Jungle Cruise is described as striking “the perfect balance of high stakes, gigantic action, and plenty of comedy.” The film cruises its way into theaters in July 2021.
The Lion King
A prequel to the live action Lion King is being developed from Barry Jenkins. There is no word yet on the release date, or whether it will go to theaters or straight to Disney+. However, we “just can’t wait” to see with this prequel has in store for us!
The Little Mermaid
We aren’t the only ones who “want to be where the people are.” Our favorite headstrong mermaid, Ariel, will delight fans in the live action remake of “The Little Mermaid.”
The film, directed by Rob Marshall, will feature songs from the animated original film, and new music from Allen Menken and Lin Manual Miranda.
Halle Bailey stars as Ariel, and is joined by Jonah Hauer-King, Awkwafina, Daveed Diggs, Jacob Tremblay, Melissa MaCarthy, and Javier Bardem.
