If so, the part could be a small one, though clearly a significant one if they wanted Giamatti to play it.
The story will see Johnson’s skipper taking a sister and brother, played by Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall, through the Amazon in search of a tree that allegedly has healing capabilities.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paul Giamatti will play the role of a “crusty harbormaster” in the Jungle Cruise movie, a role which will almost certainly come in contact with the boat captain played by Dwayne Johnson.
Exactly where the harbormaster fits into the story isn’t clear, but one would expect he runs the harbor at the beginning of the adventure down the Amazon.
