Did you know
- Trivia Many of the puns Frank uses are taken directly from the Disney Parks attraction on which the movie is based. These "so bad they're good" jokes are one of the reasons why Jungle Cruise skippers are so important to the ride experience.
- Goofs Prince Joachim knows where the trapped Spanish are located. There was no record of this because only Skipper knew where he trapped them.
Frank Wolff : If you're lucky enough to have one person in this life to care about, then that's world enough for me.
- Crazy credits The bay in the Disney logo is seen to have the water glowing purple, and after the Disney logo fully appears the camera dives into the water and leads to the Tree of Life, which opens the film.

After it was pushed back from its original October 2019 release date to July 2020 before being pushed back another whole year, the time has finally come that we get to see Dwayne Johnson visit " the backside of water ." In Jungle Cruise , based on the popular Disneyland attraction of the same name, The Rock plays a sea boat captain enlisted to help guide an eccentric scientist, played by Emily Blunt , on a quest to find the Tree of Life during World War I. While it is easy to tell that this is destined to be one of the biggest 2021 movies with such huge stars in the lead, there are many other big names in the Jungle Cruise cast to look forward to seeing.
![jungle cruise boat tourist cast Dwayne Johnson in Jungle Cruise](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WNN7apmofwsCPo4tMF5PzY-320-80.jpg)
Dwayne Johnson (Frank Wolff)
Playing a hero named Frank who runs a slightly sketchy river tour operation until he's hired by Emily Blunt ’s character for an entirely different purpose is The Rock. He first transitioned from wrestling to acting playing his father on That ‘70s Show before making his film debut in 2001’s The Mummy Returns as The Scorpion King.
He first became friendly with Disney with family films like The Game Plan before the Fast and Furious movies certified him as a franchise rejuvenator and box office draw. After the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star returns to the jungle again, he will re-team with Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra for Black Adam (one of the most anticipated DC movies ), return to California for a Big Trouble in Little China sequel, and revisit Hawaii for Robert Zemeckis’ Kamehameha biopic , The King.
![jungle cruise boat tourist cast Emily Blunt in Jungle Cruise](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/CCpX6xzfCLzqRi6fspwDWa-320-80.jpg)
Emily Blunt (Dr. Lily Houghton)
It is actually surprising that it took until now for Dwayne Johnson and Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (who plays Lily Houghton, a woman on a quest to find a mythical tree in the Amazon that can cure any ailment) to join forces. For one, she is also a Disney darling, with Mary Poppins Returns and others, and has led action-packed blockbusters like the A Quiet Place movies (directed by and co-starring her husband John Krasinski ).
The British beauty first got America’s attention with 2006’s The Devil Wears Prad , which led to an impressively versatile career, ranging from sci-fi thrillers like Looper to dark indie dramedies like Sunshine Cleaning to light rom-coms like The Five-Year Engagement with Jason Segel . Blunt does not seem interested in granting many fans’ wish to see her play Invisible Woman in the Marvel movies , but could follow Jungle Cruise by reprising her Edge of Tomorrow role if the long-awaited sequel ever happens , that is.
![jungle cruise boat tourist cast Jack Whitehall in Jungle Cruise](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/grnczTsGGTzj8qSM7Xdj4V-320-80.jpg)
Jack Whitehall (MacGregor Houghton)
Playing the role of MacGregor Houghton, the brother of Lily who accompanies her on the voyage is Jack Whitehall, who may finally make a splash with American audiences by starring in Jungle Cruise . This is not to say, however, that the British comedian does not already have a following in the States, having starred in 2016’s Mother’s Day , the hit Amazon Prime original miniseries Good Omens in 2019, and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (his first collaboration with Disney) a year earlier. Later in 2021, Whitehall will appear in the live-action Clifford the Big Red Dog movie and is slated to star in two very unique upcoming romance movies called Silent Retreat and Robots .

As Nilo Nemolato, who manages the port where Frank keeps his boat, we have Paul Giamatti , who has been acting since the ‘90s, appearing in bit parts in movies like Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show and the Saving Private Ryan cast before he earned his first Golden Globe nomination for 2004’s Sideways , which made him a household name.

Jungle Cruise marks Paul Giamatti's second collaboration with Disney after Saving Mr. Banks and his second collaboration with Dwayne Johnson after San Andreas from 2015. He. is also a series regular on Showtime’s Billions and will reportedly reunite with Sideways director Alexander Payne for The Holdovers .

Jesse Plemons (Prince Joachim)
Prince Joachim, the one who steals the arrowhead from Emily Blunt and attacks Dwayne Johnson's boat from a submarine in the Jungle Cruise trailer, is played by Jesse Plemons . He has has proved that he can play a good bad guy as Todd on the Breaking Bad cast , in one of the best Black Mirror episodes (“U.S.S. Callister”), in the dark comedy Game Night , Netflix’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things , and as a morally bankrupt FBI agent in Judas and the Black Messiah most recently.
Jungle Cruise could technically qualify as the latest of his multiple Disney projects, having appeared in Twentieth Century Fox’s Like Mike as a teen and Fargo - FX’s anthology series based on the 1996 Coen Brothers movie. The former Friday Night Lights cast member also worked with Steven Spielberg on Bridge of Spies , was directed by Martin Scorsese for The Irishman and the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon , narrated Vice , and his role in Antlers (one of the most anticipated upcoming horror movies ) will finally hit the screen in October. 2021.
![jungle cruise boat tourist cast Edgar Ramirez in Jungle Cruise](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/m8auvQWJsMEua4M9QiAe2U-320-80.jpg)
Édgar Ramírez (Aguirre)
Also playing one of the villains in Jungle Cruise , named Aguirre, is Venezuelan actor Édgar Ramírez, who has played everybody from Gianni Versace to the role of Bohdi in the remake of Point Break after breaking out in Hollywood in a small The Bourne Ultimatum part. This led to getting second billing in the possession thriller Deliver Us From Evil , the lead in sports biopic Hands of Stone , and a few Netflix movies, including 2017’s Bright and the family comedy Yes Day in 2021. Following Jungle Cruise (his second film with Emily Blunt after The Girl on the Train ) Ramírez will reunite with his Zero Dark Thirty co-star Jessica Chastain in Netflix’s The 355 and has joined the Borderlands cast for Eli Roth’s film adaptation of the popular video game series.

Veronica Falcón (Trader Sam)

The following year has been huge for the Mexican actress so far, from a small part on the Falcon and Winter Soldier cast , a large part on the Why Women Kill cast, and an appearance in the latest of the Purge movies , The Forever Purge . Falcón will next star on Ozark Season 4 , in The Starling alongside Melissa McCarthy and Timothy Olyphant, and Apple TV+’s Mr. Corman with creator and star Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
![jungle cruise boat tourist cast Jungle Cruise's Andy Nyman in Ghost Stories](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Qj2q263tuoXVyd25udXiST-320-80.jpg)
Andy Nyman (Sir James Hobbs-Coddington)
Another British actor who could likely call Jungle Cruise the most high-profile credit on his resume to date (at least to American audiences) is Andy Nyman, who previously worked with director Jaume Collet-Serra on the Liam Neeson action thriller The Commuter in 2019. Much earlier, he starred in the original Death at a Funeral from 2007 , played The Tumor in Kick-Ass 2 , and appeared on Netflix’s Peaky Blinders as Winston Churchill.

It looks like the Jungle Cruise cast may help drive Disney’s latest theme park attraction-based movie toward a treasure trove of riches.

DiGiorno Unveils Deadpool & Wolverine Themed Pizzas
The three-body problem to receive a new adaptation amid netflix success, deadpool & wolverine producer wants to see mcu series villain meet wade wilson.
With the promise of adventure, excitement, legends and curses , Disney’s Juggle Cruise is sure to be an exhilarating movie. It takes its inspiration from the boat attraction of the same name, which can be found at four Disney theme parks worldwide, and its premise is the search for the legendary Tree of Life. The only problem is that that tree, which could greatly improve medicine, is supposedly deep within the Amazon Jungle.
Intent on making the discovery of a lifetime, a British scientist and her brother travel to South America and enlist the services of a local captain, who runs a less-than-pristine riverboat attraction. Along the way, they will have to face the dangerous wildlife and the deadly environment of the Amazon. And to make matters worse, there has to be a villain of some kind, so an Imperial German expedition is also racing to find the same legendary tree. With all that to keep track of, here's who’s who ahead of Jungle Cruise’s release.
RELATED: Disney Insiders Reportedly Downplay Jungle Cruise Box Office Expectations
Dwayne Johnson as “Skipper” Frank Wolff
“The Rock” plays Frank Wolff, who owns a jungle cruise business that he describes as the “cheapest” expedition of its kind. Frank tends to be shrewd and cynical but can be noble when the need arises. During Jungle Cruise , Frank is hired to offer passage to two explorers on their quest for the Tree of Life on his boat La Quila but only agrees after being offered a large sum of money. His character is based on the skippers from the original Jungle Cruise attraction, and his attire takes inspiration from Charlie Allnut from The African Queen .
Emily Blunt as Dr. Lily Houghton
The star of A Quiet Place II , Emily Blunt plays Dr. Lily Houghton, who is a bit like Indian Jones -- eccentric and always looking for an adventure. According to Blunt , Lily is “brave and fearless and wild, and she’s brilliant-minded and humble.” In Jungle Cruise , the character is a British scientist and explorer determined to find the Tree of Life to study it for its medicinal benefits. She, along with her brother, travel to South America, where they hire Skipper Frank Wolff to give them passage up the Amazon River on their quest.

Jack Whitehall as McGregor Houghton
Jack Whitehall is well known for playing Gothi the Troll Priest in Frozen , but in Jungle Cruise , he portrays Lily Houghton’s younger brother, McGregor, who is unambiguously gay. Fiercely devoted to Lily, he accompanies her to the Amazon, even if he isn't the adventurer that she is. In fact, he is skeptical about going after the tree in the first place.
Paul Giamatti as Nilo Nemolato
Paul Giamatti, who recently appeared in Netflix’s Gunpowder Milkshake , plays Nilo Nemolato, the irritable harbormaster where Frank docks his riverboat. For those concerned about missing Giamatti's performance, don't worry, Nilo can be spotted by a pet cockatoo that accompanies him everywhere.
RELATED: Jungle Cruise Won Over Emily Blunt’s Toughest Critics - Her Kids
Édgar Ramírez as Aguirre, Quim Gutiérrez as Melchor and Dani Rovira as Sancho
Ramírez, Gutiérrez and Rovira play a trio of cursed, Spanish conquistadors who are also looking for the Tree of Life. Aguirre’s character, specifically, is based on a real-life conquistador named Lope de Aguirre, who was once dubbed “El Loco” after driving himself mad during a failed search for the lost city of El Dorado.
Jesse Plemons as Prince Joachim
Jesse Plemons, who is best known for his roles in films like Game Night and The Irishman , portrays Prince Joachim in Jungle Cruise . As with any good film, there has to be a villain, and Joachim offers that for this Disney flick. At the same time Dr. Lily Houghton is searching for the Tree of Life, Joachim, who is a deranged German aristocrat, is funding a competing, military expedition to claim the discovery as his own accomplishment.
RELATED: Jungle Cruise Cast Sets Sail in New Character Posters
Veronica Falcón as Trader Sam
Veronica Falcón plays Lupe in the 2020 HBO reboot of Perry Mason , but in Jungle Cruise, she plays a female version of Trader Sam from the Jungle Cruise ride. Trader Sam is the chief is the chieftain of the Indigenous tribe that protects the Tree of Life everyone is searching for. However, the character doesn't come without its own set of issues, as it was removed from the Disney attraction earlier this year after being deemed offensive.
Other Named, Minor Characters
There are other minor characters in Jungle Cruise , but ahead of the film’s release, details on their roles are slim. Raphael Alejandro plays Zaqueu, Simone Lockhart is Anna, Philipp Maximilian tackles Axel, Sulem Calderon portrays Quila and Andy Nyman takes on Sir James Hobbs-Coddington.
Jungle Cruise releases Friday in theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access.

Every Autobot In The Live-Action Transformers Movie Franchise
Tom hanks' 1998 war drama with 94% rotten tomatoes score becomes streaming hit, i'm delighted this horror movie is now a streaming success after its $53m box office letdown 2 months ago.
The cast of the upcoming Disney movie Jungle Cruise is stacked with A-listers and new faces playing a variety of eccentric characters. The family film is based on the iconic Disney World theme park attraction of the same name. Jungle Cruise also makes use of another iconic Disney World item—the Tree of Life, which sits in Animal Kingdom. The titular cruise is the central focus of the family-friend action-adventure movie.
Set in the 20th century, the film follows riverboat captain Frank, scientist Dr. Lily Houghton, and her brother and assistant McGregor as they journey into the jungle in order to find the Tree of Life. As it's believed to have healing properties, Lily hopes to study its properties to benefit modern medicine. The group has to fight wild animals, a dangerous environment, and competitors to get to the tree first. Jungle Cruise chronicles the trio fighting through all these obstacles to get to the Tree of Life and find what they're looking for.

From familiar faces to new ones, here's a look at every character in Jungle Cruise , who plays them, and what other films and TV shows the cast has previously starred in. Let's take a look.
Dwyane Johnson As Frank Wolff
Frank is a sharp yet cynical steamboat captain. He reluctantly agrees to take Lily and McGregor on the river and gets roped into their quest to find the Tree of Life. He once believed in the Tree of Life's powers and searched for it for years. But years of failure forced him to give up on that dream. Frank is played by wrestler-turned-actor Dwyane Johnson. Johnson is a familiar face to Blockbuster movies. He's appeared in the Jumanji sequel series as Spencer, Moana as Maui , and G.I. Joe: Retaliation as Roadblock. Johnson's experience with action movies and family-friendly films makes him the perfect fit for Jungle Cruise .
Emily Blunt As Lily Houghton
Emily Blunt stars as eccentric scientist Dr. Lily Houghton. Her character is incredibly adventurous, making her the perfect complement to Johnson's Frank Wolff. Her desire to find the Tree of Life is the driving force behind the movie's plot. Lily hopes to use its healing properties to help other people. Blunt is known for her roles in movies such as the A Quiet Plac e franchise, The Devil Wears Prada , and The Edge of Tomorrow. She's no stranger to Disney after starring as Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns .
Edgar Ramirez As Aguirre
Aguirre is the mercenary hired to deter Lily's expedition to find the Tree of Life. His presence acts as one of the main conflicts in Jungle Cruise , so audiences can likely expect him to come to blows with Frank, Lily, and McGregor during a vital moment in the Disney movie. He's played by Edgar Ramirez, who might be recognized from roles in movies such as Gold , Point Break , and Deliver Us From Evil .

Jack Whitehall As McGregor Houghton

Whitehall has also appeared in Bad Education, Mother's Day , and Good Omens, which was renewed for season 2 .
Jesse Plemons As Prince Joachim
Prince Joachim is the eccentric and wealthy German aristocrat who is financing and leading a military expedition so he may claim the Tree of Life for himself. He is likely one of the film's main villains. Emmy-nominated actor Jesse Plemons plays Prince Joachim. He is best known for his role as Landry in Friday Night Lights , which was his big break-out role. Plemons has also appeared in I'm Thinking of Ending Things, Breaking Bad , and an episode of Black Mirror .
Paul Giamatti As Nilo
Nilo is the harbormaster at the port where Frank docks his boat. Nilo is played by the Academy Award-nominated actor Paul Giamatti, who was nominated for his work in the 2005 dramatic film Cinderella Man . He's also appeared in films such as Sideways and Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave . With his numerous award nominations and wins, Giamatti is likely the most critically acclaimed actor in the entire cast of Jungle Cruise .

Simone Lockhart as Anna: Anna is a young woman who is among the people involved in the search for the Tree of Life. The character is played by actress Simone Lockhart. As she was only 16 years old at the time of Jungle Cruise 's release, she is still a relative newcomer to Hollywood. She is likely best known for her role as Nellie in Sweet Magnolias .
Dani Rovira as Sancho: Sancho, played by Dani Rovira, is another person wrapped up in the search for the Tree of Life in Jungle Cruise as well. Audiences may recognize Rovira from his roles as Rafa in Spanish Affair and León in Taxi to Treasure Rock.
Veronica Falcón as Trader Sam: Trader Sam is a character lifted directly from the Disney World attraction. He was thought to have an extended lifespan and supposedly ran a pub frequented by pirates, including Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney fleshes out his story beyond that, which enables them to place him in multiple attractions. But in the Jungle Cruise ride, he runs Trader Sam's Gift Shop near the end of the ride. As Trader Sam is played by Veronica Falcón , the movie gender-swaps the character. Audiences may recognize Falcón from roles such as Catherine in Why Women Kill and Lupe in Perry Mason .

July 30, 2021
Action, Adventure, Comedy
Join fan favorites Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt for the adventure of a lifetime on Disney’s Jungle Cruise, a rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.
