KEY POINTS

  • "Jungle Cruise" is slated to release on July 30
  • The movie will be available on Disney+ Premier Access and theaters
  • The adventure fantasy is helmed by Jaume Collet-Serra

Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram Sunday to share a new poster of Disney's upcoming "Jungle Cruise" and thanked fans for all the hype.

The adventure fantasy movie is slated to release on July 30 this year. Its trailer dropped on May 27 and garnered a positive response on social media.

"So damn cool to see you all this HYPED for our epic JUNGLE CRUISE," the 49-year-old actor captioned the new poster. "Reactions to our new trailer have been [added fire emoji]."

"Emily and I can’t wait to lead our global campaign and have you join us for the most FUN ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!!!" he added. "Hype is real. Anticipation is building!"

He further wrote, "ALL ABOARD... but BEWARE" and added dead sign and devil emoji.

On May 13, Johnson announced that "Jungle Cruise" will stream on Disney+ and theaters simultaneously. It will be available to rent for $29.99 at Disney+ Premier Access.

The Jaume Collet-Serra directorial is based on Walt Disney's Jungle Cruise and it stars Emily Blunt, Jack Whitehall, and Édgar Ramírez in the key roles. The movie was expected to release last year but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the recent trailer's reaction has been encouraging despite the delay and Johnson seems to be overwhelmed with the response.

One of the fans wrote on Twitter, "This looks so real and not at all just green screen after green screen" while another one shared the excitement of the upcoming releases saying, "Eternals trailer three days ago, Cruella tomorrow and Jungle Cruise trailer today. Disney heat intensifying."

Another fan praised the movie actress and wrote, "Emily Blunt is the most beautiful talented and greatest actress today. She's crushing it and making great entertainment. Been in love with her for a decade."

While fans were happy to see the most-awaited movie's new trailer, some of them noted that the additional fee isn't something they would opt to pay.

One of the users wrote, "I’d wait for this to come out without the fee before I pay any extra hard earned cash to Disney plus. Idea here- give the people what they want and put it into #AMC theaters."

This is not the first time Disney is charging an additional fee. Disney's upcoming movies such as "Black Widow" and "Cruella" will also release on Disney+ with Premier Access along with theaters.

Besides "Jungle Cruise," Johnson will also feature in "Black Adam" and "Fast and Furious 10." Both are slated to release next year.
