Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson team up for adventure in lighthearted ‘Jungle Cruise’ trailer

[ad_1]

Dwayne Johnson is heading back to the jungle — not for another Jumanji sequel (not yet, anyway), but for Disney’s Jungle Cruise. Johnson plays an explorer who has spent years searching for a mythical, magic healing tree, but he’s finally found a partner in the expedition who wants it as badly as he does (Emily Blunt).

Troubled by your choice of presidential candidates in 2016? Zac Efron knows how you feel, and he’s already got an alternative candidate in mind — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

“He wants to make an impact beyond acting,” said Efron of his Baywatch co-star in an interview with The Times of London. “He could run for president. F--- it, he’d be better than anyone at this point.”

The Rock himself has teased a possible future in politics in an interview with British GQ:

“I’ll be honest, I haven’t ruled politics out. I’m not being coy when I say that, but at the moment I am not sure. I can’t deny that the thought of being governor, the thought of being president, is alluring. And beyond that, it would be an opportunity to make a real impact on people’s lives on a global scale.”

Before Johnson follows in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, he has an overflowing plate of entertainment projects to complete first. Not only has his HBO series Ballers just been renewed for a third season, but Johnson is also a part of that big screen version of Baywatch with Efron, Disney’s Moana, Fast 8 (and possible sequels), the remake of Jumanji, and at least six other announced projects he’s attached to through 2019, according to IMDB. Hmmm, so that means he’s free for a 2020 ballot project — unless he gets too busy running his new YouTube channel by then?

A chance encounter led to a fairytale ending for 14-year-old Auli'i Cravalho, who was announced on Wednesday as the voice of Disney's newest princess.

Cravalho won the role of Moana, the brave young girl at the center of the upcoming animated film Moana, after first being spotted by a casting agent during a charity singing competition in Oahu according to People magazine. Rachel Sutton, the film's casting director, says in a new video that Cravalho was the very last girl she saw during auditions — perhaps because she knew that the native Hawaiian, who lives in the town of Mililani, would be the one.

"Moana is such an amazing character," Cravalho told People. "She’s brave, she is so empowered, she knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to get it, and I think that’s something that I can relate to as well. I just love watching how she goes along in this wonderful movie and grows as a person and helps her culture along the way."

Moana —which will hit theaters on Nov. 23, 2016 — is set 2,000 years ago and focuses on the title heroine's quest to fulfill her ancestors' quest (no word yet on what that quest might be). In the photo above, we get our first full look at the young princess, as well as the tattoo-covered demi-god Maui, the character played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Johnson will also seriously sing in the film — a first for the Fast and Furious costar and former pro wrestler.

Johnson did, however, help Yahoo Movies sing the Frozen hit "Let It Go" when we spoke with him at D23 in August. Watch the video below.
