Based on the success of those two franchises, if Jungle Cruise even comes close to matching those adventure classics, Disney may have a huge win on its hands.
The film has been compared to both Indiana Jones and the first Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Both Collet-Serra and Green are known for their serious, more adult work, so it will be interesting to see how they tackle this light-hearted Disney adventure.
The Shallows helmer Jaume Collet-Serra is directing the Jungle Cruise movie, and Michael Green, who was nominated at this year’s Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on Logan, penned the most recent draft of the script.
