It was only made completely clear that the character was gay at all in the final seconds of the film.
However, the fact that Jack Whitehall’s character is being described as “open,” where Le Fou clearly was not, certainly implies that Jungle Cruise will take the issue a bit more head-on.
One wonders if this is being done specifically in response to the criticism over Le Fou.
While this certainly sounds like a potentially big deal, it’s important to view this with a bit of skepticism even if the report turns out to be accurate.
