The “ Jungle Cruise ” sequel is likely dead, at least according to stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt . The duo headlined Disney’s 2021 adventure movie about a riverboat captain who guides a scientist and her brother on a mission to find the Tree of Life. The film was inspired by the Disney theme park ride, similar to “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

When asked by Entertainment Weekly about whether or not the sequel remains on deck, Johnson answered: “I don’t think so.”

“I think when Disney came under new leadership, they just shifted coming out of COVID,” the actor continued. “COVID shifted our business in a lot of ways. I think they looked at that property and thought, ‘We did it once, not sure if we should revisit it again.’ Despite whether or not our chemistry was great.”
