Swinging into action: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Emily Blunt look primed for adventure in the trailer for Disney’s Jungle Cruise
At the very end of the nearly two-minute clip, the two stars even swing across a single vine together.
However things don’t go according to plan as Dwayne is unable to plant his foot on the platform across and the two hilariously swing back to where they came from.
Emily says: ‘What did I say? Just leave me alone. That was a disaster!’

‘That was a disaster!’: However things don’t go according to plan as Dwayne is unable to plant his foot on the platform across and the two hilariously swing back to where they came from
Making a splash: The two were also seen swimming deep in the ocean together
Like what you see: Dwayne’s character Frank swam while he had Emily’s character Lily on his back
Dwayne hilariously responds at the end: ‘Didn’t go the way I planned.’
In the film Dwayne stars as a character simply known as Frank while Emily’s character is named Lily Houghton.
The synopsis of the film via IMDB says: ‘Based on Disneyland’s theme park ride where a small riverboat takes a group of travelers through a jungle filled with dangerous animals and reptiles, but with a supernatural element.’
Interesting: Their mission is made early on in the clip as a Frank asks Lily what she is doing out on the river
The female protagonist replies: ‘There is a legend in the jungles of the Amazon of a tree that heals all, it could change the world but if it gets into the wrong hands it could awaken a great evil’
Goal: She concluded: ‘I believe that the legend is real and I’m going to find it but when I do just imagine the lives that could be saved.’
Slithering: Two of the villians, which still have yet to be named, are shown as one is played by Edgar Ramirez (pictured)
Interesting: Jesse Plemons is the other unidentified villain
No sibling rivalry here: It also stars Jack Whitehall who plays Lily’s younger brother McGregor Houghton

Roar: At one point a jaguar is shown in a bar
One on one with the great one: The jungle cat wrestles with Frank
Going for it: A torpedo is shot toward their boat but Frank decides to floor the vessel
Close call: Frank’s risky decision seemed to work as the torpedo hit a different target
Two of the villians, which still have yet to be named, are shown as they are played by Edgar Ramirez and Jesse Plemons.
It also stars Jack Whitehall who plays Lily’s younger brother McGregor Houghton.
Some of the more ridiculous action scenes in the trailer involve Frank as he could be seen speeding the boat up to avoid a torpedo after wrestling a jaguar.
The film also stars Paul Giamatti, Andy Nyman, Raphael Alejandro, and Veronica Falcon while it was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
Jungle Cruise will set sail on July 24 in the US and UK.
