Much like the premature drone , the latestJungle Cruisepreview give off strongPirates of the Caribbeanvibes , properly down to have a cursed supernatural villainwho bet a bit like Davy Jones(albeit , he ’s made of vines and serpent instead of tentacles ) . There ’s also a good deal of humor in the mix here , which is very much on - steel for both a Disney tentpole and a Dwayne Johnson vehicle . Whereas thePirates of the Caribbeansequels have arguably gotten bogged down inthe enfranchisement ’s increasingly convoluted mythology , it appearsJungle Cruiseis keeping thing simple , with writer Michael Green ( The Call of the Wild ) and Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ( Focus ) relying on anIndiana Jones - style MacGuffin to repel the activeness . Instead , Blunt and Johnson ’s comedic chemistry is the bounteous selling full stop here , in combination with Collet - Serra ’s dynamic sense of visual storytelling .
On paper , Jungle Cruisehas all the makings of an enjoyable crew - pleaser and box office smasher , and so far the trailers suggest the film will more or less deliver on what it ’s been promising . If there is one point of concern , it ’s that the movie ’s marketing looks like plump out of its fashion to hide Jack Whitehall . The role player and comedian is costarring inJungle Cruiseas Lily ’s unseasoned brother McGregor , a reference who attracted controversy in 2018 when a report card distinguish him as beinga stereotypical representation of a gay homo . And while that may or may not be the sheath in the actual movie , the fact theJungle Cruisetrailers have void highlighting McGregor at all sure raises some concerns .
