I’m never all that surprised when a Disney film dabbles in horror, something they’ve been doing since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in 1937.
Up until this point, Disney’s forthcoming Jungle Cruise – a film version of the popular Disney Parks boat ride – has looked like a generic action film. Today’s second trailer doesn’t really move the needle away from that sentiment, but it does inject the story with a bit of horror.
If you swapped out Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson with Johnny Depp’s Captain Sparrow, Jungle Cruise would look like the latest Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, splashing the film with a supernatural element and a villain that steers this boat right into eco and body horror territory (we’ve even got Candyman vibes in the image seen above!).
This shouldn’t be all that surprising considering horror veteran Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax, Orphan, The Shallows) directs the film, which will release simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on Friday, July 30.
