked to evaluate Johnson’s puns, Whitehall, the movie’s resident comedian, told Yahoo Canada that Johnson is a natural at comedy.

“I definitely feel like I'd be more like MacGregor, I think a lot of us would actually be like MacGregor,” Whitehall said.

I very much feel like he's one part me, one part my dad.”.

Early movie buzz teased Jungle Cruise would feature an openly gay character with MacGregor.

Johnson, however, has expressed his support of the scene.

“I think what’s so great about this movie is that all of the characters feel so fleshed out, and all of them have interesting backstories and are fully realized.”.

There’s no denying Disney’s expert visuals, an epic experience that make you feel like you’re in a Disneyland attraction in your own home.

Jungle Cruise certainly has aspects that remind you of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Indiana Jones and The African Queen, but does a better job renewing your interest in rewatching the classics, rather than feeling heavily invested in this new story.

Emily Blunt, Dwayne Johnson, Edgar Ramirez and Jack Whitehall talk about making Jungle Cruise and why it's fun making a family-friendly Disney movie, and Dwayne Johnson explains why he said that Emily Blunt was a female Indiana Jones.

DWAYNE JOHNSON AND EMILY BLUNT ON STAGE: ‘Wow, thank you!’ ‘Thank you, guys!’ But with Disney counting on "Jungle Cruise" – its new swashbuckling family film based on its popular theme park ride – to help lure people back into theaters, a flashy premiere with stars Emily Blunt and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson seemed fitting.

I get it." Johnson is the riverboat skipper hired to take her on the dangerous trek down the Amazon River.JOHNSON: “For those who don't know, this iconic Disney ride that our movie is based off of, that's the charm of the skippers, is that they tell these very bad puns that are so bad, they're good.

And then, when people exit the boat, they just find themselves repeating these puns and puns, so I consider myself a new aged pun-slinger, if you will."BLUNT: "He loves this."He also slings more than puns – as the two of them encounter all sorts of tricky situations along their journey.Meanwhile, Disney – and the rest of Hollywood – is navigating how to entice audiences, and to that end is also releasing the film on its new streaming service Disney+ - like it did with its Marvel film ‘Black Widow’, much to the chagrin of theater owners.Johnson, for one, isn’t worried about how it will all shake out.“That's just the machinations of the movie business.
