Can’t wait to see Disney’sJungle Cruise? Well, now you can watch the film’s beginning in anticipation of its July 30 release, courtesy of starDwayne Johnson. Johnson tweeted out the film’s “massive and fun”opening sceneto celebrate the film’s release in theaters and on Disney+, proving that the adventure comedy will be just as enjoyable as its much-loved theme park origins.
In the four-minute clip, Johnson’s Frank Wolff is preparing to take a sail into treacherous jungles withEmily Blunt’s Lily Houghton and her brother, MacGregor (Jack Whitehall), neither of whom seem particularly prepared for a trip into the unknown. Lily has found herself stuck in a covered cage full of birds, while Wolff and MacGregor have found themselves the unwelcome recipients of unnamed goons, all while MacGregor moans about the state of his luggage.

In typical heroic fashion, Wolff goes after Lily to assist her and take care of the goons, while Lily proves herself to be more than meets the eye, with a strong right hook and a zipline from heights that would make even the best adventurers jealous. (That is, until things go just slightly off-course.) Boasting anIndiana Jones-esque action sequence and a setting reminiscent ofThe African Queen— the film which partially inspired the originalJungle Cruiseattraction — the opening sequence gives audiences much to look forward to, whether they travel to theaters to see the film or purchase it at home.
