Others wondered if it was a publicity stunt ahead of a new Jungle Cruise movie. The movie, titled Jungle Cruise, comes out in theaters this summer. It stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.
According to Wikipedia, the film is “set during the early 20th century, a riverboat captain named Frank takes a scientist and her brother on a mission into a jungle to find the Tree of Life which is believed to possess healing powers. All the while, the trio must fight against dangerous wild animals and a competing German expedition.”
