Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Jungle Cruise’ Pushed Back By A Year To Summer 2021

Disney has pushed back the release of Dwayne Johnson’s Jungle Cruise to summer 2021.

Disney was set to take audiences on a new adventure this summer with the release of Jungle Cruise, a new film based on the classic theme park ride of the same name. However, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has forced Disney to readjust its release schedule and the Dwayne Johnson film is one of the many projects impacted by the shuffle.

While Jungle Cruise was originally scheduled to be the release date July 24, 2020, that release date has now be taken by the live-action remake of Mulan, which had to be pulled from its March slot due to the pandemic. Now, the Dwayne Johnson film will debut in theaters on July 30, 2021, a full year after its initial release date.

Are you disappointed that we have to wait a whole year to see the film? Were you excited to see Jungle Cruise?
